Hi Dave, I'm new to R/C Universe so I hope that this message is getting back to you.

I washed canopy and tried the water & dye method. I also tried desolved the rit dye in alcohal putting the canopy in a large baggie putting the baggie in a large pot of just under boiling water worked the solution around the canopy for more than twenty minuts. When I took the canopy out of the solution it was almost perfectly clear. Is it possible that the type of plastic is just too hard and wouln't absorb the dye???

Thanks
Bob Motta
