Status: offline 		Very interesting scheme... I'm enjoying seeing what people do with the blank slate that was made available... I think that now makes 4 different schemes I've seen on this plane... and I know for a fact that it'll be 5 shortly... Nice looking ship there... don't forget that the designer is available for any and all trimming questions you might have...

Status: online 		Hey Guys-If I may ask-What onboard radio are you using?-Is the "Shinden" fuze/material such that it causes 2.4 signal blocking issues?-(I have a "Shinden" NIB)-
Thanks
Ed

I like the spinner! Just curious, with the extra length of the spinner does it still fit in the 2 meter rule? Bryan?
Thanks

IF I DID THIS RIGHT HERES MY SHINDIN.


Oh man that is GORGEOUS!!!!!! I love that red candy. it might get a little difficult to see on a cloudy day though, I had one in candy red and with a little overcast, it turned black 6 feet off the ground LOL

Still a very beautiful plane!
