Ordered!

[cliffkp]

nice! looking forward to the pics and the wait time (heard wait time was an issue a while back hopefully its been resolved!) .. i'm considering doing the same soon!

[Inverse]

They reckon about two weeks on a custom order plus shipping.
It looks sweet, I can wait :)

Just got an email from Canomod, base colours are done!
They were checking if it was OK and if I needed anything changed on it.
I have to say, their service is pretty damned good!

Sharp looking canopy! :thumbup: Be sure to post pics when it's done, can't wait to see it all finished.

Dang, you are going to have one rocking machine when you are done. Can't wait to see the finished project!! :thumbup:

[cliffkp]

just sent canomod an e-mail with a pic to see if they can duplicate it... all orange and black flames with pi**ed off eagle eyes on the outside... looks mean! :thumbup: unfortunately once it gets in the air with me flying its gonna look like it needs training wheels on it lol
:rolling

throw us a line when it gets to you inverse with some pics! toss a tiny review in there on what you thought of the paint job as well if you can please :noteworthy want to make sure i want to go through with the purchase :hug:

[Inverse]

For sure, it'll probably be finished this week, then perhaps another week to get it to me :)

[cliffkp]

They said they can do the paint job so I'm going ahead and ordering! Can't wait. Also have edge blades. Orange Kbdd rotor blades. a co pilot ii on its way. And load of more spares to keep me in the air for a good while. Can't wait! I'll drop a pic on here tomorrow as well to give a preview of the canopy.. not trying to hijack you inverse. Hope you don't mind just adding to the excitement! :)

[Inverse]

All good mate, I want to see your canopy.

That's the idea without the red eagle emblem on top! :thumbup:

[Inverse]

I look forward to seeing the finished result :)

[Inverse]

Mine has shipped!

[cliffkp]

Awesome!

Edge blades arrived today as well.
Just waiting on my Vbar (Somewhere between here and the US, somewhere) and my Kontronik, NO idea where that is as Kontronik obviously think they are too good to reply to their customers :mad::arggg:

[cliffkp]

Canomod? I have zero issues with Canomod, Bee has been a delight to deal with.
My beef is with USPS and Kontronik at the moment.

Yeah not a huge deal per say but talking to (i'm not sure who) them they were saying they would get back with me very soon and in which case it was days on several occasions (having some communication problems with the designer but it was never relayed back to me until i got the msg a day (or days) later.

:quotesvery soon:quotes to me in a work place environment is within a few hours and definitely at least that day. Anyway it's not the end of the world but was a bit aggravating at the time for me.

Quick update:
My canopy arrived on Friday and it's sweet! The finish is really good, a few tiny flaws from masking but nothing much and it came really well packaged.

Very nice :Bang

[cliffkp]

looks beautiful... mine has shipped.. but i have no clue what the finished product looks like. i have to say my experience hasn't been as well as yours inverse :( .. i sure hope the finished product was what i was looking for... pretty much impossible to ship back if there are some large flaws... considering I will have payed for the cost of the canopy... i sent them an email asking what was up and they were very apologetic but I have to say I was really counting on slightly better service considering I payed for a "custom" job.. heres to crossing my fingers... :peace:roll::hug:

[Inverse]

Mine has some minor masking and overspray flaws, if I had wanted a blingboy or other specialist brushed canopy I would have paid a much higher premium.
For the $60 I paid I am more than happy with the result. It's exactly what I wanted and much better than I expected.
