I'm looking to buy a couple Raptor 60 frames so I can strip and reanodize
them. If anybody has some they want to sell because they've upgraded to the
carbon fiber or what not please let me know.

Thanks for the offers, I've got enough right now. I'll post when I get them
re-anodized with pics.

Are you doing the anodizing yourself? If so, what are you using for
color? (as in the product, not the color itself)

I was using the caswellplating dyes. I decieded not to anodize after all.
I just stripped them and polished the heck out of them. I like them alot
better that way. I am disapointed at the quality though of these stamped
ones, and think I will make some with the stiffiners built in on my cnc
mill. I also don't care for all the holes in the things. I think pockets
would look much cooler, but don't know if I'll go that route or just stick
with the holes though. 1st set will probably just be the contour and the
added on stiffners. Pics soon at www.professorwiz.com
Check the gallery, or RC Helicopter parts for pics. Should have them up in
a day or so. Gotta fly - hehe

Man, don't even get me started about Caswell... Suffice it to say
they'll never see a DIME of my money ever again.
I'd love to see the new frames. I've been thinking about polishing
the aluminum pieces on my Rappy... I polished the aluminum parts on
my Blade CP and it looks really good with all the "chrome" pieces..
