geez the Extreme edge already has a nickname, that must come from all the people who own one or have flown one so far. I didnt think that many had been sold here yet.Which one were you gettin Jas? I know where there is a fully set up 2.3 Comp ARF for sale completly ready to fly for a good price.

Yeah Rusty I tried to take some last night with my camera phone. Thats all I have for a camera at the moment but I cant connect the stupid thing to the computer and load them up!!! Grrrrr.

I will have to buy a digital camera soon. There isnt much exciing to see its just all wood at the moment wings are sheeted, fuse is framed, and last night I got really excited and made a rudder while I watched the cricket.

Do you still have those hovering pics of my old purple and yellow Sledge Rusty?

Hey james I am just sitting here at work (bludging) admiring the covering job so far on your Mojo. WHat did you use for the metallic finished flames????

And is the rest just black and red covering (pofilm?)??? Have you tried the windex trick?

I hope you dont mind too much if I copy your scheme a little?? I was thinking something similar but with 'bubbles' instead of flames.

beny, the black canopy is just thin sticky back vinal that i got from Le Gassick signs, just some scrap cutoffs i got for nothing. got a stack more of it to!
the metalic purple is just Profilm that glenn had at the time, and the red is actually transparant red profilm so that when it overlaped the purple you can still see it.
so its all profilm except the black vinal!

i wasted a fair bit of covering trying to get the flames to look right BTW. lol wasnt easy
