30% Edge 540 III Trim scheme changes
Just out of curiosity, is it possible to get the 30% Edge III without the purple, pink, and yellow "rainbows" on the wings, fuse, and stab? IMHO it would GREATLY improve the looks of the plane. If not, are the "rainbows" put over the base white or are they directly on the wood? I'd rather not have to go the route of the ARC version II if possible.
Thanks, Chad |

Re: 30% Edge 540 III Trim scheme changes
The rainbows come right off. The only bare wood is on the leading edge of the wing. I had to put smalle pieces of white down before adding the checkers. Bad Brad Graphics did the checkers and has the sizes you need.

Re: 30% Edge 540 III Trim scheme changes
That's my favorite so far. All I did on mine was put a matching blue where the rainbows were. It looked great.

Re: 30% Edge 540 III Trim scheme changes
Very nice work. I like the Castrol scheme. I just wish manufactures would make these scale planes look more like scale planes instead of toys. Like what PAU did with their Sukhoi. Although they are just toys when it comes down to it, but still!

Re: 30% Edge 540 III Trim scheme changes
I know Red Bull is a real stickler when in comes to using their name.In fact I think there has been cases where their name was used on model aircraft and they made them remove it.Comp ARF had a Extra with a Red Bull scheme on it a few years back but even that was short lived. I also have a Red Bull Edge in the Kirby Chambliss scheme.Could they make me remove the name?Probably. The way I see it it's free advertising so what's the big deal? Right? But unfortunately there are legalities.

Re: 30% Edge 540 III Trim scheme changes
Hey JoeAirPort - I did steal your trim scheme. Saw the pictures a few years ago & thought that is what mine should look like too. The blue oracover trim looks like it was meant to be there & it is a neat distinctive scheme.... I like it!
