Jonathan @ PlaneSchemers is wrapping up my design ... I'll post it when I get the final :D

I've been speaking with Jonathan and will be using his shop. I'll be very interested to hear the details of your experience with his design and painting services.

If I know Jonathan, it will look gorgeous! Can't wait to see what it will look like.

Ken, I just got mine painted by Jonathan. He does outstanding work. I have been very pleased. I've had two planes painted by Jonathan. A Cirrus and my RV-8. I am considering joining the rank of repeat offenders and should I do so, I'll have Jonathan paint that one too.

Here are pix of both planes that Jonathan painted:

Let's see, I dropped my plane off at Jonathan's on March 30th and flew it home June 19th. And my scheme was finalized. It might be a little longer than 6 weeks...just sayin', YMMV and all that!

I'm painting my own plane and it's an endless job. I console myself that it will cost me less than $1,000...that is if I ever get it done.

Hi Mark,

Gorgeous RV-8!! I'm also partial to eye-catching paint schemes (see pic of my old -8 below) and am already looking forward to working with Jonathan on something neat for my -14A.

I'm still some ways out, as I'm hoping to fly toward the end of next year, but I'll be staying in touch with him as my build progresses.
