I'd be afraid to fly most of these. They look too good...

My Raptor 60 right after I painted it ...

This is how it looks after it hit the ground inverted ...

then the blades struck the tail boom after a sloppy autorotational landing ...

the amazing thing to me is ...

how the canopy and fins survived both crashes

OK, OK,

Here's my junk, I mean paintjobs.

And many more that didn't survive long enough for pictures.

None of them quite what I was shooting for, but all good enough to throw at the ground.

Ade,
The 550 cc tank (upgrade) is designed the way you see it.

Swale,
Mostly airbrushed. Shadows, cracks, and highlights painted with brush by hand, around pieces of carbon fiber decal that I cut for the shattered appearance.

The coolest canopy is one you can fly and see well and are not affraid to crash it

Plenty here look really nice.

Thanks guys, you are right about my tank being upside down (I checked the photos on some parts lists). However, I'm going to leave it because...
1. It provides a more direct pressure tap path from my muffler.
2. It provides a low pocket for my clunk to burn out the last bit of fuel at the end of the day.
