I got my Rebel a few years ago in a trade with my flying buddy. I flew it a couple times on 4s and it was quickly upgraded to a 6s setup. Flew it for about a year and a half and the motor smoked in flight. I don't even remember what setup that was, just something I had laying around I think. After that, I put a 13bl XRP setup in it and it is just a blast to fly. 2210w and 100A make it pretty sporty! Flat and level radared at 128mph. But, she's had a long, hard life and deserved a little love, so she got a quick repaint! Nothing fancy but it looks better now and is just too much fun with that setup in it. I am 100% sure one day I will over stress the airframe or a control surface and she'll be no more, but I am enjoying it while it lasts!

Robotboi Charles Scott @ Ron1950 For you Rebel pilots out there, do you think a new scheme would broaden the appeal on our Rebel V2? I think it would, but just haven't had the time to get around to redesign.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

. i think any paint job would be some help to sell the rebel...anything would be better then the decals that fly off in the air...if you want to paint one all you have to do is use packaging tape on them and they come right off clean
i copyed robotboi's paint job...he did a very nice job on his...i even used his colors

Here's a few that I think would look great!

I really like my Rebel, but it looks are not that good to be honest. For me the two things that I've done is not mounting the nose-cone for a blunter nose and painted the whole battery-cover dark to resemble a tandem cockpit from some distance. So my suggestion for V2 is a redesigned twin canopy and a more rounded nose. That being said, the handling and price makes me really like it anyway.
