Title: Cosmetics!
Post by: VC on November 19, 2010, 10:33:32 PM
I was very happy with the Syma 9074 Co Ax Heli's flight characteristics, however, the paint / colour scheme was rather unimpressive. It screamed "CHEAP TOY" and it could be heard for a mile (read 30 metres)! What was especially unimpressive were the rotor blades with baby blue colouring and "warnings" that were superfluous.

I decided to change all that. Tell me what you think of her now. No difference in performance after the cosmetic changes.  She just looks more mature! ;D

OH a Heli  :P :P :P.
I thought I'd get to see some beautiful babes putting on some cosmetics  :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:
But a good make over. Looks good with the decals.
Happy flying.

Thanks all! Spray paint cans and free hand painting. Achieved the white stripes by using masking tape.  Canopy details still remain to be done. Will post the final pics once I am finished. This is a beautiful flyer and I would recommend it (Double Horse 9074) along with the Double Horse 9098 to anyone.
