This Bulldog,

I agree with mike, keep it the way it is, like the photo you just posted, or if unless you have a wild hare.....

Quick tip, maybe after you upload the picture, add it as a thumbnail or full image for the detailed pics. Makes it a little easier to see.

How about causing some head scratching by throwing "Ultimate" all over it.

I am posting as a thumbnail, click on it and it will enlarge, actually will enlarge three times.

Ok guys, five like's on the covered bird but no opinion as to carry on or go with a different theme? Will be back at it tomorrow so what ya'll say?

Since you asked, my vote is for Bulldog I.

I saw somewhere the other day where someone mentioned the fuel line tailwheel spring thing but now I can't find it. I did one years ago but don't remember how and thought I would shortcut how to do it again. Does anyone have such and if so could you post it for me?

I installed my J&J tailwheel on my Hangar 9 Extra 300X yesterday. I'll probably change the springs sooner or later. The ones that were on it were too short, and these were all I had laying around.
One of the reasons I wanted to change the tailwheel is the tail seemed really bouncy when taxiing lately. It turns out the Hangar 9 carbon fiber spring was broken and delaminating.

Woah...dude. Beautiful. Really! So regarding the springs... I tried and I tried and I tired until I was so freaking furious to keep springs just right on my planes. Baby ate springs like they were going out of style. The Sukhoi simply would not turn correctly. And the Behemoth Yak? Yeah, not happening. I changed over to the nitro fuel tubing and zip tie method. Have not had one single issue. No matter if it is my Pilot Edge at 29 pounds or the Behemoth Yak at 53ish (fuel tank full), they all perform and steer beautifully. Don't think I will ever go back to springs, (if I can help it) again.

Thanks Rob, that would be Ultra cote.
Well here it is with the wings and all flying wires done. Only four things left to do, apply the stripping, hook up the tailwheel, go back and double check all fasteners. The forth is the graphics but I am not sure I want to put all the Bulldog logo's on it, not sure it is up to par enough. What do you guys think, finish it up as the dog or something else. If something else offer up an opinion to a scheme, something like Banana's, submarine, or even just as it is.

Ok need to know how do you paint black on the Ultracote. I have tried and failed miserably.

I vote Bulldog.

The only paint on the covering is the tips of the ele/stab, but the Stits seems to stick to it pretty good.

Thanks @stangflyer for the pic. So two says the dog so the dog it will be.

Do you sand or do anything to prepare the covering before you paint it.
