I just bought two Maxi Alpha kits and plan to convert one into a Colossus.

So, I would buy a decal set if you offered one.

I still need a scan of the Colossus decals.

I'll look around and get back to you.

Scigs30 did a build thread on the Colossus a couple of years ago. He scanned the decals but the file was too large to post here. Maybe he could send you the file.

The decal is a freakin' bear to redraw!

The "he-man" or whatever he is is proving tuff to draw.

just give me more time.

Actually if I just had the length and height of "COLOSSUS" I could scale it from that.

I have "COLOSSUS" and the two chains finished. I just need the smaller Colossus with the he-man and the small he-man decals to finish.

You'll get sued if you call it "He-Man"(tm). Just call it a Gladiator.

Exactly why I cloned a Maxi Alpha years ago. Made it with aircraft ply fins, and an ejection baffle. It's had a couple rough landings over the years, and I really should replace the main tube, but it still flies OK.

I love the busting of stones on this forum!!!

I have a couple of the Maxi-3's that I've been flying for years, one had it's fin can rebuilt and reinforced due to chute failure, then the other I built with aeropoxy and I dare it to break! It's all how you build them in my book. I come from the old school of build it better (Can't leave anything alone, I'm an engineer).

They should make that fin can in white or chrome so we can make some Maxi Quasars!! with no fin tip breakage, 'cause they'd be clipped fins!

Flew the Maxi Alpha 3 yesterday at the SoAR launch. Perfect flight on an E9-4, just starting to tip over at ejection.
