      Thats a nice 550 Geena. U know the thing I like about the 550 is that its pretty darn good value out of the box. Its reasonably powerful, flys well and is cheap to fix. I have had heaps of flights on my 550 - I will post some pics...hangon...

      I will vouch for the hard life smackmeharder has given that thing and
      crash has had its hands on it many a many times. Remember when the battery
      Flew across the field oh so funny. I to have a 550 and it's one of my all
      time favorites never been smashed hence the name 5fidy. I have no photos of it
      I will get some and post them it's now a night flyer to......

      Thank you, HeliGods. :) I have changed the tail boom to a red one since this photo was made. Due to an alternative landing scenario about two months ago. LOL.

      That`s the main reason I chose it for my beater helicopter. Parts are everywhere, and cheap too. Mine is pretty much stock, except for the blades, FBL unit, and ESC.

      Ohhh...I love that canopy. How hard is it to see against the clear blue sky?

      Hi Geena - I thought the blue canopy would be hard to see, but no issues for me whatsoever. If you are performing fast piro or complex flipping maneuvers at a distance it may become an issue mainly due to identifying the top vs bottom of heli (thats why i put on one strip of tape on the boom). But really so far its been fine. Its a fusuno canopy. I love shark or animal designs on Helicopters... To me it makes them seem alive when they are flying! And whats better than an angry flying shark with blood in its mouth at a helifield!

      Once i had a dragon canopy for my 700 rex.. It was so cool and everything was blended to match. On the first fight the tail went. The Heli hit the deck and my custom canopy became even more custom. That was a sad sad day.

      It`s definitely a way cool canopy, and even better that it`s a Fusuno. I love Fusuno. If you like animal themed canopies, check these two out, which I happened across at OHB in 2011. I think you will like them.
