I know its early to think about, but how about posting some pics of your Aggressor/Viper paint schemes. I like to get some ideas.
Joe, I really look forward to seeing the finished Agg. My favorite was the Viper and I've always wanted to do a turbine conversion on one. All I need to do now is find an old Viper kit hiding in someone's basement. If anybody knows of one, I'll buy it right now. As for paint schemes, see attached photos. I fell in love with the checkerboard underside after seeing it on a Terry Nitsch's Viper. It looks awesome in the air.

I have been thinking of selling my Agg II that has been retired for many years. It is a Autographed Jeff Gordon Dupont Scheme Aggressor II DF. It has been on the cover of MA and RC Report.
Anthony, your Agg has survived all these years? Woo hoo! Dang, that thing had some pretty bright paint! I haven't seen that since Florida Jets '97. I still have a copy of the MA. Your Agg was the cover shot and my Cyclone-X (in primer) made the lead photo in the article. That was the first FJ and a great event.
I sold that plane to Jim Brown who, after painting it, did his best to remove the paint from the underside using ground effect drag during high-speed, super low passes. I'm not sure what happened to it but it's nice to hear that your Agg is still around. Did you ever get to meet Jeff's (then) wife Brooke?
