Dream Schemes Designs and AircaftWraps have collaborated together on our newly designed scheme to make sure you cant miss it!  We had to do something to give Titans Wrap some competition!
Titan Engines' RV8 that we wrapped will also be in OSH at their space. AW will be hanging out in both areas to discuss wraps.
We look forward to meeting everyone in OSH.

If Scott has improved on the designs I saw when visiting his shop a few weeks ago, I think they will be quite impressive! I'm seriously considering having my aircraft wrapped now, instead of painting!
Thanks, for the tour of your aircraft and facilities, Scott, and I will see you at the Show!

Probably been discussed before somewhere, but what is the weight difference between a wrap and paint? Cost of a reasonably simple scheme for a wrap on an RV?

Aircraft Wraps....Are you guys for real?
I flew 1000 miles each way to SNF mostly to see your aircraft. Never found you, couldn't hook up. I'm going with paint.

Sorry to hear that. We enjoyed meeting with several pilot/builders. Sun N Fun allowed us to meet Titan's leaders. Later we wrapped their 409 aircraft after viewing our RV8 we flew in to show. Team Aerodynamics also viewed our RV8. Zenith, Lancair, Bedecorp, etc.
Sorry we missed you individually.
We were at sun n fun friday, sat and sunday.

Vinyl is around 70% lighter with our process.
Send me an email with design details and we'll reply with a quote.

Scott,
Did you ever come up with a plan for the two Phoenix wrap jobs? Never heard back. I'll be camping all week in HBC with my bare metal RV-8. I'll definitely find you and introduce myself.

Aw, Weslaco is just a *little* bit off a straight line

Does that mean vinyl weighs 70% of paint, or 30%.

I would bet that all of the reported weight savings are for wrapping a bare aluminum airplane. I bet if you epoxy primed the entire exterior prior to wrapping there would not be any weight savings. Wrapping a non-primed airplane is asking for serious corrosion issues.
