ianzone.....you must have stayed UP all night waxing the new paint job LOL it's sure got a nice shine....LOOKS Great too !

Be careful laying that drill close to the drone....its got some magnetism i'm sure in the motor after its off...just maybe ?

Did you take it apart to paint or just mask things? I have seen vinal kits as well, it's nice to customize your drone, one of the vinyl kits was for camo, but I can think of nothing worse to find a downed drone than a camo paint job. Black makes it easy to see against the sky, but white is better among trees. I am not linked in any way to this site, it's just an example

I too got bored, tried my hand at custom inking my old FC40. didn't tape or anything. Read about this on here using alcohol inks. Crazy, huh?
