  • New Canopy


    New canopy (also in painted section) its an Align canopy I airbrushed.

    It fits really well just need an extra bit of foam on the underside to stop the slop!

    I did buy a white Fiberglass Beam canopy but while sanding it down it started to crack and split the surface so that was a complete waste of money. I ended up binning it after kicking it round the garden just to relieve my frustration, which I find helps!
    ...if I could only remember where I bought it from....

            Colours are not to my taste but it looks like it's been done very well.

            I really must have a crack at this airbrushing lark...my attempts would look a right mess in comparison.

                I used Autoair paint.

                Colours are not to my taste but it looks like it's been done very well.
                It does help on dull days and the pink under side really helps inverted.

                My 500 canopy is bright too!

                      Love the canopy phil.

                      Why are the white canopys so crap?, I had two on my blade and the one that came with the Beam all exploded on impact lol.
                      Then I got the beam orange and the red/black both of these have stood up really well to my crashing the Orange one I last put in inverted I pushed it back out and still looks good.
                      All very strange really.
                      Beam doesn't like 30mph winds tho. was like a bullet down wind today he he he
