OK, this might be a bit of a delayed reaction but...
I love the pic of Ron's Fly Baby with the speed mods :-)
Good thing I wasn't drinking when I saw it!
Isn't that great? Some guys have way too much time to play with
Photoshop.... ;-)
One thing I forgot to mention. My airplane has a baggage door in the
turtledeck, right behind the pilot's shoulders. Several years back, I
replaced the blank piece of wood with a "sandwich" of 1/8" ply and lexan.
I can print out banners using my ink jet and install them in a matter of
minutes. I usually design a new one every year for the Arlington Fly-In.
My original door was a pinball-game backplane (from the famous Bally game,
"Fly Baby", complete with coin slot and score counters :-). The second was
a Fly Baby 40th Anniversary one. The one for last year features the
"supersonic" Fly Baby:
