Just got some pics of the guys at the XFC from Alan Senior.
They are doing the tandem competition together and Danny is doing the single competition. They are having a great time.

Do you have any closeups of Marcus's canopy Augusto? I heard it was OFF THE HOOK. Can't wait to see it, carbon fibre and all!!!!

those look pretty good. are those still from Dave Yost canopies??

[ShinOBIWAN]

If anyone is interested in a custom canopy, most custom paint shops will gladly under take the work. The quality is nearly always exquisite too. They're a proud bunch the auto paint guys.

[ShinOBIWAN]

Just looked at the larger versions of the photo's posted.

Did Aurora knowingly copy the Kasama Srimok head? It look very similar in design.

[torkboy]

The Avant Programable head has been out way before the Aurora was released and before Kasama made the head for the Raptor 50.

[Finless]

I have built tha Kasama head and the Aurora head is nothing like it.......

Thanks Jason.

I've seen the Kasama all over the place and on all sorts of heli's. You tend to forget the Aurora has been in development for so long. BTW just to be clear, I wasn't talking about the function but the overall aesthetic. They look pretty similar to me.

I think you did the Raptor E didn't you? That one looks different to the 90 size ones I was thinking of but don't mind me.

[Ollie West]

WOW, only 3 words can describe those heli's with those canopys.

BEST HELI'S EVER!!

Ollie ;)

[Espeefan]

Excellent photos. Such beautiful helicopters......
