Default Canopy attempt part four.

1 and 2 came fine, attempt three did not make it past the base coat and I had to strip it and start over. Well here is my fourth canopy. What you think?

Lol. I just got a decal printing set up so if you want a simple fade like the arizona canopies I will do it for you. The only thing I don't have is HOK neons, they are on order. I mixed the colors on the canopy above because i'm using very dull auto colors.

Sweet, sounds good. I am waiting for the dang raptor 50 fiberglass canopy to come out since my plastic one has seen better days. That and my clip has now come undone about 3 times in flight! I figured out what saved me though, the arizona heli regulator underneath the radio tray prevents the canopy from popping completely up jamming the elevator. I'll let you know when I get my new canopy.

Thanks guys,

Shortman, If you want, pick out the colors you want at HouseofKolor.com. Go to the Neon section if you want the really bright ones. Ship the paint with the canopy and I will have it back to you in a week or so. (4oz cans are $10 per color, I have bases and clear)

Sorry, but those canopys just look to ugly for me. I want the raptor 50 one with the canopy posts for the front so I don't have to worry anymore about the clip on the bottom coming loose.

I will get some colors picked out, and when I find a canopy in stock, I'll just ship it to you directly with the paint. I'll let you know when I find one.

Cool by me. I got lucky on scoring this about two months ago from a small online shop. Forget about heliproz, they are way backordered. I got mine from www.hobbyguyrc.com Good guy with good prices.
