I realize there is the risk that my earlier message about flying in shirtsleeves might create a boycott on answering my questions. But, I could helpit.I really enjoy reading the thoughtful answers given here. I am looking forsuggested paint schemes. I think I decided on Silver wings and HStab. Thefront part of the fuselage will be natural wood. The cowling will bebrushed aluminum. I was thinking about making the rear fuselage somethinglike a maroon color. Something from the 30s. I am open to suggestions. Mymain question is about all the metal fittings. Would you blend them in withthe surroundings or make a contrasting color?I know this is subjective, but I am looking for ideas. Thanks.Ted________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2003 00:01:52 -0800
