I'm a lousy artist, but I want a custom painted canopy. Nobody sells Mikado custom painted canopies, like they do for Align stuff (that I know of).
I have a brand new 5003d fiberglass canopy and I want to get it customized. I see Mikado has a service but the language barrier is a bit of a problem for me. Any Mikado reps stateside handling this?

There are several people who will do this stuff....
Ace Helis, canopyfx, anggraphix and a few others that are also listed on the main page of advertisements. All that is required is you send them your design you wish and a canopy and they'll whip you up something. Tom K of helistore.at is also awesome however he is in Austria is all so you would need to discuss shipping costs etc for him. :P

I have been notified that a work like that will cost 215 euros + 60 euros for the canopy.

somthing around $430+ shipping cost:thumbup:
yeah the canopies are awesome.
Tom speaks brilliant english, as do 99% of Europeans, don't get fooled by a "language barrier". I spend a lot of my day on the phone to people in Europe, i rarely have a problem talking
Thanks

I didn't mean that so much, I was referring more about the lack of instruction on the web site itself. I wish I had learned German in highschool instead of French. The French make good pastries, but I wouldn't buy a Cousteau 600 3d, lol. j/k folks, I don't want any French people calling for my helifreak membership!

Ouch, that's must be one heck of a paint job. I think I'll buy a can of Krylon, lol.
