Thanks for the info, will try the above links.
Bob, sorry to hear about your Oxalys. I saw your report on GBR and it sounds like it was a really bad crash
I have tried dealing with Hobby Net before and they are completely useless. They hardly ever reply to your emails and when they do and ask you to send details they never send the stuff so I'm not even going to try.
I see Probuild sell X-Tech helmet heads which look quite nice. Will need to see if they will fit in the Proline canopy. It should be flying pretty soon so I'll let you know how it goes.

ps I had thought of tinting but supposedly it is really difficult to get paint to stick to the canopy. So to avoid any mishaps with the canopy I was thinking of just leaving it clear but putting in a big pilot.
