The planes get bigger, but some things never change!

Something like this?? I don't know if I like the orange between the yellow and purple- A simple fade would be better, or maybe a swoop with the black and white checkers...

Looks Awesome! I like Mopars so I vote for the Silver liquid metal/Blue scheme as used on their Funnycar. Smokin Joes is cool too.

Well, my bad luck struck again for my 85. Had a few great flights really banging on the sticks and on my final, noticed the engine would not idle down. Landed and after we all dug into it, the engine case had a crack straight threw it. So, Im sure Da will take care of it. The engine just came back with a replaced cylinder head gasket last week.

I know how you feel. Seems like I have two full-time jobs right now...

Can't wait to see her in action here in a few weeks.

I just talked to Matt and he was getting ready to catch his flight....one might say he seemed a little excited to get down there and see you, the 55% and meet to rest of your crew!

FYI - I wouldn't let him touch anything and check his pockets before he leaves your shop

Cool ! Full scale ! The only one you need to own. I went through three 40% planes just this year alone, one for dead stick while hovering, one for broken wing, and one for just pilot error...
