After flying my Goblin again I decided even after adding the green, pearl yellow and silver to the canopy in was still pretty hard to see. So, I painted the boom and lower section of the canopy bright yellow as well as changed the silver to yellow. I can't say I'm in love with the scheme, but It should be more visible. Now I need to have @Decal Dennis make me some decals for the tail boom.

I liked the original white scheme the best, but the visibility sucked. Here are some pictures of the changes.

Thanks Mike!

The shape of the Goblin canopy isn't the greatest for reflecting light unless it's upside down. The area at the top that sticks out to cover the servos shadows the rest of it when your right side up. I guess the answer is just to fly upside down all the time. ;)

And Helicopters! I would need an ambulance as part of my safety gear:face-palm:.lol

Your chopper looks awesome:way_to_go:.

Thanks!

I'll admit, for me anyway, I do think about the fact that I'm controlling something that can lop my head off if I don't keep my mind on what I'm doing.

I like the yellow boom better. Shoot me a text when you're ready for decals
