I've been looking for inspiration for my next canopy and have posted this on a few of the other forums out there.
If you've custom painted your canopy here a chance to show off your hard work.
Attached is my latest attempt at rattle can painting a canopy. One of these days I'd like to get an air brush.

Here is my 8th canopy. Its not perfect, but I love it.
Atomic, I like your color scheme. I can see how it would be very easy to see. Thanks for your photo.

I just flew the heli with the yellow and blue canopy. It really stood out againt the yellow/green grass and everything else. To bad it started getting too windy for my comfort.
See I paint canopies because I can't fly above 3 feet.
But by practicing flying outside (I no longer have a KC135 hangar to fly in) I'll get comfortable flying in breezes and then I'll be ready to venture above the comfortable 3 foot zone. So until then can I have some more canopies to paint??
