My own design (Stiletto) of similar size to Edible's Capiche. Not particularly good pics but the only ones i have on my USB pen drive at the moment. Working on a new improved version at the moment. First pic is pretty old - the canopy shown wasn't the one eventually used. Jen 56 power, bog standard futaba 148's/3001's throughout!!

I wouldn't say it's my favorite or my best, but the H-9 Twist with a ys 63 s and a APC 13x4w is a fun plane...JW

RE: post pics of your favorite/best 3D plane
I like em all but right now my favorite in my CH Double-Vision w/ZDZ 50 NG. Menz 22-8 7000, RPM static.
Effortless harriers, elevators are straignt down, and the plane doesn't try to do anything stupid when you get low and slow. but switch to low rates and the plane will groove quite well for faster aerobatics. little on the heavy side-almost 18 pounds- but it doesn't seem to mind.

Not really a fav, however some 3D pics from last night. Z Man is launching one and he took all the other pics.
On Wind Junkie's Sledge, that is all Monokote including the Pro Bro logo on the tail. GREAT JOB my Brotha.
And a big thumbs up to Aeronaut, for identifing Scobie Field. A field I fly at once or twice a year.

Thanks YNOT. Hey that foamie looks familiar, except for the blue nose! I do see my signature on the right wingtip in that list pic though.

RE: post pics of your favorite/best 3D plane
Well, you can see the shadows of my legs on the wing cause the sun was low..
Oh, I guess you don't mean that.
Pro Bro Gator (TERMAGATOR) is the ultimate covering and finishing artist. I followed his directions on how to do a waving flag found on the Pro Bro site. It's a very detailed pictorial "how to" so even a putz like me with absolutely no artistic skills can do one.
I thought it originated here on RCU, but I couldn't find it just now. The shadows of the deep parts of the waving flag are grey monokote (or ultracote). The wing starts out all white, then you put on the grey strips, and then transparent blue and red parts for the clors of the flag. The windex technique is great for applying the transparent colors cause you can see everything underneath and you need to squeegie out the bubbles.
The biggest "eye catcher" is to try to change the direction of the stripes where they cross the grey shadows.
