The type of line used is important. It should not be elastic, and you prolly don't need a chute, but rather a weight at the end of the line. 1-2 ounces should suffice. Low elasticity however is most important. This way you could still leave the line attached to the heli (r/c of course). regards Eb

There's a water based poly-urethane which I heard works well (haven't tried it so try it on a scrap bit of foam first). In South Africa we have fabric paint which is sold (mostly for the home-makers) which works really well on foam, and I paint some of my foam-and-tape models some really wacky col
