I havnt decided if i am going to go the 3D route or the scale route yet. I havnt tryed painting a canopy yet but i have a full graphics set from http://www.rotorgraphics.com/ They look awsome and are reasonably priced. ill try to get some pics here soon.

I have a Hirobo Hughes 300 scale model which basically has shuttle mechanics. Here is a link to my photo gallery:

Sean's are aftermarket gear, but I don't know the brand. Mine aren't tuffstruts, but the are low and wide like Sean's ... you can see them in my gallery. If you can't find the tuffstruts, you may like these. They are Mavrikk's from HeliProz ([link=http://www6.mailordercentral.com/heliproz/prodinfo.asp?number=803935&variation=&aitem=36&mitem=37]Mavrikk 30/50 SuperGear[/link]).

They're inexpensive and very strong ... unless dropped from 100ft while spinning. [] I like the low look too.[8D]

Does anyone know where to get replacement parts for an old Hughes 300 30 size heli? Any help would be great the tail that is on it now has alot of upgrades like aluminum parts but I am sure the factory parts may fit! But not sure or even sure where to get these parts.
