Ahh... I use to work on the River Road in Rosemont and used to lunch-time fly at Schiller Woods forest preserve.

My covering is monocote. I used red, black, white and a little cub yellow. The cowl paint is that LusterCoat stuff in the rattle cans. The checkerboard pattern on the rudder and the unseen checks on the underside of the wing were a pain. The white was put down first and then removed where each of the checks go. The lettering on the wings is monocote that I laid out on the computer to fith the wing. Most the other graphics are vinyl.

The prop is a 20x10 Mezjlik carbon fiber. The gear are carbon fiber but they were no big deal to install. I set them up with a new set of wheel pants, painted red instread of white and then drilled them to fit the four landing gear bolts on the plane. They do not have the big forward sweep that the stock gear or the TnT gear had, but they look okay. The weight savings was worth it. There was six ounces between the TnT gear and the carbon fiber.
