Vlad,
it is Rust-oleum Hammered paint designed as high temperature resistant and extremly durable. Usable on gear and cowling interior.

Ben,

Gorgeous airplane...just beautiful! Great colors and design...and the numbers look very cool!

Nice job to you and Denis!!

And speaking of numbers, I notice you have a race number already on the wing! Hope to see you at a SARL event soon!

Happy flying, and very nice job!

Cheers,
Bob

Hey Bob,
I checked out the SARL link. That's some cool stuff. I need to sign up for that... (wife says, no racing!) I'll keep working on her. Thanks for your comments!

Default Negotiating Ammo...

Ben,

One might not call it a race, but rather a rally!

In fact a few of the races (ooops) are named rallies (Great Canadian Air Rally). In many ways, its a X-C to a fun BBQ, followed by a 30-45 minute low-level navigation exercise, followed by another BBQ (with much lying, er, embelleshment and story-telling, going on)!

FWIW, we start fastest to slowest, which minimizes passing, and there are strong "gentlemen's" rules about passing when it does happen. As serious as the racers may be about getting speed out of the plane and flying a good course, the fun factor is a huge component, the folks are really nice, and a lot of spouses and families join in!

But I don't want to turn your New Paint RV Grin thread into a commercial...just sayin' you and your bride would be very welcome, and would have a good time!

Oh, and I think the gold paint is awesome...kinda like Rare Bear's original gold and white (and it is Race 77!)

Cheers,
Bob

Wow, Ben...congratulations! It really looks terrific---great concept and terrific execution. Mine is down now for a combination of it's first annual, a major instrument panel rework, and final painting. It'll be a couple of months yet.

Hope to see you at Sun n Fun next year and a chance to see it in person. Looks like some very nice touches there...

Welcome to the flying club, take it easy and enjoy. I had hoped to make a short trip today with our RV-10 but had to cancel due to freezing rain at destination. Took my seven year old neice for a local hop in the SuperCub instead.
Congratulations Ron
