Before and after
Finally got the airplane painted. I am going to pick it up from the paint shop in the morning. These photos are the results of 7 years of work. When I bought the airplane in 06 I ended up having to have the engine majored and that was my paint fund. Slowly but surely I have gotten it where I am happy with it. I tell people its like peeling an onion, once you start there is no stopping.

Bill:
It looks great. I am glad you posted the photo as I would have thought there was a NEW 170 at Newnan.
Can wait to see it.

Re: Before and after
I thought when repainting an aircraft the part 43 regs state that you must conform to the visibility requirements much like your old aircraft paint job Yes or No?

Not sure about part 43 but part 45.29 1 iv gives the size requirements and that refers antiques to part 45.22 b and that sayscanav8 wrote:I thought when repainting an aircraft the part 43 regs state that you must conform to the visibility requirements much like your old aircraft paint job Yes or No?

Re: Before and after
If you are talking about 10" numbers rather than the 2" numbers, no. Our aircraft are grandfathered allowing just the 2" numbers. However there are some restrictions where they can be operated with 2" numbers. I believe 10" numbers have to be displayed to enter Canada and a ADIZ.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!

I never noticed that in that photo. It's there but it looks like it is in the flaps 10 position and it blends into the rudder peddles.johneeb wrote:Bill looks great! I do wonder why I cannot see your flap handle?
