Hi Gene,

Thanks for the kind words...The fuselage I bought had 2 seperate halves. No mods were required for the body to fit, but it did take a lot of time to make it fit perfectly. Yes, the fuselage can be painted on the inside for a more shinny look and clear windows if thats what you want. As for the aluminum blade grips, the blade grips that came with the CNC head I bought, will not fit the factory plastic rotor head, it's a total different setup. There may be a company that does offer aluminum grips for the factory head, I don't know for certain. You may wanna start a thread on that topic and find what you want.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
