Very very nice! I also like the logo on the lower right. But has anyone done the math on the chance of a mid-air between the two aircraft outlines? Is it too late to stop them?

Ryan, out of interest, do many customers request original coverings on their aircraft in preference to the ever present, versatile and friendly Ceconite?

Yeah, some people opt for Linen or equivalent, particularly if going for the "as it left the factory" look, its becoming more and more difficult to get hold of (the best source seems to be Belgium of all places).
Its more time consuming to put on and finish which equates to higher costs so most go for Ceconite.
It has been said that it lasts longer but I think linens pretty good if kept properly (good dope finish, low humidity, low UV light ie always hangared).
Also thanks for the feedback on the logo too, its my new company which is about to launch soon. Just working on the final bits and peices now.
I will post a couple more of the Vega as soon as I can.

Ryan, were you flying or photographing? And, will we see any more photos please? Or are they to be published.
What's your new company? I can't read the name on the logo (which is really neat by the way)

I was flying for these shots, I was actually in the right seat with the owner in the left (makes the formation stuff a little more difficult but thats the way it turned out). The camera ship was a Tiger with Jerry Chisum flying and Russell Brodie (who owns Rangitata Island airstrip in South Canterbury) doing the photos. It was a bit of a made rush to do these shots as we were to busy over the weekend because it was our annual fly-in. We did them late yesterday afternoon about 15min before everyone departed for their appropriate homes. My company is called Critical Angle Ltd, we are retailing a new range of communication and headset products to the Australasian market as well as some more unusual and specialised pilot accessories. The logo was a quick draft with the final images to be done soon (it was mostly there to lend a little copy protection).  |

Thats a really cool logo.
The Gull looks great too - I go out to Auckland International sometimes just to admire Jean Batten's one there.

Cheers Ryan. Good luck with the new business and feel free to do a little promoting through the forum so other aviators can become aware of it.

Looks like a short peice to be in Classic Wings when it comes out soon and maybe a feature at a later stage.
