Thanks for looking.

Cool shots Larry
Neat repaint 8-)

Thanks Chuck.

Cool! Blends right in with the trees and brush. Perfect blind for duck hunting.

Uhhh.  Errr.  Ahemmm.  Ain't there s'posed to be airplanes in screenies? :-?

The flying shrub is sorta cool and all, but I'm jus' sayin'.



Cool camo job! 8-)

L.T. I have some camoware that look exactly like your very cool repaint. More more please...excuse me for being so demanding, Pepe!

Thanks Greg.

Awesome paint-job! Only thing I don't understand on such a perfectly camouflaged plane, why destroy the camouflage effect with a bright red prop cone?? That kinda sticks out against most trees/forests doesn't it?

Because the camo is advertising the guide service, not actually trying to camouflage the aircraft.

Well that one is certainly different Larry...

I like the shots and only have one little comment.

When beaching the aircraft as in shot number three (3) try to remember to raise the Water Rudders.

Makes for an easier push off and they won't get damaged as easily.

If at all possible beach the aircraft tail in as there is a hand hold just below the rudder on the fin that will help you drag the aircraft onto the beach and aids in lifting the rear part of the floats.

Calm water which you are showing makes beaching easy and there is always the paddle attached to the floats to assist.

When beaching tail first in rough water the aviator will use everything at their disposal.
