Re: Ready to Test Fly

That looks a lot like the ship I recently sold. The only difference was mine was Daytona White, no trim on the stab.

Good luck, she looks nice.

Re: Ready to Test Fly

You guys should see her close up. It's DISGUSTING! My plane has a 10' finish (best looked at from 10' away), Ray's has a 1/10" finish! It looks like GLASS close up.
Congratulations on another EXCEPTIONAL job Ray! (The Swift is disgustingly beautiful too).

And he had to do it in the same colors as mine! Now they will always park us together and mine will look WORSE!
As soon as the 45 is flying I guess I will have to recover the 41.
