Crabster,
That is cool....
Totally different take on a fleet than I've seen around.
You may have reasons for this, but may I make a suggestion? I'd suggest putting a black \__/ under the doors on the second ship as the first. Just that one design element, I think, will make it really click.
How do they fly with the canopies added?.....
Very cool...

I agree with the \_/ idea, other than that they are twins, just ones a bit smaller. Very neat.

Yeah there was a really good reason for not painting the "v".... pure laziness :) Will get to that soon...
As far as how it fly... heck if I know, haven't tried it yet, but will let you know when I get the chance. The trex schweizer on the other hand, fly great :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/68422197@N00/sets/72157603546658225/

what was involved to fit that canopy on the H200?
i wanted to get this too but someone said it's too small and won't fit.
so i got the blade cp pro canopy instead.
are you running on 3 cells? (pic4) with what pinion?
what battery?

ep100 canopy is really small, really too small to fit, I can barely get it on, stretching & distorting it to get it on. But I've also got that slanted battery rig, it's probably too short for ordinary battery location... not sure.
cp pro canopy fits well but is rather big... blade cx canopy fits too, but is a bit snug.
And no I'm running 2s, so just stock pinion.

Well here is a video...

So... not a great flight, but that has nothing to do with the canopy, but has everything to do with my brain! I can't tell the difference between this canopy and others :)
