Lots of things to learn and to figure out - but here she is - Bouncin' Betty.
It's a completely fictional repaint of my favourite airplane and a very personal ride too.
My first roll out after I installed the L4 in 2010 was a complete desaster.
She did nothing but bouncing around on the runway, thus the name.
However, Mike at Flight Replicas offered a top notch support and disappointment became love with that little bird. (Thank you again, Mike)
That very day, I decided to try a repaint on her sometime.
First steps are eventually done but now I have to learn how to get the lettering more crisp and the dull paintwork also need some polishing.
After I got some more experience, I would like to paint Supercub L-18 in the colors of the first airplanes young German Air Force started with in 1956.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to switch the two-pilots crew from the Flight Replicas WWII L-4 to the L-18? Those guys would make a good teacher-student team.
