Still waiting to get her in the air. Ball links are way too tight and sizer didn't show up Fri hopefully today.

Vary nice. I'd like to make to comments. First, Red at a distance turns black, that is why fire engines are now that neon green color. It may be difficult to figure out orientation with it that color. Second, your skid stops, if you plan to fly on grass, I've been warned to take at least the front ones off. They may catch and flip the heli if you slide it in on a landing or auto.

Who makes the skids pipes? Nice looking bird. Good job.

I'm not too sure about the skid pipes, they were on my V2 that I rekitted with the titan. It did turn out a little darker than I thought, its more a brownish color than red. Heres a shot from the front. I got her up Mon night for test hover and plan to get her up today after work.

merickk, on your second pic I noticed the seam down the center of the canopy. Is this the plastic canopy? If so let us know how the paint holds up.

Here are a few of my helis to......:Bang

[merickk]

yea its the stock canopy. i used some duplicolor primer and adhesion promoter underneath the paint. I put about 3 or 4 coats of primer on it before the paint. It's chipping a bit around the "glass" but not too bad. so far its holding up.

jbrown2288, I noticed two of your raptors have TT blades. Can you beleive they don't make them like that anymore. Now they are solid black. Personaly I think that was a bad move on there part, besides, there original color sceem looks great on my airwolf, I even went through the trouble to find tail blades that match the mains, had to get them from Belgium but for the scale ship they look great.
