Kevin
Congrats, I always enjoy your updates, no bs, no false claims. no marketing gimmicks, just airplane facts.

Uhhh..........you refering to that little E-Clips jet they keep talking about?

Re: NXT #42 gettin' close!

Off topic: just out of curiosity, does the NXT design include an electric yaw damper, a-la PA-46?

The it does not include one. With new trim system that comes with the kit I don't know it is needed??

Re: NXT #42 gettin' close!

Are you going to repaint her with the same paint scheme, or has this extra time with her given you a new look for her?

I am pretty happy with the scheme the way it was but I have a few that I am thinking about:::::

Oh, come on Dash! Where's your sense of adventure? I was thinking the Shark scheme (center right) would look freaking awesome cruising around the pylons.

THATs the one, you know......the same one with bad wing fittings, cracked windshields and no approved instruments!

Re: NXT #42 gettin' close!

The paint job that was on it looked amazing! If you change it though, my vote is for the red white and grey scheme in the bottom left corner.

Re: NXT #42 gettin' close!

Kevin, Thanks for the update. Which ever paint scheme you choose, she will look awsome. I can't really get a good look at the one on the lower right, but they are all pretty cool. And yes i agree so far that the red,white & grey on the lower left is my #1 choice.

Dave

p.s. Maybe Dasher could paint her's with the shark scheme??? j/k

Don't worry. It'll get certified, and be a neat little airplane.

No one can come close to bad numbers and certification graft that accompanied the fabulous McDonnell Douglas MD-80. Two hull losses in the certification process and it continues to have icing related problems of the wing center section to this day (25 years later)!

After 10,000 hours flying it, I still hate it...

AMR promises to replace it post hast! All 360 something of them. Three new 737's are scheduled for delivery, in 2009!

Oh man, that Shark scheme is too good to pass up. It there was ever an aircraft with a shape that lends itself to a shark, the NXT is it. Its perfect. As pretty as the last one was, it was a little soft. What I mean is that it didn't "strike fear in the hearts of men". The shark looks so good, it's down right scary.
