Outstanding job Billy.

I have noticed sometimes orange can get pinkish over time, and even when printing out on paper from a computer, or copying, it is a hard color to get true.

My amphib's wingtips are Tiger orange and the turtle hatch is actually a flourescent orange/red (I want to make it easy on the Coast Guard!). The rest of the orange trim amidships will be orange vinyl tape, as I'm sick of painting.

the pink strip is actually very dark candy red marbilized. the way the sun was on it makes it look pink i guess . thanks billy

That is an awesome airplane. Congratulations!!!  I want to know what your closest big airport is so I know when I am in your area. That goes for everyone out there. As I criss-cross this great land of ours I want to see a Highlander or 2 along the way. Please forward your local so I can put you in my I-phone. Don't forget the Bushnell Flyin the weekend before S n F.

Try clicking "add image to post" below in blue vs. add attachment.  That is what made the difference for my posts in regards to size.

[rmullins]

Dennis, if you right click on the pictures and save them to your computer, the windows picture viewer will scale them so yo can see the whole thing.

[billy5823]

[billy5823]

WOW! Those bush tires really look great. I think they really take the plane to the next level. For us up here in the northeast there really is no decent bush to put the planes down into to justify the cost. There are plenty of lakes so with the few thousand investment that would go towards the bush wheels it is over half the price of floats which is our next step.

I think the highlander looks incredible with the big gear though and maybe someday I can convince my dad on the next wheel change to at least go with a happy medium such as Wes' blue and white highlander or lynns. If one more person asks me if our plane is a Kitfox im going to lose it! The bush wheels take it far out of the kitfox realm.
