MANY thanks to a pilot/friend who offered to do it, and Greg at
Polyfiber tech support who said "Sure, it's done all the time. What
questions do you have? Have your friend call me." I had no idea it was so complicated, I thought stuff just, stuck, y'know? Turns out there's a complicated chemical reaction that occurs, and the new vinyl is not your grandfather's old vinyl. Really neat listening to Greg and my friend talk back and forth about which vinyl to use.
Scheme Designers did the artwork off a concept I had and we refined it
over a couple years when Life got in the way. The size was limited by the
printing machine, if we had tried to make it bigger it would have to be
in 2 parts with a seam horizontally across the wingspan, so we maxed it out for a single sheet and played with the aspect ratio so it would look proportionate. I used a projector to
display the final on the wing to make sure it looked good, then we went
for it. I also applied it to a MS FSX SeaRey.
