Nice! Good idea on the tow, my vertical is pretty floppy.

I assume you are going with the "new" Rare Bear paint scheme? It looks like it would be very easy to accomplish :D

This one will use the scheme on the box, but I'll need to tweak it a little to avoid any confusion with the other RR in the group.

The US Navy sponsored RB one year, and RB had a big "Fly Navy " logo across the bottom of the wings, and I believe the rest of the paint scheme was like the one you have now. That could help.

Patrick,

Rare Bear has one of the most colored histories when it comes to schemes. Here are a few.

My Spitfore is still in the box. The Bipe needs to fly first..bought G4 2650Mah this week with 45c, this should take care of business!
Thanks for getting it down safely Jon!

Anyone got a Rare Bear canopy they would be willing to part with? or know where I could get a replacement part?

Thanks,
Patrick

Replacement parts for all of their (Thunder Tiger) planes are available through any ACE Dealer. The PN# for the canopy is AS6369. Have a nice day. :)
