You probably guessed that I'd be the first to reply ...
Got any pics of the newly painted canopy? I painted mine after some repair work to fix the huge hole in the top. Didn't turn out too bad. I'll have to post some pics of it later. I just put some carbon boom supports from HeliProz on mine last night. About 4" longer than stock ... made it nice and stiff back there. Need some good blades next. Are you using a sim? It has made a world of difference for me.
Also pulled my first loop this evening!! Actually, my first 5 or 6 loops! Along with some flips ... or at least as close as a ZX can come to a flip. I've been doing rolls for a while now. I've got KSJ paddles on it which makes the cyclic quick, but the roll (or flip) rate just isn't there. Gotta find away to get the cyclic up a couple more degrees!
Maybe we could start a 3D ZX Masters! ... Shuttles only!
