Hi Joe,
It is the factory paintjob. Did do the T-Can myself and a new rudder thats less deep to compensate for the extra lenth by the vector thrust.
Some notes about the vectorthrust. Have spend some time now to get aquianted to it. Had it mixed with an adaptable curve to the throttle and had it mixed to the rudder.
My conclusion is that a correct fixed side thrust is all you need. Some kind of power - sidethrust mix is not needed for this model (and perhaps all models)
The Gaudius so extremely rudder sensitive that rolling level is very easy.
With only a small percentage (10%) of vector mixed to rudder it moves like a snake through grass. So not only the tail that swings but now the head swings too. It did not make me fly better. So the Gaudius does not need a rudder -vector mix too.
I do not regret it that much that the rules are explained in a way that it is not allowed. The device did not help me that much and I will remove it.

Have flown two years competition with a Synergy. It is like an old dog. It perhaps can not do the difficult tricks but it keeps walking besides me even when it is not ordered to do that.
The Gaudius does the figure m with ease. It does everything with ease, but you have to stay on top of and keep steering or it will do its own thing. This is perhaps in general the difference between the newer designs and the older designs.
Until now i'm happy with it. I know and feel it has great potential, but we still have to become a team.
