I previously posted a pic of this plane in the pre-painting stage. Here it is painted. Final weight is 66 ounces. Power a GMA/Jett .51. First (and second) flights are promising. Finish is Sig dope. Thanks for looking. 8)

Pete,
Looks great. Good job.

Thanks Gordan, I appreciate the compliment. 8)

Nice work, Pete. I love the subtle asymmetry in the wing paint schemes.

Very Nice!

Looks great! Not overdone, clean, classy scheme. y1

Looks sweet, Pete. I like the colors. Should be a great plane for you. Don't fly into any cactus.

Whoa there, Pete! That thing came out awesome! 66 ozs is less that I *thought* it was going to be. How 'bout another pic or two. Let's see the whole thing.
Super job, brother!

Very nice Pete, hope you bring it to the Palmer. I would really like to see it fly.

Left side - Thanks for asking! ;D

And the vital under-belly. 8)

Doggone it Pete, how do you keep doing this? You make some of us feel so ... inadequate.
I especially like the fact that you discarded the Insignia White background base color and went with something truly unique and interesting. Kinda like a 2-tone color scheme on a 60's Pontiac or something. Vurry nice!

More like a 3-tone color scheme. There's at least three different blue colors, plus trim. Impressive indeed.

Hi Clint, I know that it looks like three shades of blue but actually it is only two. Must be a trick of the light reflection. But you have given me an idea for the next one... 8)

It looks great Pete!!!!!!!!!! I agree with the others about the 2 tone blue as a base color, gives it a classy feel!

sweet!

Very nice !

Weight: 65 ounces (just removed an ounce of nose weight). Prop: An old Brian Eather 11 1.2 x ?? 3 blade. It will be replaced the next flight as I need to get lap times up and could use a bit more vertical performance. I'd like to retro-fit a .61 but the .51 has a small case and nothing else easily fits so it stays for now anyway. 8)

I just noticed...
You spelled "Bukkanear" wrong.

I like it too, Pete. Sorry to be tardy with the post, but the confuser's been down for about 3 weeks now...the cable modem "done blowed up", and my computer guru went AWOL about the same time.
The 2-tone blue looks nice with the trim colors. The "bump" on the right wing is an interesting feature, and I am wondering how you came up with the idea? Maybe the reflection of a sand dune in a glassy smooth pond? LL~
A Kokopelli figure on the fin would be good. Good luck and good flying need the right mojo... H^^ Steve

Hi Steve, it's actually about the 3rd plane I've done in these colors, 5th with similar trim scheme. The "bump" on the wing came about when I decided I needed something to give an otherwise simple color scheme a little "pop". The flash on the fuselage was inspired by some tropical fish I saw. I call it a "guppy spot". I don't like painting tail sections so that is the explanation of the solid tail surfaces. Kokapelli figure a great idea, you may see it. Attached Vector photo another version of same scheme. Guppy spot is usually Diana Cream and Orange. 8)

I like it and it is like your signature. It is you. H^^
