Ray,

Forgot to add that after I tried to get the color scheme, I browsed your site. Very nice. I am honored that you list my reviews on your site. I wish I had the time and funds to create a website for myself. One of these days I will.

I tried the zip file and it still isn't working. It says that it's an invalid archive. Hopefully we can get it soon, I really like the fact that you made the Extra 300. I am about to get Photoshop from my bestfriend and I plan on making the Edge 540 scheme. I am going to try to recreate the entire plane (minus the Saito because G2 doesn't have any Saitos). I am going to take every measurement as accurate as possible to get the G2 Edge to behave as closely as possible to the real thing. If it works out, I may try to do the checkerboard too. That may be a little more challenging, but I will try.

On another note. I royally screwed up my new wheelpants. I found a plastic model paint that was as close a match, without computer matching, that you could probably find. Everything was going smooth. I snaded the seams and filled in all low spots with contour putty. I had the pants feeling as smooth as glass. I had did my final sanding with 400 grit to ensure the paint had something to "grab" on to. After a couple of even coats, I decided it was time to fuel proof it with some Lustercoat clear coat. Well I didn't read all the cautions. The Lustercoat proved incompatible with the other paint and screwed it all up. When I tried to remove the paint, I think the combination of chemicals created a reaction and the plastic started bubbling. Oh, well. I gues this is one of those live and learn experiences. At least I know what went wrong. I will pick up another set on Tuesday and start over. This time I will do it a little different. I am going to use primer so that I need as many coats to hide the seam/putty. Then just a couple of light coats of the red, and finally followed by polyurethane clear for the fuel proofing. I was actually able to fix one of the pants, but in the process had to add several more layers of paint. I think it is too heavy now. I will post the pics of the two pants in a bit.

I was also able to do the flying wires on the tail group. This went as planned and I had no problems. I used the Kevlar wire to avoid and possible interference with the antenna. Besides, I didn't have the right materials to silver solder the cable to the clevis'. I may set that up too, just to have a back up system.

Later.
