Just got to share this, I received the sponsor logos Gary at Decal-It made. WOW! These are perfect, I mean that literally. I can't wait to get back and paint the fuse so I can apply these, as well as that eagle head.
Again Gary at Decal-It did a superb job with these logos.

Is this the star one you are speaking of? And I don't know what you mean by the B/W oval one, unless it is this one. And if there is anything you want to see just let me know, if I have it lol I will share it.

In case you can't tell the I-fly and star goes on the top rear of the canopy. The ICAS logos goes on the hand rest, both sides, and the fuel tank. And there are numerous marking that changed placements, such as the eagle engines moved from the fuse to the spinner and then back again and also in both positions. It all depends on the given point in time. I will post a few with shots of some that went away. Such as the number 7 and the Ausonio logo.

If I remember correctly that Pitts (along with one other) was hanging in New York City in some building. They were sold after a period of a few years.
Both of them were almost new PItts S-1T (Factory Built Certified) just can't remember why they were hanging up in a building for so long.....?

Referring to post# 2932, I could`nt agree with you more............ I did a color scheme of Jane Wickers Stearman for Realflight before her tragic accident....I wanted to delete the file/color scheme from the swap pages, but thought it best to leave it in memory of her

Its amazing the pilot walked away from that... the plane can always be replaced.
What a gorgeous paint scheme it had... I take it acerc, your 46% scale will be sporting that same paint scheme (a tribute to this one)?

My club had it's monthly meeting today. And I was just informed that they voted me a lifetime membership for the previous 2-1/2 years of mowing I did voluntarily. What a great club!

They were paying $3600 a year before I volunteered. Currently there are two other volunteers carrying on until I return, so they hope. And I probably will when this bird, and the trailer, is finished. Right now I just don't have the time. It takes seven hours to mow at one time, which is how I prefer to do it.
