Default It's alive!!! (aka check it out before I crash it)

ok, I scored this off the net.. MX400, with Align Trex Alum Head/Swash, GY401 gyro, Hitec servos, and so on.. it's too late to test drive it tonight, but come first light, I'm sure I'll be trying it out.

oh yeah, custom paint by me.. fuselage was painted with Prizm paint and some sparkly crap I had in th trunk of my car and then clear coated, it changes blue to red in the light.

let me know what you think...

Looks pretty sweet. The paint you're talking about is called pearlcoat. It changes color when you change the angle you are looking at it. Did you get the tx/rx?
