This toy began life with yellow and orange paint job, 3 blade prop, and very small tires. After old Slicky here decided to turn it into a civilian aircraft, I stripped the paint and polished the aluminum, shiny finish. I discarded the smaller 3 blade prop and added a "real wood" massive 4 blade prop in order to woop-ass at air shows. Then I added over-sized rubber balloon tires for landing in off-the-grid locations in the wilderness. Sooooo, what we ended up with is very righteous desk art- - -easy deal.
