must feel great knowing someone else can spend their time doing this. i am still debating doing it myself...i got my last skin on so its put up or shut up for me.... if it was steel id do mine no questions, but man, alu @200 mph in a rainstorm....you better have your crap together.

hope it turns out well.

I just know a pro will do a much better job than I will.

Nice write up Scott. The views you guys have out there are so beautiful. Ill have to get the RV out there if / when I ever get it flying *sigh*

Good job.

Spike

I agree Spike! Flying out west is just beautiful!

That black Lambo was a bit dusty...if they aren't using it, tell 'em to send it to me, I'll clean it up and use it!

Great shots Scott, glad the trip went without major issues. You even got to ride home in a RV.

Are your graphics ready to be put on when the paint is cured enough ?

No, I'm still trying to find some good vinyl strips to put down the sides. I'd also like to spruce up the wings a bit. I've looked on a couple of marine graphics sites that have some promising designs but I haven't fallen in love with any particular design.

Anybody know of any good places that have either ready to stick on graphics or can make them custom? Not interested in wild flame jobs or anything like that. Just some nice looking accent stripes.

BTW, glad y'all liked those western landscapes. I just can't help but think how pointy they are. If I lost my engine for any stupid reason... ugh. I hate to think about it.
