I cant take credit for the colour scheme, it is from a full size.

The finish looks immaculate Greg. I am looking towards two covering jobs next winter and have been reading up on colour schemes. Yours seems to tick all the boxes for highly visible colour schemes and placement of the colours. Looking forward to seeing it in the air this summer. Hugh

Yes.

I just finished the painting, so I will have pictures soon.

It was great seeing you Greg and happy to hear your maiden flights went well. Can't wait to see your plane in person. Looks like a winner!
