New look

Post by DOG »

Hey there everyone. I had a little incident few days ago. :( My belt on my 450 snap and damage occurred
P4130001.JPG
. I replaced the boom,tail fin,belt and tail shaft on her. I also put in a new canopy on since the other canopy seen better days :shock: . This is not the canopy i wanted to buy but it will work for the time being til the one i want comes back in stock. I liked the look of Lees' black canopy on his warp that he fixed and that lead me to buying this canopy for mine.

I'll find out if I'm able to see the heli in the back ground of the woods, will see. ;)

Sorry to hear about the crash but that canopy does look good. I think visibility is going to be an issue at a distance but it does look good.

Hey there. Thanks Lee, i got the idea when i seen your black canopy that you fixed up for your warp and i like it. I did get the chance to fly today to see how my eyes will react with this color. I also had no problem seeing black. That yellowish color in the front of the canopy, when flying toward your self "Nose in", looks like a big lemon flying toward me LOL!

The visibility of me seeing this Derek was the same thought that you had, Can't see it! Honestly, I can see the heli with no problem. 8-)

That's really good that you can see it! I've just been afraid of flying darker colors because I was afraid that I'd not see it. But...if you can see it...that's fantastic!!! It really does look great!!!

I swear they R easier to see... The close up is awesome of the bright colored canopys... Get out there a bit.. Not so much.. I was looking at that canopy a while back for my 450... But I had already hooked most of her up in an orange scheme... I like it a lot bud.. Did a good job coloring her all the way round! Pretty bird!

Thanks guys for the compliment on the bird. Wasn't too sure if i would be able to see it or not. cml001, that's the color i was going to go with orange "Monster Energy Drink" canopy. This color caught my eyes plus the price wasn't bad either and the Monster canopy been out for the 450 for awhile now. I'm keep this style til i get tired of it or tear it up. Probably the second choice,Lol. Not really. Have a good one everyone!

I like the canopy. I went with the green theme a while back. I prefer the orange trim on my bird.

Looks Good!
