Graeme,
Thanks for the pics, there are some snazzy paint schemes there.
I was actually refering to VH oz gliders of the complete fiberglass type
construction, the pics of the Schleicher K-8B seem to be fabric over a frame
construction where you can go nuts and paint fancy schemes as the fabric is not
affected by different thermal expansion rates due to colour changes.
If the Schleicher K-8B is of fiberglass construction i would not be flying them
with the common fuselarge distortion shown in the pics below.
Cheers
Ben
