              Thanks everyone for the comments. Ray I live in Edmonton, the flames and numbers are decals, the canopy and back stripes are paint then cleared the hull.

                    Can't wait to take it for the maiden run but all our ponds are frozen now so will have to wait until spring . I'll be running it on 4s since its a 2000kv motor. This was the first time I've used carbon fiber and found it fairly easy to work with, just had to be careful not to move it around to keep the straight weave pattern look but with the epoxy resin it gives it a cool reflective look and really stiffens the hull up.

                            Sure Ken go ahead, rub it in for us up North now that we got 20cm of snow today and everything is frozen solid till spring while your letting her rip . Very nice run, looks great.
