If you remove the stripes, be aware that on the glass parts, the stripes have a clear coat over them that needs to be sanded smooth. Also on the fuse stripe, do not use heat to get them off. The stripes come off, but the color, and glue stays behind.
The motors are some older Turnigy SK series motors. Will be using 12x8, or 12x10 APC props. I use the 10s on the A-26, but I don't really need the speed on the Comanche, so likely be using 8s.
