nice, will be a bit hard to see at low altitude. can't wait to fly it.

got a question, the lines on the wing, are those maintenance or part of the skin?

Thanks, man.  Much appreciated. 

My understanding is these are dive angle markings.    Flying parallel to the target you dive at the angle corresponding to the line the target crosses.

Well, I hope my lines are in the correct spots!  Lol

If I dig up any info on the technique I'll post it.

Thanks you guys.  Yeah, it was a lot of fun working as a group on it.

Waltz, thanks for the images you provided.  They helped a ton in plugging most of the gaps Lyric and I were looking at.

The research you guys did on this one is impressive - and it is a great looking skin to boot.

Great find Lyric!

I just want to say I saw a rabbit in the original thread. :D

If i look long enough i see this Houston liquor store mascot, but wearing pants. I think the pixelation is a blessing in this case.
