Has anyone designed a computer program using a picture of a 601XL where you can try different colors and designs to help you decide what colors and /or designs you might want on your plane? It would be fun on those stormy nights to try different color combinations before I actually have to make a decision on what to use.

Darrell,



I have three view drawings (601XL with WW cowling for Corvair ) I made on AutoCAD which I used to develop my painting scheme.  It is not really a user-friendly way to do it, but you are welcome to have the drawings.  Just let me know.

I don't know if these drawings are on the Zenith sire for the 601, but I just used the line drawing and MS Paint.

 Just have the outline of the plane side, front, top

 and make a dozen copies or so and color them 

 yourself with color pencils.

Thank you for the offer. It was just a passing thought that I should have let pass. Thanks again. Happy flying.

Good idea. I never could draw a straight line with the draw programs anyway.

Darrell,

I'm still far away from choosing the paint scheme but what I did is that I've downloaded a 3-view from Zenith website, converted it to jpeg file and then you can do pretty much anything you want with it in any graphic program, even Windows's  Paint. I'm using Tablet PC, so I draw lines with stylus.

The nice thing is you could drop it in google earth.
