Patty's new scheme

[flyingklown]

Well $$$ talks Bullsh*& walks.....It all about the almighty dollar...Which blows. Black & Gold is not too bad....That is my School colors so I am used to it.But I liked the red and white better for sure.

[Dantley]

i def like the red scheme better... but i am sure the black one will grow on me. nice video!

[flyingklown]

I cannot hate it. as some of you guys know.I know her..She is he best! I love her!

Not digging it. looks very 70's disco lookin.

NO.. . . no.. and did I mention NO!!!!!

Anyone got the guts to copy that with a covering job???? I call it Prune Purity Black when the covering bubbles. ..

The Extra 300s has such beautiful lines, that the old scheme showed off very nicely. this just makes it look like a big black .. something. .. in the air.

I'll tell ya what, I'd let someone paint me gold and black for the right price.

I understand the almighty $ Prevails., but that just doesn't even come close to the old goodrich colours, blue or red!!
What were they thinking?????

[Matt Chapman]

Yes, the almighty dollar does prevail, and yes the sponsor does have a lot of say in paint design and the like. That said, and I need to be careful here, the "performer" needs to be very careful ro maintain their own image as well. The thing with Patty is everything she has built, become and is know for is gone. Thats too bad IMHO... however, sometimes a complete make over is needed. In her case, i don;t think so... And yes..the black is going to be a terrible color to photograph...and I hate to think of flying that design on an RC plane..
I know that some of you out there won;t like what we have done with the CAP, but remember, a lot of people didn;t like it when we did the splat scheme either. Ithas grown on some, and remained hated by others... and thats all good. It;s what make the flying field fun and ineresting to go to.
The "new" CAP paint is only for this season until we get to design and paint the new paint over the winter. For what we had to work with, I think we did a nice job.
Will the "bullseye" be missed????????????? who knows.
But as one of the posts said, the paint may change, but it is the same pilot, doing the same cool stuff for the same great fans that take the time and pay the $$ to come and support us.
I can't speak for the rest of them, But I really appriciate all the support and friendships I have gained from this great sport and hobby!
The CAP is out of the paint shop Friday.... vinyl next week.... fingers crossed.
Stay warm...

She should have come here for shemes!!! We only have 3000 good ones in the aerotech forums.

Half the problem is that the original was sooooo good that it is hard to follow. The wings are ok on the new one, but the black is so dark.

I don't recall anyone complaining about Sean Tucker's two black schemed Challengers (Randolph/ 1 800-Collect) a few years ago. As a matter of fact, I recall more people saying they liked the black better than the new Oracle all red scheme. ...???

I think it's more of the fact that, "We don't like change". I'll be the first to admit it.

I wasn't a fan of Matt's new scheme in pictures but in person the scheme looks great. Also, the bullseye is very cool in the air in my opinion.

I could watch these folks wring out a plain white plane all day long. The scheme helps with the overall entertainment value but the perfomance in the air is what it's all about.

Heck, I have a U-Can-Do 3D. Very well could be one of the butt-ugliest planes ever made for the hobby, but it flew well and I learned a lot from it so I give it a pass on the overall apperance.
