What I think is funny is the way a heli crashes. When a plane crashes it's usually just "boom" and it lies there in pile. But when a heli crashes it flops around on the ground like a chicken with it's head cut off!!!

C'mon. Heli's don't fly. They are just so ugly the earth repels them

RE: Tidying up the Trainer
i think ive decided on colors, Light Yellow (cub Yellow) against a dark green (British racing green 
)
now going back to the previous comments (cant quite remember who said it) im planning to put yellow stripes down the side and along the wings so you can see the planes attitude in the sky (if you see the yellow lines pointing up in the sky, you will know you are going vertical! with orange wingtips, a black canopy/windsheild BUT... i will put little Yellow or orange stripes across the leading edge to show the attitude of the wings and it can easily be seen against the trees when im coming onto approach for landing
essentially the patternwork on the Stuntplane from GTA: San Andreas (some of you elders may not know what im talking about :P)

RE: Tidying up the Trainer
Well, so far so good, i bought one roll of metallic pearl green and one roll of cub yellow, ive covered the wings and fuse in green and am doing the control surfaces, wingtips and the other trim in yellow
ive re-installed all the stuff and just need to put the hinges and the control rods on and give it a test flight
