If you're flying ability matches that scheme's appeal then you'll finish at the top for sure

The more I think about the amount of yellow on my original choice the more I think it will be okay. I will find out Wednesday for sure. But for now the black and yellow is still my plan.

Status: offline 		Nice choice Robert,
I like the classic Pitts scheme.

I remember a blue one on the cover of RCM back in the mid 70's when I was a kid. I think I wore that magazine out I flipped thru it so many times. I was relegated to building Comet and Guillows rubber powered models back then and dreamed of flying R/C .
Later!!
Anthony

If I don't get to say it later................
Merry Christmas to you all!!!

I hope your enjoying this just as much!

I hate to see the 500 server errors back. I hope it is just a temporay thing.
