Default Choose the Best Color Scheme (REVISTED)!

Hey Guys - Ok, Ihave a few more color schemes for you to vote on.I'm going to have these available in June, and need to get the final color choice decided asap. This is the MX2 30cc plane, comes in at under 10lbs and needs a great look to match it's great flying.

The last one (8) is the option to just keep it red/black, and let the user add their own, or use the scale scheme.

Any opionions are welcome

on an aerobatic plane like that I would want the contrast between the red and white, I voted for #5. But I guess it would kinda depend on what the bottom of the wings looks like..

Number 4 is the most appealing to me. FOr some reason the white on the wings just really seems odd. It doesent fit the rest of airplane. #6 is really cool too, but doesen't have the coolness factor that #4 does. I dig the Red and black scheme, but leave the white OFF!

That is so funny! there's so many different opinions on it. I agree, the white seems to break the pattern a bit. While the originalscheme was "FAGEN" it did not seem to interrupt it as much. I think because it did not connect to the sides. Also, the current curved white scheme I have up, fades INTO the black, which makes it more disrupting. I think the white lines are a less conflicting for this reason (the connect across to each other). However, the curved white has the most votes so far (I think because it just looks cool from the top!)

I think what I’m going to do is leave the wing red, have the stripe ultracote pre cut in the box, so that you can iron it on yourself, OR go your own direction with what you want to do, and have graphics available for about $25 with the "white flames" (only refine it so it doesn't flow into the black but cuts across)

This way it gives the pilot the flexibility to do what they want, but the main cool red and black scheme is ready to go!

PS, this plane flies freaking great for it's size - can't wait to post the video, I've been having trouble getting free to get it all done and then I need to edit it.

The curved white is cool but I think t would look sick in black. I think the white just doesent fit the sinister look that you get with Red and Black. it is a cool looking plane for sure.
