RE: Graphics for ARF
Basic white airplanes such as the Sig Kadel LT-40 ARF are hard to see in the air. ARF manufacturers should be more concerned with delivering an easy to see airplane rather than designs which do little more than advertise the model.
I have a Kadet LT-40 ARF. I flew it white once - Red airplanes are much easier to see than white and so I lightly sanded, rubbed with acetone and painted the top and sides of the fuse with Dupli-Color Bright Red automotive rattle can from Shucks. I left the bottom of the fuse white. The top of the wing and stab is three color star burst - red paint, white and blue monokote. The bottom of the wings and stab is blue monokote.
Good luck with your plane and all the best.

Exactly, I have the ARF too and have not put the decals on it yet so its all white. The stock decals are cheesey and I dont want mine to look like all the other ones at the club.
Spray paint eh.....hmm...

RE: Graphics for ARF
cdw21 I attempted to return PM but I see nothing in my PM Sent folder. I posted a pic of my Kadet color scheme in my gallery. It's a crummy cell phone picture but if you click on it for full size you'll get the basic idea of what I did.
