Hello,
Please see the photo attached.
Does anybody recognize this Stiletto painting scheme?
If yes, please contact me at matt.piatkowski@gmail.com and I will explain why I am suddenly interested in THIS particular stunt plane.
Happy Circular Flying,

The model on the photo maybe not Stiletto or, if it is, it has been modified.

Hi Ty,
Thank you for the details.
My F2B friends in Poland are organizing the "vintage" or, how they call it "retro stunt fly-in" and Stiletto will participate.
The guy who contacted me, wanted to know the painting scheme, showing the division lines between (sheet metal) panels, like on the Stiletto photo I have found.

Regards,
M

Why is the picture so tiny? I can see that the color scheme is basically blue & white, and it has a 3 blade propeller. Taking a picture on grass background was ok with film, but when done with digital, too much detail (i.e., individual blades of grass) makes the file size huge & results are fubar.   y1 Steve
