Upside Down Ripple?

I'm thinking of doing another Raspberry Ripple but the aircraft doesn't lend itself well to having the traditional white/red topsides with blue/red belly.  I know that the scheme is done that way to make it easier to tell 'which way is up'-it has never changed.  But the a/c I had in mind would work MUCH better if the blue/red was topside.

I know I know.  This is wiffery but I'm still trying to be logical with it.  Would having an 'upside down' aircraft in the fleet confuse?

Suggestions please.

Depends on the plane and how easy it is to fly upside-down... :)

Alternatively you could just call the scheme Raspberry Elppir :wacko:

I guess the real answer is - try it and see.

Well....since it technically is a what-if, put it on sideways!   B)

White nose,  main wings (w/ red\blue trim),  red cheat line around the fuselage about 2/3 of the way between the wings and horizontal stabs, and a solid blue tail empennage.

Just change the white to chocolate brown and call it Neapolitan.

I invite all and any criticism, except about Eric The Dog, it's not his fault he's stupid

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
