This is an early repaint I did for an even earlier FSX release - the Baytower Vans RV7. Baytower came and went but left us this near-perfect little GA tourer.
The skin is for the RV7A tricycle gear model with the tip-up canopy and represents G-CTED. It's not exact - for one thing the real 'TED has a state of the art glass cockpit - but it's not too far off. My late dad was 'Ted' to everyone and he would have loved the idea of his name zooming all over the sky.
The pilot's mad grin bothered me so I retouched the face to tone it down a bit. If you like the original just delete 'btsPilotFem.dds' from my texture folder and it will default to the coked-up version.
NOTE: If you use P3D or DX10 self-shadowing I highly recommend the RV7 shadow mod by Ron Attwood to remove the burned-in VC shadows, and get a lighter cockpit to boot. You can find it at AVSIM by searching for bay_tower_rv7_shadow_fix.zip.
