Hello Larry,

Thanks for the pictures, they will be helpful.

I would love to paint my plane a gorgeous Mercedes color..."Arabian
Grey" from the mid 60's with a few contrasting stripes thrown in for
good measure but conventional wisdom screams "stay with white".
Obviously you disagree.

Would you do red again and what is the downside, practically speaking?

By the way, the very best BBQ to be had is by invitation only and only
to Lancair pilots, here in Hamilton, Mass.
