What was it actually meant for? Pitot&Static from probe to instruments? I made those mainly with alu tubing.

I think it is a good thing. When it is time to replace the wrap, if you want to change your original scheme, you can at a significantly lower cost . If you like the paint scheme, you have the option of wrapping it again or going ahead and painting it. You don't have that option with a paint job without spending a lot more $$$$. My 2 cents.
