Raimo,
The only one glider with another color than white was a Finnish Pik 20 B
in the World Championships in Waikiri (Australia). It was light yellow.
Seems that in Suomi they experiment to reinvent the wheel even if only
to attract attention. Differences in temperature for the same structure
is not desirable for glass constructions. But I understand that you want
to keep the belly warm.
Best regards,
Karel Vranken, # 447 F-PKRL.

Wau, an another bad boy again!
In fact I found few days ago nice pics of N81EU
and it was parked in Utah Salt Lake City may I guess.
I think it is one of the hottiest place in the world. And fastest!
I noticed your Europa=C2=B4s sides also have been painted blue,
not only down side.
Maybe you fly so much that it has no time enough to melt...
Karel: people do things many times just because it is just a "habit".
Like painting gliders only white. Some times an individual decides
to do something other way. It can be a disaster or success. You know.
They call it experimental.
Thanks, Raimo
