Galin,
Roberto, my partner on the KIS TR-4 project, will be at Sun-N-Fun this year with
his wife and other Brazilian friend. He will probably contact you.
Are you planning to fly your Cruiser to there?
Best,
Fabricio

OK, will do. The airplanes I have seen that were vinyl wrapped looked very
good but they cautioned me to make sure the company has experience
wrapping an airplane not just a car. Some of them use propane torches
instead of heat guns during the install and this can be a big problem,
especially on a fiberglass airplane. Another thing is any imperfection in
the fiberglass will be seen through the vinyl so the surface must be almost
perfect. They told me those micro holes are not a bit issue but otherwise
the surface should be almost ready to paint.
Here is a link to a Vans Air Force thread covering aircraft wraps:

Have you checked with a local corvette shop for hints on painting
fiberglass? Corvettes are known for being difficult to paint since they are
99% fiberglass.
Good luck.

I understand they begin to deteriorate in 7 to 10 years. You probably want
to keep the plane in a hangar for protection.

I would appreciate if you would check out any homebuilt aircraft, especially
fiberglass planes, with full Vinyl Wraps. I would like to know what you
think of the finish and anything you can find out about the installation
process. How do the seams look and how about those areas at the edges. I
am considering the vinyl wrap for my plane after repeated failures of trying
to get a good paint job. The water based paints just aren't working and I
can't get the plane to a shop for getting it painted not to mention being
able to foot the cost.
Anything you can find out would be helpful.
Thanks,
Bob Reed

My kit arrived in 1996 and included was Neoprene hose, Aircraft spruce part
number 05-00400.
I unpacked this yesterday and the hose has gone completely brittle and shatters
very easily, I suggest that you check if you have used it anywhere.
Keep well
Mike
