Catto 3 blade sounds good to me. That's what I would try first if it were me!

Ken, I hear you on the "work left" reality.  I'm glad you are still following the forums, and can't wait to see your project flying.  I went to Sebring this year and had a close look at a BearHawk with Oratex, as well as a SuperSTOL.  Either would make fine flying machines for some adventure in your next of the woods (or mine). Regarding props, I have a three bladed Catto prop, designed for the UL350iS, hope it is as good as what I am expecting.  I had a panel built by SteinAir, which has been sitting (crated up) in my garage for about a month.  This whole paint thing has put me behind my summer schedule at least a couple of months.  Hopefully, wing hanging with fuel flow tests and engine crank by mid-September.  Thanks again for checking out the paint schemes and good luck with the project.

Dave

Looks good. You're going to have a great airplane. What prop are you going to use? The SuperSTOL is coming along good. I have all of my control surfaces covered, and the wings are ready to cover. I am using Oratex fabric so once they are covered they are done (no painting). The electrical is about 90% done I think. It's starting to come together but there is still a lot of work left.

Thanks Ken, appreciate the input! I think I am going with scheme #4 which I just posted.  Take a peek and let me know what you think.  How is the SuperStol coming?

Hi Dave, I like them all but I like most the one on the right.
