Title: Phantom Make Over
Post by: Rudeboy on January 23, 2013, 12:24:01 PM
Hey folks gave the Phantom a makeover, so here's the end result!!, also changed out the stock RX for a UHF one so I can use my 9C and set RTH on a switch etc

So here's my Long Range FPV'd Stealth Phantom, looks pretty bloody cool if I do say so Myself!!

If you mean with what I used matt black plasticote paint and carbon vinyl wrap, if you mean why, because it was white!!!!

Yeah I meant what you used, the original looks very ugly, but yours looks great! Nice job!!

How did you wrap it so cleanly - wrapping curves (especially concave ones) is a total bitch but that looks spot on.

hey mate lots of patience and a hair dryer, the little bit of heat works wonders on this stuff, also using the decent 3M vinyl wrap which helps as the underside/sticky bit is all grooved to help allow the air to escape.
