I hate smoking. Uterly cant stand it.

There is only one thing I hate more.

That is POLITICAL CORRECTISM.

On top of that, that Marlboro plane is cool looking and Red and White is stunning.

Be Brave and go against the grain.

My 2 cents.

Kevin

Black is really hard to see. I can understand the concern. You know what is worse? Chrome!

Status: offline 		Hey ace.  I can understand why that would be your first choice.  Sure looks good on the ground.  I am equally certain, it would look good on a flyby.  Maybe not for the RC pilot, though.  I am sure, whatever you choose, will look good.    Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Voted for Black and Yellow but my favorite for visibility is dark blue and yellow with some red for trim. Take a look at the YAK 54 from Seagull. While I have other schemes that look better I have never lost, it or it's orientation, in the sky. Thinking about it, I believe these colors are called the Primary Colors. Since then I have done other planes in these colors with different patterns and they all look reasonably good on the ground and in the air with unmatched vision in the air.

Status: offline 		Robert I was torn on this one with the three schemes you chose. I like the blue and silver one but for visability reasons I chose Yellow and Black. I have visually lost blue and white planes before, though typically a glider way high up. I too smoke Marlboro but not a fan of big Writing on planes and I also think you would be bigtime ridiculed by former smoker/anti-smoker snobs and quite possibly the Parent Teachers Association.

Well, I voted for the Yellow & Black before I voted for Marlboro...  Gosh that sounds kinda familiar...  Anyway, that would be my second choice, the Marlboro that is.  It would be a great plane for show smoke!  But still my first choice is the Yellow & Black.

Status: offline 		I like the Yellow/Black, and voted for it, but................... since you smoke, maybe the Marlboro scheme would be a cool choice.

My problem, is that I have trouble seeing red, on cloudy days. For me, it turns black. The yellow/black scheme may have the highest visabilty in various light conditions.

Status: offline 		Decisions decisions what to do. Well you know me I’m a yellow kind of guy so I would go with the yellow but knowing you like I do I think maybe the Marlboro would better fit your personality and I don’t mean that in a bad way.

Status: offline 		For those so impartial to the Marlboro theme I guess it would be ok if it was a Budweiser. How about lets keep the  personnal, politically, society imposed, biased opinion's off the thread. Keep it about the planes.

Thank you!
