Welcome aboard Christian!

There are a few ways to get color data for a plane...

Looks like you have three colors/codes there...

What are you trying to do?

Do you have access to the plane’s original logs?

if you are looking for touch up paints... taking an access panel to an auto paint store can get a really good match...

PP thoughts only, not a mechanic...

Best regards,

One awesome resource for all things Mooney....

The original records are still in Kerrville, TX...

You might try getting somebody @mooney.com to look these up for you...

If you make it interesting... they will want to help you out...

Got any pics of your project you can share?

Holy cow that looks real!

Do we have any traditions to follow for a first flight in a Mooney?

Do you get any transition training with that?  :)

 

This is a great example of the expression of the Mooney Lifestyle!

Congrats on completing the build, good luck with the first flight...

Best regards,

Christian,

The flight looked great from here...

Truely amazing!

How were the flight qualities?

How well does your heart work after all of that?

Thanks for sharing the link...  I copied it here with the cover pic....

Proof that Mooneys do really well on grass runways...

The T/O run looked like about 10m.

The scale model is sensitive to approach speed like the full scale models...  a few extra knots and the runway floats by...

:)

Best regards,

Deal Mooney enthusiasts,

the flight was very challenging, the heartbeat was extremen fast, the Model ist very sensitive to flying.

The landing was extremly fast thanks to the grass runway I was finished at the end.

All in all a successful maiden flight!!!

Have a nice time to fly your Mooney's :D
