There are some weird letters on the side which looked strangly out of place. Whats the OY all about

 
Then a little research later
 
 
Could that OY be part of a Danish Reg number, This is OY-ECV at Goteborg airshow and below the digital version of plane for Flight Sims
 
I think someone made a boo boo.
 
 
Note the invasion stripes dont go around the underside of the fuselage, I'll have to get the stripped paint out
   I'm as happy as a very happy sandboy.

Hello again,
 
The OY on the side is indeed the registration of the Danish owned L-4
 
 
They (HK) copy very well, even the things they don't have to....lol
 
Cheers,
 
Erik

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=3743 these are the servos I use and have found perfect for these models.
I have a ASP 120 Four Stroke on order I prefer a four stroke with a large prop than a two stroke petrol

The cool thing about it is that they have put some thought into placeing it there on the model, cause the did it in the standard US military font (of that time). Not like the Danish 1:1 size one.
