This thread is intended to provide the necessary information to be able to add an opening canopy to your 90mm F-22. It will have pictures and video to help support the installation. If you are interested in a canopy kit please PM me for the details. The kit contains all the 3D printed parts and items necessary to make the pushrod assembly. You would have to provide a 17 gram servo with an arm that is about 15mm from center to where the hole is for the ball link. If you want to line the cockpit tub where you cut the foam away to recess the canopy frame with Styrene or card stock that is up to you but you will need to provide that as well as any magnets to help secure the front of the canopy when closed. I used some small 2mm dia. magnets I got off of eBay. You will need a good sharp utility knife, an Xacto knife, some small drill bits, a 3/16" drill bit, Foam-Tac or equivalent glue and some small screws that are maybe extras from kits or parts from crashed planes. The most important thing is to dry fit everything as you go to make sure it all fits together before gluing. Best of luck.
Correction: A better length for the servo arm might be 19mm instead of 15 depending on the servo you use and your radios max travels.
