Thanks Ron !I just grabbed the beta thank you and she flies great
I was looking at the star.....To me, it looks a little low, so I did a quick change just to give you an idea/option to try out, of coarse you could change it up a little, (I`m thinking move it forward just a tad.. ??). It ain`t perfect, but you get the idea....I reworked the fuselage side stripe. The original stripe was patterned after my example plane but it was a low wing so the stripe was above the wing, but keeping it the same for a mid-wing didn't look right to me. There was this angled stripe going up but you could only see the end of it protruding above the wing and you only seen a little of it. So I reworked the front of the side stripe and did two things. One I made it wrap around the bottom of the fuselage and two I removed the angle stripe that stuck up through the wing but only showed a small spike sticking above the wing. Here's two pictures so you can see what I mean.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you looking at the two pictures in my latest post? Here's the original star from the reference plane.I was looking at the star.....To me, it looks a little low, so I did a quick change just to give you an idea/option to try out, of coarse you could change it up a little, (I`m thinking move it forward just a tad.. ??).

Do you like the changes I made to the side stripe?

Yes, I do like the fact that you eliminated the part coming from below the wing to over the top. If you look closer at what I did, you`ll notice/see that I moved the star "UP", just to center it a little more (top to bottom) on the side of the fuse, here`s a better pic. of what I mean. I`ll take back the part about moving it forward, I`m just trying to give you a different option for the placement up and down. It`s just a quick free select/cut/move/paste bla bla bla to give you an idea/option.Do you like the changes I made to the side stripe? (discounting you said the star was a little low)
Also, you think the star is too far back towards the end of the fuselage? How much would you move it forward? Or did you mean move it a little forward to move it "up" since the stripe is at an angle?
Thanks for the clarification. I was looking at your first picture again (before I saw your new post) and realized you were centering the star on the blue stripe to move it up for a more centered look on the side of the fuselage. But I was following the original cs which puts the star below the blue stripe, which pushes it down past the center of the fuselage. I'll think about what you said but then the side star wouldn't match the placement of all the other stars, which are at the bottom of the blue stripe, not centered on it.Yes, I do like the fact that you eliminated the part coming from below the wing to over the top.

Yeah, I get/see what you`re talking about, and didn`t take that into consideration, but a CS can literally be what ever you make it, and who`s to judge it, as far as anyone knows, it was intentional to miss match them. Like I said, I was just tossing the idea out there for ya.Thanks for the clarification.

What if you add a small stripe on the leading edge to go along with it?Here's a new version of the balsa color scheme, but I don't think like it. And now I remember why I didn't do it the first time. I started out doing it but it seemed too busy looking so I abandoned it. Anyway, if someone wants it I'll upload a beta for you, but I don't think I'll use it. The last beta I uploaded looked pretty good to me, but this one is so busy I don't care for it. But who knows maybe it will grow on me.

To me the fact that all those stripes are on top of all those ribs just make it look too jumbled up. It might look better if I removed all the stars and silver stripes. But I'll stick with my last version I think it looks the best.What if you add a small stripe on the leading edge to go along with it?
