Duane,

I just noticed from the picture of Ed and the Simla that the lower black stripe could not possibly go all the way to the spinner. What was causing the confusion is closing in the nose as I did. The question now would be how to cross over from side to side at the front of the fuselage and how far back from the spinner? In other words, would it run square to the nose, curved to the nose or perhaps chevron shaped? What do you think?

My opinion is that the adjustments that you guys made brought it just about perfectly to where it should be. Only Ed would know for sure. But then that's just MHO. In any case I was pretty satisfied with the possible end results.
