I like the fuse on the first one better, and the wing on the second, but I would loose the checkers.

Another idea might be to do the sunburst on the wing. You do them back at a 45 or so. Start close to the center leading edge and go to the rear tip with one color in front, and then use 3 or 4 colors in a burst the rest of the way in. Maybe something like this.

Sorry for the really crude drawing. I don't work the paint programs at all.

Default focus

Dragos,
It's easy to come up with ideas, the hard part is reading your mind. From the looks of it, you're heading towards a scale look like Patty Wagstaff's plane or something of that nature. Is that what you want or would you like something sassier or hot rod-ish (flames and checkered flags) or maybe something with a brand theme like NASCAR or Pepsi. Give us a little focus and we'll give you better ideas. You can go as deep as you want into the design world. Few return unscathed. Anyways, hope I haven't complicated things for you.

And why is it that every aerobatic plane I see these days has straight line graphics??

I'm not wild about the design below, but maybe it will make you think.

I had the same delema last year trying to come up with something for my 27% extra. I have several designs on my computer at work. Send me a PM on Monday to remind me and I'll post them.
