Just tryin to save you any possible grief.
Chrome yellow to me is on the right of the picture and Cub is on the left.
The right hand side has really bad hiding power. You can see all the wood grain and everything but the cub yellow covers most surface discoloration.

I got the Fiskars one, has a retractable blade and blades are also replaceable. On the self-healing cutting board (or some smooth plywood) it easily cuts four layers of ultracote with the backing paper still on It does not really like the ultracote with the backer already removed though......

Thanks Pete, I got 'er figured out!!!

I worked on covering all the corners, end caps and TE's of the wings, stabs etc. last night. Also made templates for the covering for all the other flat surfaces so I'm headed home to work on that some tonight.

It was nice so I headed out for a couple of flights and ended up tossing my Heli into the ground.....those darn things are just evil.....EVIL I tell you!

And the winner for most generic color scheme of the building season Going to spend some time today laying out graphics and may cut a few up on the vinyl cutter tonight to see how they look. Wife is still saying cub yellow and green, but I'm leaning towards yellow and red for stripes..

Yellow and red makes me think of mcdonalds I think it will look good with any combination of those colors though.

I'm lovin it !!!
Sorry couldn't help myself

Terry it looks great. I for one live a solid platform to start my design on. I think a lot of the planes on the market now a days are to over done. So it leaves no room for the imagination to play lol. That is why when I decide on a design for the 55%er I left it solid yellow top and solid black bottom with the swoosh down the side. Will look good and the air and I will have plenty of room to add what I want.

My thoughts exactly, I've got some ARF's that are pretty wild and I'd like something a little more tame.

Put a Cox .049 on it........that'll make it tame
