Haha.. my bad.. I was trying hard to remember what the size was of the old one.

I actually owned one for about a month and then sold it. I loved the plane for the whole one flight I got. I bought it unflown with a older 3w 80 twin and froze a ring / lost a cylinder on the first and only flight. Needless to say I kinda got burned on the deal and from that point forward the plane had a bad aura about it for me I had to sell it and move on since I didnt have the money to replace the motor. Spent more money then I had to buy it in the first place

Anyhow.. I always loved that scheme! I actually miss it. ( the yellow and purple) was easy to see and nice lookng.

This scheme is ok... but the blue down the side is too wide and the orange doesnt seem to flow with the scheme. I would do one "wild" scheme and 1 in the blue and red + whatever... so many blue and red planes out there....


Just my .02
