Josh,

Looks pretty good. The chord of the wing is too long, making it look too big for the fuselage. The line where the trailing edge of the wing meets the leading edge of the flap needs to be lined up with the vertical line at the rear corner of the canopy. Also, the perspective of the aileron makes it look like it has a wider chord than the flap.

Small nit-picks, I know. Overall a nice look though.

There seems to be a lot of airplane and less memorial in these examples. I'm not too good with a computer but look at the attachment.
You can still see the N number, know it's the tail of a Sonex, add the word or a date if you like etc...
It's more memorial and less plane.
What do you think?

Here is a new rendition. This one has a much smaller wing, narrower root, refined canopy, etc.

I have to agree John. That, and if the idea is to put these on our planes, I don't see why there needs to be a plane as part of the sticker at all. Our rides represent the aircraft all by themselves.

I think this thread speaks volumes...

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2084

...and a simple "thumbs up" with the initials inside and a pendant with the N number underneath would capture the essence.

Whipped this up on a sticker site to give an idea of what I'm talking about...

Working with Glenn's idea, I did this quick edit to the tail of N123SX.
Just throwing ideas which may combine the previous ones. But I am not tied to anything, so whatever you guys want. :D
