My first poll. Hope I did it right.

Eclipse all day!!!

[Piloto]

The most I can afford these days is a spray can and some masking tape. But I don't feel bad. My M20J has a relief tube and rolling window shades for comfort. None are on the new $700K Mooneys.

Looks like David's first poll is working properly....

Feels like I'm choosing the paint scheme for a class A travel trailer... lots of airy swoopy stripes....

I used the process of elimination to select the best of the lot...

nice work David.

As far as colors consider one that will make it easy to spot your plane on the ground if you crash or ditch. Or simply to be spotted in the air before a collision occurs.

OrangeMTL covered the optic orange and BMW design combo...

Its new owner has a photo here...  https://mooneyspace.com/profile/9146-acclaimml/

Certainly a subjective thing I voted Skye but there are graphics and there are colors. I prefer the graphics on the Skye but think they could have spent more time on the color options for all three

I like the style of the Skype and Vortex, but the Skye needs more color and the Vortex needs more pleasant colors . . . Where I live, the Eclipse would just be too hot.

I'm interested in your rolling window shades... do you have an Amazon link or something?

[carusoam]

Rocket,  

See if this works...

it is José's idea with Mike's connection through smile.Amazon, if I got it right....

Vortex but put white on top for hot summer days.

[Piloto]

I got the shades from Walmart at the store for about $10. I did not use the suction cups. I attached the brackets using the existing screws that holds the window panel. I also change the perforated vinyl cloth for solid vinyl cloth. They work very well. You can adjust them for the desired shade. They roll back at the push of a button.

I cannot afford a new Ultra, so that solves a problem I didn't have. But if I did have to choose, I'd go with the personalization  option on the Mooney website. 

Not trying to be an ass, I just don't like those options.

OrangeMTL is the old owner, the new owner of 730ML lives in McKinney, Tx now. Very easy to spot, very nice plane (Kevin, got your ears on?)

[bonal]

Looks better with red IMHO

[Mcstealth]

My pick didn't win. I'm so sad   

well. Not really.  He he. 

[Bravoman]

That vortex is something else! I don't know if I would choose it, but then again I am a guy that has a burnt orange Chevy avalanche!
