Title: VE Paint Scheme
Post by: spg_76013 on May 27, 2007, 09:52:17 PM
Hi All -
This is my first post to this forum. Attached are two pix of my recently-painted VE fuselage, and a picture of my planned "shuttle-esqe" paint scheme. (I've posted these on the other canard forums, FYI)
We already had first engine start (C-85), and have installed a starter, alternator and battery and a basic VFR panel. Hope to start taxi tests later this summer.
Regards, Sean Gillen Arlington, Texas

Two comments :
1) Don't forget to keep all dark colors to the underside. Burt was pretty specific about the heat generated by dark colors and the resulting damage to the fiberglass structure. I would think this would be especially woesome in Texas ! !
2) BTW, . . .I didn't know they had grass in Texas. I thought it was all tumbleweeds ! !
