LOL Paul. Trust me, I've been thinking about the heli-type tricks this thing will be able to do. With gyro on the rudder and elev, a death spiral should be doable. Falling tic tocks…

The first time I saw this plane, I was wowed by the video of it flying and thought it looked good…except for the blue canopy. Obviously personal preference, but I couldn't wait to paint it. I'm not a fan of cockpits in sport jets anyway, would not have used the cockpit that comes with the plane. I was worried that, even painted black, the blue hue would show. As I was wiping down the inside of the canopy with denatured alcohol, the paper towels were turning blue! So, I got back to a clear canopy, then painted it black inside. Very happy with the result.
