    So is a smoking hot looking helicopter more important than a full on ugly smak machine? Is Show more important than go? or is go more important than show?

      A little of both for me, I do like a sexy beast, but performance is key also! Lucky for use there are machines that cover both!

      I want my helicopters to look good as well as perform well, but I do have practice canopies that I use at the local field. When I go to fun flies, I put the nice canopies on.

      Definitely how well it flies for me.

      I spend a lot of time tuning my heli's behind the scenes, like to do it when I am by myself and sometimes can take a few weeks. After that I might tweak it here and there until I am really happy. Once this is done I just like to fly it as much as I can with out playing around with the settings and just fly around the little imperfections that are untunable. When I have a heli that fly's awesome after all this is done I will then look at it on the bench night after night thinking of different ways to make it neater and get the wiring premo so she looks the business. Stickers are also a high priority for me need to be placed in the right place to look the part.

      First thing I think you should do to make your heli look the "PART" @Radar is put your bloody canopy on. Lol
      For me it's both a heli that fly's good is the bomb but no one wants to look at a piece of shiz flying around. That's why
      I fly Gobbys. Lol there i said it. Lol

      I like a heli that performs well and then I can add to the looks later. Radar just likes to fly naked!

      Goblins - Performance and sex in the air !!
      Best of both worlds baby !!

      (But yeah - it has to look good or else the wife thinks I'm wasting money. She couldn't care less if it was stuck on the ground.... as long as it looks the part)
