Help me choose the color of my canopy!
I have finished covering my plane, and now need to choose what color to dye my canopy! Any help would be appreciated. I am hoping to fly this next week! These are some older pictures of the plane, but at least you get the idea of what trim scheme I'm using.

Just a caution.
Stay away from black. Looks great but without ventilation can melt a canopy. My buddy can attest to that fact that it attracts sun and can malform quite easily
Personally I think a black/yellow tint would match the convering well but that's just an opinion

I just tinted mine using rit dye, black and navy mix, 2 - 3 parts navy, 1 part black. You get a nice dark blue/black tint... I think it would work using a red or yellow with a small amount of black to get a darker shading of those colors to match your covering.. Would look great.
