For all of you who have thought to yourself, “I could do that”. Here’s your chance to see all the videos you need.

Scott at Acehelis custom canopies has always produced some of the most unique and beautiful custom canopies on the market.  He is also one of the great guys in the RC helicopter world. His unique customer service and giving personality makes it a pleasure to deal with him.  Every Christmas Scott and his wife have a program of taking letters from the heli community for that RC helicopter pilot that is in need of that special custom canopy for Christmas, then Scott and his wife pick two to three deserving pilots to receive a free custom canopy.  In doing this Scott has brought a lot of respect to the RC helicopter community.  Now Scott has produced a great set of instructional videos on how to custom paint a canopy.  The videos are great for those of you that would like to see how it’s done or for the guy that want’s to paint his own.
