...... A guy, Al Pinson, was flying a Jerry Nelson Pegasus. It was done in red silk with many, many coats of clear dope. Rubbed out to a brilliant shine, it took your breath away when the sun caught it just right. It was the first time that I saw someone flying an old Bramco reed set with separate control box. The good ole days!

A good silk finish is impossible to beat for looks, IMHO. Reed sets, however, I'm more than happy to leave behind in the "good ole days". Unfortunately (showing my age here), I can remember when a tuning wand and candle to fix the slugs in the tuning coils could be found in everyone's shop.
