I have been looking at this paint for a bit and think I might just try it..............
Maybe some "tundras" can find their way into the hanger
Yes it is a Peterson Mod 182P, but sure is a nice paintjob
Possible next 172 paint....

Certainly is different from anything I have seen. It does seem to have a pleasing look and would manage to completely change the lines of the 172. I think it is quite appealing.

Re: Possible next 172 paint....
That canard on the front is supposed to be very effective in reducing the nose heaviness of the 182 and allows a flatter, slower, landing speed, and reported to make the 182 fingertip controllable. Of course that 300hp out front doesn't hurt the stol capabilities either
Lewis, look up the Peterson King Katmai conversion if you wanna see the specs on these...some good vids around too showing the performance off-airport

Woa, yea that's crazy. I haven't seen anything like that either. It looks like the canard has ailerons or does the whole thing rotate?
And Realtree!! Awesome, looks like fun!

Re: Possible next 172 paint....
The canard is stable, only providing extra lift to the nose...from the vids I've watched, you can do a soft field take off and get up around 35 knots, level to get more airspeed, then do the climb out.....looks like a lot of fun if the bank and the missus would allow lol
