[NSRCA-discussion] ZN Line and Composite-ARF Integral

Hey Brian,

This vinyl stuff sounds like a K-Factor article to me.

How well does it work on balsa surfaces?

Wayno

  Its not  hard, if you can find the Impact thread on RCU its got pictures of my vinyl covered Impact on it. Use a cad program if you have access and draw a pattern and take the files to a sign shop in PDF format. Layout the wings and fuse and make something you like. Dont cover really wide sections w/ a solid color. Stay away from very narrow sharp points since thats most likely to lift. Compound curves are tough and you need to do them in a couple of pieces, like the area between the canopy and nose on most current plaes. 

  I have had vinyl on my Impact for going on 2 years, its still stuck solid except two very pointy spots. 30% nitro is ok as long as you dont soak it in it, if you do it will restick when the fuel evaporates. 

  For me a great alternative to paint since I dont like to paint.

    Does anyone know of where there is documentation of
    methods or even just hints for covering with vinyl?
