Vinyl wrap airplanes for beginners part 2

[@Vansaircraftbuilders]

Very Cool!

[@charosenz]

One clarification is the part where I said it was very hard to remove. That is true, but, if you use a heat gun it comes off very easy. But without a heatgun it adheres to bare aluminum quite strongly. Hope that clarifies the statement. I buy from EPDwilldowfilm.com. They ship quickly and pricing is good.

Why aren't you interested in an automatic conversion engine like that used to be installed on this Cruzer Ch750?

[@charosenz]

If you are referring to my other airplane that had the Honda engine on it, I sold it. This project that I purchased already came with this engine.

is it lighter than paint?

[@charosenz]

I would say in most cases, yes. But for most small light planes were probably only talking about 7-8 lbs or so. But I have never weighed a plane before and after painting or vinyl wrapping to give hard numbers. I think we would be hard pressed to find anyone who offered up answers. I.E. how much weight would a gallon of paint be added once all the solvents have evaporated? Many will have opinions but most of them will be guesses. Good question though. I'll try to weigh the next order of vinyl for the wings when it comes in. By the way. Polishing added no weight. Food for thought.

@@marks7502 I read a spec sheet that says that it is 150gms per square meter.
