Compensator color scheme
Hi. Does anyone have a color picture of Rhett Millers original Compensator. I'm just about ready to cover mine from the Eureka short kit and would like to duplicate the color scheme. Thanks, Jim

No, that's the Compensator. Yes, he used the same color scheme on the Gator Flea. I flew both the Compensator and the Gator Flea when they were available as kits back in the late '70's, early '80's.

Jimmy, be very careful! There are curves on that color scheme! Bring it out and I'll give you a hand!
Just kidding Jimmy, you are the undisputed King Of Monocte!!

Thanks for the kind words Rob. I can cover good but you are the best craftsman I have ever seen, I wish you had more time to build. Jim

RE: Compensator color scheme
Here are (2) additional photos that I found on my computer, they are not in color, but you should be able to get a good idea of what color is what from my original reply. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the pics. I'm building mine with a built up wing, trying to get it as light as possible. I'm shooting for 5.5LBS with an OS55AX for power. Jim

RE: Compensator color scheme
I saved a Webra ad from the old days featuring Rhett holding his Compensator. The caption said something about it being his second Nats win. If I had a scanner, I'd post the ad.
