Btw MasterAlex - what leading edge treatment are you planning? Gonna wrap the forward orange ray down over the edge and overlap the black and white panels? We fly just east of the front range of the Rockies. Experienced fliers are hammering on me to make sure that I have a good horizontal strip on the leading edge to aid sighting the plane on west-to-east passes as we transition from a sky background to a mountain-like background. I have a cub yellow stripe across both stab and wing leading edges. Rumor has it that it will work great for spotting the plane.
Yeah, that's the plan. Put on the bottom stripes then wrap the top sheet of UC over the leading edge. I am thinking that I'll join the pieces of UC first (on my glass benchtop), then put that multi-colored piece on the wing like one big piece of UC (probably each wing half, not the entire wing). The top sheet won't overlap the leading edge by much, just enough to wrap around.
