Well I have been flying my Shoestring for 3 years now and decided to strip it down over the summer and check things out and recover and paint. I have enough planes to fly around it. I am going for that Neon Hot Pink covering and will rename it the "G-String." Pep Boys has some of those chrome stickers of female silhouettes for added trim.

I've been thinking along the same lines. Have had mine for about 3 years now, there's nothing at all wrong with it, it flies great (.61FX) but I've got an itching to fix something that ain't broken. I think I got the feeling to overhaul it after coming across the USRA website http://www.usrainfo.org/ and being inspired by some of those awesome planes they have in their gallery. The ouline of the Shoestring is alot like some of the planes on that site so I might come up with my own USRA scheme.

Have you taken the covering off yet? If so, are you thinking about any modifications such as a sheeted turtledeck or fully sheeted wings? Also, do you know where I can get a 2 view of a GP Shoestring? I always like to figure out the trim scheme in Photoshop before I start covering so I don't wind up with a painfully tacky airplane.

I have done this to 3 Arfs over the last few years. I have no projects right now. I have been talking about stripping it down since last summer. I like taking a ARF and making it better. I rebuilt and recoverd this WM Midget last year. I run an OS 1.08 in this one. It was the white version. I relocated the gear and lengthend the vertical fin. Flys very stable.

I just like to have something a bit different, so why not a pink Shoestring.

Are you anywheres, near "Queechee?" I am orignally from NH and a sister lives their on the border

I'm starting to wonder about you.

Sounds like the thame old thong...

Snoop sounds like he is trying to bridge Zagnut and Airgar with his choice of color and undergarment.[sm=bananahead.gif]
