So while I wait for the empennage to arrive (turns out the emp shipping estimates are more like 4 weeks than 2 weeks), I am thinking back to all the old posts I made during the RV-7 build about paint ideas.

  The bottom line is that I still really like where I ended up back in 2012. Sometime in the future, I’ll mess around with the paint program again and see if I can’t project this onto an RV-8.
