It's standing still and looks like it's going fast.

That is now my favorite A model paint scheme I have seen on any RV! Very nice...

What a beauty, I have been looking to do a very similar paint scheme, I love the look of the silver and red. Any numbers as far as CG and weight change?

Stunning!

The red plus the checkers on the tail will be good for at least 5 extra knots too!

Sweet! I know where I will be getting my aircraft painted when the time comes. Brad I have access to an L-19 for some air-to-air photos and Doug wants to get some shots of his RV-7. Give me a call.

Thanks everyone! I'm still super excited about how it came out. The only problem is that now I find myself thinking about what to build next on those bad weather days when I can't fly this one :-)

I suppose I should ask what everyone here uses to wash their aircraft after it's been painted? The folks at Midwest gave me some suggestions on what to use (and what not to use - no more mineral spirits for cleaning the oil off the belly :-) but I'm wondering what everyone else uses?
