The "N" Numbers are 12" long including the sweep. Callie Graphics has the font and you just have to give her your N number. All the other markings are painted. -

This is the C-150 on the Eflite floats (painted). The move back and forth takes about 15 minutes. A strength of this Eflite Cessna 150 is the complete ease of transport, field assembly and configuration change back and forth between floats and wheels. -

I love flying the 150 on wheels, but she looks cooler on floats. I plan to get used to the float flying very soon!

No matter the airline, the 8 always wore a nice smile thanks to the unmistakable "Turbo Compressor" chin scoop inlets. These provided fresh air to the air conditioning and pressurization systems unlike today (except the 787). -

The DC-8-61 showing why she was called the first "Jumbo Jet" as she sits next to a DC-9. The DC-8 sat 6 across in coach, the DC-9 sat 5. The DC-9 had a narrower cross section and a smaller cockpit (the -8 sat 4 crew with 2 extra jumpseats) -

The "Stretch 8" was the first "Jumbo Jet" seating 250 passengers and was longer than the DC-10 that came out almost 5 years later than this variant. DC-8's, DC-10's, B-747's were the first "Heavy" jets. Nick Williams. -

I bought this kit well before my daughter was born and the goal was to have it built before she arrived. I missed the deadline ;) and it remained at 50% for some time :) It flew 2 yrs later and it's still flying in summer 2011 (6 seasons so far) -

My daughter took this pic after the last flight of the day so here's me and the EB on a 97 degree scorcher 6/11. Notice the hat, I wore it in the Cal Jets 06 pic! These days it's a yard work hat - coincidence???

Good conversation in 2006 with a previous BAe-146 Capt from years ago, with AirCal. AirCal was bought by American and he retired as a heavy Capt. with American in 06 I believe. -
