I had the Pinto as well. Beautiful plane ( as was the Oriental!) Mine was covered in Metallic Green Super Monokote with gold trim and weighed a freekin' ton! It was almost too pretty to fly. Of course some of the best finishes you will ever see will be found on C/L planes in my opinion.

I remember the article very well from Flying Models magazine. That was where I ordered my plans from. You can still get the plans from FM.
