Hey I don't mind a bit.
I was once told the ultimate form of tribute is to copy or emulate someone else's ideas.
Besides like I said good taste!
My color scheme has evolved to suit me and my flying style. The colors and the change in colors have importance to me. Besides My scheme was originally based on CPLR's Topline back in 97' and the Alliance in 99'.
I changed the colors and some of the shapes a little to suit me and my style.

Thanks Troy,I think the hardest part of your design : cutting and prepare of the wing colour film as a CPLR's design..I use ORACOVER film but later I understand that ORASTICK ( it stick itself then I use iron) much easier for it... Which type of covering material you use it??
Also please have a look to my new post ( best fuel for ys dz?)... as you always use ys dz engines..I want to learn your fuel selection?
Thanks
Oscar

Here are some pictures of my Aries. This is my first pattern plane. I built it from a kit produced by www.AeroSlave.com. Aries #2 is on the workbench now.

I use all Ultracote....same material as Oracover in the non-USA markets.
They are separate pieces all over wood with about 1/8" overlap everywhere...It ends up being a little more overlap in some places but min of about 1/8"....Its all the std iron on material and none of it is the sticky back stuff.
Fuel for a DZ
Cool Power 30% Heli Pro

The Defiant is my own design..
Fuse: 78"
Wingspan: 76"
Power: YS140L
weight: 10 pounds 6oz.
I have molds for the fuselage and cut my own wings and stab (foam, balsa covered) which are on carbon tubes. The fuselage is Carbon, kevlar, and foam.
The Defiant pictured is the first out of my molds that I flew in Advanced this season. I'm happy with its performance as it helped me do well this year. (snaps very well)
I'm currently in the finish stage of a second that will have a slightly smaller wing with a thicker and wider stab. It will be interesting to see how it compares..
If you have other questions feel free to inquire, thanks for your interest
