After a 3 month break, I realized that flying season is coming fast and finally got back on it. I want to thank Tony Russo for helping me out with the paint match on the Ultracote Pearl Red and my buddy Eric at Premier Motorsports for shooting the five colors on the cowl and hatch today. Time to cover the wings, stabs and go flying. Will keep you updated

Nice looking plane, I can see the Edge in the background.

**cbk07** · 03-09-2007, 09:00 PM

Thanks Elie....the Edge makes this look like a miniature toy airplane. I am still really looking forward to getting this in the air as the 260 is my favorite airframe and I am guessing it will fly awesome. Looks like spring is almost here.....55 degrees by Sunday. See you at the field

Craig,

The plane looks great. If you had mentioned those colors to me I would never have imagined that the plane would look as awesome as it does. Great job.

Tony

**cbk07** · 03-09-2007, 09:32 PM

Thank you Tony, I am happy with it too

How are you enjoying that jet??? Sounds like alot of fun. Looks like our weather is finally turning. When you get home, hopefully it will be warm enough for you to maiden that new Huff built Carden 260!! Talk to you soon, Craig

Going flying Sunday

Is the hill clear? If so, ill head up there if you guys are flying. Otherwise, I was gonna go to Salem or Woodstock. I have been itching to go flying... 55 is warm enough for me.

Is the snow melted up there by you Tank? If it is I might have to come visit.

**TheTank** · 03-10-2007, 10:06 AM

No snow here dude... Most we ever got was like 4", that melted the next day.

**cbk07** · 03-10-2007, 10:12 AM

I still have 2" in my front yard. Hopefully someone will go out to the hill and see what it looks like

I love your scheme. Love the planes that stand out in a crowd. Yours definitely will.

Thank you. I more or less copied the scheme from Buddy and Sylvester Hale. I saw their 35% Extra at the Nall a couple of years ago and wanted to do something similar ever since I saw it.

SUPERFLYJAY · 03-10-2007, 03:44 PM

**cbk07** · 03-10-2007, 04:24 PM

Thanks King....I had heard you guys were converting Tony! He called Wednesday night and all he wanted to talk about was jets, jets, jets (lol)
