That looks mighty nice Scott! Are the graphics cut at the hinge line for the canopy or are they flexible enough not to be cut ? How much work was it to install the graphics ? Just curious.

Don,
Not sure. It looks like he rolled the vinyl across the hinge and then cut it at each gap in the hinge. I have a rip roaring head cold so I couldn't stay long. The guy that desgined and cut the graphics installed them too so I couldn't begin to tell you about installation.

Spike, Chad, no worries. She is for sale but I'm in no hurry. If it takes two years, oh well. :D

Very Nice ! What a difference in how it looks.
I like the colors chosen too.

You should add the red graphic to the wheel pants.

Quick question, how well does the naca vent on the left side of the fuselage flow air into the cabin ?

Dave,
Thanks first of all. The NACA vent works very well. Maybe not as good as the bottom of the wing but plenty of airflow even in our 100F+ summers here in CenCal.
