As of today, I have 51 hours in my -6 since I purchased it in February, and I am loving it! This weekend, I was in Tennessee, Mississippi, and back to Florida..
Recently, I got to add the "vanity" N-number I had reserved a few months ago, and then wanted to do something different. After discussion with Scott Farnsworth of AircraftWraps, I elected to have them create a checkerboard rudder. But, I didn't just want one that was the typical 2-color checkerboard, so we planned one with graduated colors, the front squares matching the plane's dark blue and gray paint....and then fading both to lighter blues and grays as the squares go rearward.
Here's the way the tail looked after I added my new N-number earlier this week:
Here's one of the sheets of the 3M "Controltac Graphic Marking System" material that Scott's folks had printed up before my arrival there Friday morning:
One of AircraftWraps' craftsmen, finishing the application of the wrap:
Look at the attention to detail on the rudder trim piece:
And, here's the happy owner (me!):
I think it even made me faster on the takeoff! (Well, OK, not really faster -- but I look cooler!)
THANK YOU, Scott Farnsworth and AircraftWraps!
