If you like that particular helicopter you can probably pick it up at a bargain from the Silverstate fire sale going on right about now.

Pick one of the email addresses below and ask RHC directly about the color code for that paint scheme. Usually the fastest way.

I guess you already have a Robinson color sample catalogue?

I reckon your spot on in those colour assumptions! Slate Grey with Viper Strips... good looking colour combo if I may say so myself

What kind of environment caused your blade delamination? RHC puts it as if it would only happen in an environment that is dusty where you fly low under heavy weight. How old were these blades, and has any work been done on them previously?
