I don't know if I already told this, but the guy who was painting my plane did not have the time to do it soon and with event season starting here I decided to use vinyl plotter on it, I contacted a sport dedicated disign company here in Chile and with the disign a friend of mine did, we worked it out, it worked really well they only took about 4 hours to install and the quality of the job is supperb, the vinyl they use is also used on race cars, helmets etc, we only added about 250 grams, about the same that a paint job will add, hope you guys like how it looks, I sure do.... they say it can last about 6 years, but I just want my Red arrows sheme sooner than that, I hope....
I wrote about the braking issue a couple weeks back, well, my braking did not get better with the time, so I contacted Erwin from Airtech last night explainig him my problem, his reply was that O-Ring brakes dont work well with proportional brake valves, I'm usisng the JetTronics that comes with the LG Set, so I will have to change it to just On Off bracking as he suggested, in case someone else is using the same there is the answer to the braking problems.... Will try that next weekend....
Looks good Skymaster, thanks for the advise about the breaks.

I just saw that my pictures are upside down !
