Now you'll have a unique bird to fly, best of luck with her, she's a sweetheart!

DPD,
No, for two reasons:
First the navy blue is almost as dark as the black finish and I have not had a problem with my previous TCat gatoring. Possibly because prior to applying the paint, I applied a two coats of clear flat Minwax which is fairly reflective and might possibly keep it from gatoring.
Secondly, i usually fly between sun up and 10:30am with the “early birds” at our club field so the sun is not at that time a major factor. I also use the shade to my advantage when “parking” the aircraft on the “tarmac.”
Thanks for your concern, I’ll keep the gator problem on my mind as I fly this bird - especially here in Sunny Southwest Florida.
Also thanks for your comment on the finish. Dug out my old airbrush and gave it a try. I suppose I am thinking this might be practice for the birdcage corsair I am planning to get.
Keep ’em flying!!!
