It looks like a WWII Corsair from the front view. (With a bit of imagination)

I did not get the exact number, but Jeremy said they had sold a lot (like over 70 I think). Pretty good for a brand new design!

Mike I believe you hit the nail on the head. Hellcat it is. Now you've got me thinking about paint jobs.

I've thought about doing something different, maybe painting my Sonex like a Bf-109. We could have a faux warbird airshow!

Here's what I'm considering (among many others, so hard to choose): Image

Speaking of which,does anyone know of a computer program for playing with paint schemes on an actual 3 view of the Onex /Sonex/etc.? http://airpigz.squarespace.com/storage/ ... e-Blue.jpg

This had to have been done using such a program.Just imagine the possibilities :o

That's a very complex paint scheme...but I have to say it's also pretty damn ugly (IMO of course). ;)

You must have picked up on the airpigz in the url.It's not a design I would pick but I wouldn't insult a pig ;)

You can try this link. I haven't tried the program but it looks promising. They do have a program for the Sonex.

Looks like a good program Dan but unfortunately I don't have Windows.
