I like 'em "BIG"!
Well everyone, it is that time. The time in which if I "HAD" any hair left, I would by now have pulled it all out. The time to select one of the really amazing schemes posted by one of you wonderful gents. You all of been really great and most gracious with your offerings and suggestions. Some of the schemes I had seen before but did not remember they existed. Some of them, I had no idea were out there. Some of them...some of the most amazing schemes I have seen. When I set out on this endeavor, I wanted something different and unique. Something not "everyone" had. Something that would really grab your attention and turn some heads. Something that, well...something that would really stand apart from other rc airplanes. Add to that, this 330sc will probably be my last personal project for awhile. I may look at something middle to real late next year for the 110cs. But for now, I have plenty of flyable planes and really want to just enjoy what I have. Each plane I have holds kind of a special meaning for me. Baby (SD 260) was my first true giant scale that pushed me to keep trying and learning and growing in this great hobby. The Sukhoi is special to me as it is just so much fun to take her out and relax. And on down the line from the Pitts to the new little Baby Yak. The Behemoth Yak is, well... BEHEMOTH. The same goes for my Pilot Edge and all the others not mentioned. Also part of the reason these planes are so special to me is many of you out there supported me and offered suggestions and ideas. Remember the Pitts build last winter? Wow, I couldn't have gotten through that without many of you! And this is what this awesome hobby is all about. Your friends that are really your kindred spirit brothers. Sharing a love and a passion unlike anything else we do in life. Oh yes, I know.... there are those that idly stand by, cast a pointing finger and laugh and poke fun at our "toy" airplanes. For me, they are much more than that.

So from me to all of you that have added to or been a part of my projects...including this Covering Scheme Contest...I can only offer a very huge thank you.

As for acknowledgments, A huge and massive thank you goes out to Mike, (@pawnshopmike). When I first approached him with this idea, He did what everyone that knows him well knew he would do. Offer to contribute to this little contest, (madness) Lol. So between the two of us we put together this little contest for you fellas. Maybe in part to just add a little fun. Maybe in part to bring us a little closer. Maybe in part to share ideas and thoughts and suggestions. Mostly in part to help make our home here at Giant Scale News just a little warmer and friendlier. So please everyone...give Mike a huge hand and a very huge THANK YOU.

And of course to all you that busted your butts on my behalf to help me find the perfect scheme for what I was looking for. What I have selected is exactly what I was looking for. Different, unique, out of the ordinary and most definitely not something that everyone has. Something that looks as good on the flight line as she does wiggling her hinny with her nose in the air. Can't tell you all how much I appreciate the effort and the amount of ideas you tossed at me. Yeah, you too @Jetpainter. Thank you Doug.

There were a few that really "REALLY" had me scratching my head and wondering why I don't have more planes. Some of them were so close of a selection that I almost couldn't decide. However, I did manage to pull one out of the magicians hat. I just hope with all my heart that I can reproduce this scheme and be able to do it justice.

Thanks...big big...."BIG" thanks goes out to @Luchnia.

So there you have it. Sorry it took so long to post this. I started this posting and hit a wrong button and it all disappeared. UGH.... So I had to start over. Oh the joys of getting old. LOL.

Once again, thank you everyone. Each and every one of you that put so much effort into this. Next step for me is start stripping a plane and ordering a bunch of covering.

Congratulations @Luchnia. And thank you for finding that scheme for me. Get hold of Mike. He will get you taken care.
