Man I had hopes for the red and blue but bleh!!

Green one is sweet!

I wish they wouldve kept it black and a color, for the size... A black and yellow 18 wouldve been sick!! (blue/blk 15, etc)

Omg, red and black 6m! Oh man!

I really expected a little more retro graphics, more like the original, just adding a little jazz to it. I like the black and green as well as the red, wht, and black. In the end though, I still look forward to hooking into one and taking off down the beach!

Boys, I know that everyone was looking for something a little more sinister. A little more Phantomesque.

But I gotta tell ya that the computer images don't do it justice. It's the best looking Arc since the Venoms and they look great in real life.

The wingtip graphics are actually pretty good too.

(thanks to Tom Mitchell for the shot)

The only one that does it for me is the black and green........ I would have liked to have seen them carry the black out scheme through out the line and only change the graphic color.......

I think an all black with the blue or red would then be as awesome as the green..... IMHO......

Hoping to start out with a Black/Green 15m........

I think like many others i like the strength of the black green - would have been nice to have some of the rarer colours used as the accent with the punchy black to set it off.
purple/black and years ago there were a few flame orange kites (more toward a warm red) that stood out nicely. Looking forward to spanking the small sizes around on a buggy to see what they do.

I needed one bad today. I would've flown one right down beside I-15 with Dora the Explorer on it. Yes, the Black and green are awesome. I wonder how long I'll lay out the tarp to keep them off the lakebed? :smug::lol:

What's odd is that thing really seems to have more of a Syn/Charger type AR & profile...you'd never suspect it's a Phantom follow-up.
