Status: offline 		I've got a RC Tek Sky Shark. It came with a blank plastic canopy and a fiberglass canopy. I've been looking for artistic inspiration for painting my canopies. Here is what I've got so far. I may order up a few more canopies just because they're just so much fun to prep and paint. Any how, I'd like to see some of your creativity. Tomorrow I'll paint the windshield part white for visual contrast and then plant a few custom made stickers on them.

I am too lazy to paint my own so I just bought one from Ace Helis over on RunRyder. I love the way it looks but I have only flow it a couple of times becuase I am afraid of crashing and hurting it. Because of this I just fly with the Yellow and Blue Align Fiberglass Canopy.

I would buy for sure if the price was right of course.

Maybe one day ?

Take care.

Status: offline 		Hello RussWisc,

If you want you can get a canopy painted when you come around. of if you want they can send it to you. The painter of my canopies is my brother.. i give him the design that I want and he is the one that does the paint jobs... currently there are a lot of projects canopies that are being painted... mostly are the big Maxum helis and some hirobo's...
if you want to get your canopy painted and sent to you get in contact with gopedasia.. you can find him a rcphilippines.com... he and my brother are handling the painting business....

When I get home to the Philippines I'll make sure to bring my canopies and have them painted. I love the one with the Philippine flag. Infact I like them all. Great job. Hope to see you there soon.
