Here is a pic with some reflective safety tape I used to make the stripe and the fins red. You can kind of see the reflective quality in the pics. I used to have flourescent safety orange paint on the canopy and fins....but that stuff was chipping off...I'm not a pro at painting!!

I like the red skids, and especially the pink stripe

Hey Bob, I don't care what these guys say, I'm with you, that's the right way to hold a transmitter strap and all.

I wish she had one!! Even she wouldn't get a pink one. But she is very supportive and even bought me my first heli. I give her credit for keeping the heli up for about 10 seconds on the sim....better than this other friend of mine...maybe 2 seconds!!

I wish mine would even touch the sim. All she likes is shopping. At least she'll go to the LHS with me for a little while, it's still considered shopping!

Thank you Jasmine. Not silly, retarded. I have my own inverted flight trainer, it's called a SIMULATOR.
That contraption is like reversing the body on your car to learn to drive in reverse.

My girl loves to shop! She shops during her lunch break....I agree with you that the LHS is probably considered shopping!

Hey at least for me it is! I'm in Miami, and my only good LHS is in Fort Lauderdale, about 45 min away, so she likes it cause it's a road trip, out for lunch, different stores and malls than our usual ones, etc. Good thing it's far, too, cause I'd be one broke dude.

It is nice. I finally did get the tail to hold, although not very well - it still bumps with pitch pumps and so on, but it works ok in sideways and backwards flight. Piro rate is a little slow, but I'm still using the 420 servo. I will put the DS290G on it when I have some time.
