This cub belonged my long time friend and flying mentor.                            ...                            Landing runway 7 at McGrath, AK.                            ...                            I hadn't realized how many cuss words were involved in repainting  Smiley.

Thanks Doug - belonged to the guy I visited in Alaska last fall.  Hanging in there - 87 and counting.  The scenery is near or on the McGrath airport - 187 kt on the ANC 283R.  That's where I learned to fly, a good chunk of my lifetime ago  Smiley.

Very nice, especially for a first try.  Smiley
Unfortunately, the cuss words do not lessen in frequency with experience, at least in my experience they don't.  Roll Eyes
Sooner or later, you will try one that was not designed with your paint scheme in mind. You will discover words you did not know you knew.  Grin

Oh yeah, one more thing. Repainting is.......

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Hopefully, all I'm interested in are models I've either flown, owned or those of friends.  So far, in FSX, that's not many.
