A different look

[Nick Kennedy[_3_]]

Did anyone else notice that cool as hell paintjob on that ASG32Mi For Sale on Wings and Wheels?
That is Nice.
I'd love for my plane to look like THAT!
Plain white is so boring.

Plain white is SO much more visible tho...

It reminds me of an IS-28

That's a pretty sweet looking paint job but red would be more visible
than gray.Â* But...Â* I think the owner was going for good looks rather
than visibility and he achieved that goal.

I am sure they would love to have your order.

I've got quite a bit of time in Tom Bjork's ASH-30mi.Â* And while these
beautiful super ships have performance advantages all over my Stemme,
they just can't compare to the pleasure of flying my big boat with a
friend or loved one right next to me.Â* And before I'd spend the cash for
such a super paint job, I'd have to spend the time to clean the poor
thing up.Â* It's too cold now in the mountains of New Mexico and, when it
warms up, I'll be spending my time flying! :-D

Possibly, the gray is also for temperature reasons - to keep the skin cooler,
compared a darker color.

Priced for immediate sale at 280K euro. Combine that with a weak euro,
and it could be yours.

Would be interesting to know why it's up for sale less than a year after
it was built. Spent more time in the paint booth than in the air.

Nick,

I wanted something other than white too. I went with an off white cream with dark blue trim.

On a sunny day run your hand over the paint /white interface and
feel the temperature difference.

If you had ever been there when some one couldn't close the canopy
because of the expansion differences you wouldn't risk a colour
anywhere near the cockpit.

Wouldn't the higher temperature cause by the color expand the cockpit, and make it
easier to latch the canopy?

Not sure why the canopy will not lock but I have seen it happen too
often for it to be a myth.
I think the grp shrinks with heat and the canopy expands

But you can defiantly feel the temperature difference between colour
and white

This does happen quite often. Not so sure about paint, but a friend of mine owns an Arcus T. On a hot day, he uses a bucket of water and a towel to lower the temperature of the canopy, or else it won't close.

That is a very nice ride you got there!
Nothing like a little style to brighten your day!

GRP expands with temperature. Carbon fibre shrinks.
