Last night I was zooming by myself (I stand under flood lights) and I felt something on my cheek - it was bug guts! :YeaBaby:
I kill a million bugs a night, what do you guys use to clean your blades. I just grabbed whatever was under the sink. I wonder if some kind of wax would help keep them cleaner so the bugs would slide off instead of sticking?

On Aircraft Plexiglass we use Pledge Furniture polish. I dont think it would hurt CF blades or the monocote covering. It works real well. Personally I leave the bug guts on it, My blades had a lot of guts on them, well till I crashed.

I have mosquito guts all over my blades. Those are experience points guys. Serious bragging rights if you ask me. I'm waiting till my main blades turn totally red before I retire them to the garage wall. So many skeeters, so little time. Who can red thiers out first?
