I'm with Ernie on this one.
The paint scheme on the left is eye catching.

Well that got some action going, I am making a few mods to the left one so I hope it will enhance your comments. I will post the next round as soon as I see them.

Sorry to disagree, but my vote is for the one on the right. It looks a lot like "our favorite airplane" in the photos section

I agree with Todd, I prefer the one on the right as well. BTW, can you put those three bladed props on a T337G??? Can you heat the front one??? How do they stand up to stone chips, and other impact damage compared to Aluminum?? Just curious. FWIW, I kind of like the current paint scheme on your plane as well, more of a classic look to my eye....better match for the interior too. Can't loose either way though.

Yes the MT's are approved for the G model. Yes the front can be heated. The leading edge has a stainless steel strip and is really heavy duty. You never have to dress the blade like the original aluminum McCaully's. The rear is in the line of fire though, no different than the original, and will suffer damage if contacted with FOD. I have had to do 3 repairs on my rear in 6 years. The repairs are pretty easy, using 5 minute epoxy. Re-paint is the trickiest part. If you search MT props there are photos and more info on this message board. Thanks for the comments on the paint scheme.
