Actually I think it is really quite original -- as I remember the originality came about through a liberal application of Scotch whiskey -- applied of course, to the owner and his friends, not the airplane...

Not many people realised that the scheme was acutally removed after a legal challenge. Lawyers made it clear that the scheme was a clear breach of the trade mark colors and logo used by their client, Tinker Toy(TM).

Screw them!!!... , I'll back you up. Sounds like a good idea. I'd like to see some close-up photos of Pima's collection.

Seriously, tell me what you want to see photos of and I'll see what I can do.

I would love to see some close-ups of the interior of the cockpit in the new Oscar.

Not much to see if I remember right. There was a seat that wasn't even installed right and maybe a control stick but not much more than that. I think one of my coworkers took some photos before we put the plane back together. I'll check with him next week and see if he still has them.

I've been told that some of the stencils on this airplane were not placed correctly!
Miss Suzy Q was hands down the best paint scheme on a racer ever!
