[QUOTE=OV10;n52291]After several hours of research, have decided on the livery for me and of course it had to be Navy.
OK Callie, here's another one to add to your files.
Of course, I just naturally assumed that!!
So what do you think CB, are you going grey are some sort of silver??
If silver, I think I posted the Acrylic I used on Old Crow, it's a perfect match, plus a Sargents brand which is slightly different if you want to alter the color slightly it should be posted in the painting section.

Flap to Elevator mixing for flap deployment
I did mix 2mm of down elevator to the 1/2 manual recommended flap setting and an additional 2mm more to the full flap manual recommended setting per Alpha's recommendations. He was dead on correct with these measurements in preventing the nose from pitching up when flaps were deployed at either setting.Brandon Moon

Battery placements and sizes
She's pretty roomy for her size and I had no problems fitting the admiral 4000's. However...I did have to re position the battery straps to fit them better over the center of the batteries based on my placement of the to get the desired CG between 65 and 75mm.
A 4000 admiral is the biggest (Thickness wise) you can fit under the nose tray lip and it will require removing about 1/8 inch of foam from the tongue to allow it to fit under that lip....but you will also notice that I have the noose battery positioned much further back and actually overhanging the tray by almost half....so it's not even under the forward hatch lip at all.8 PhotosBrandon Moon

You should see if you can get a picture with yours in front of it when you're finished building.

I love this bird! If I recall correctly Brandon Moon was looking at King of the Cats as a possible repaint livery option once he completed his two seater canopy mod. Very jealous of your location to be so close to a well loved and airworthy Tigercat. Seeing the serial plate is interesting because that conflicts with the warbird registry online. Proof is in the pudding!

If they're offering P51 rides, that's on my bucket list.
Getting an F7F-3 is first though. Might take a few years but......

Another bonus is about 90 minutes away, the Planes of fame museum in Chino Ca.

For a fantasy scheme, I like this one. Although the numbers are all over the place, the scheme itself is neat and eye-catching.3 PhotosLive Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream
