For those of you who have your own design graphics on your plane...did you make
them yourself? I have my design ready and I am curious if I can make them myself
at home. I would hope it is just a matter of buying the right type of "paper"
to print on.

Here in Texas=2C we consider the midwest to be the area around
San Angelo. When someone here says "go west"=2C they mean
El Paso. I won't tell you what they think the mideast is=2C other
than a constant mess.

Michael,
Mike C., Jack P., Oscar, and I'm sure others have had their graphics
produced from vinyl by a company out of Michigan called "AvGrafix":
http://www.avgrafix.com/index.html
There are pics of Mike and Jack's Piets under the "Custom Graphics" section
of the site. I'm sure they can provide more details about cost. I can't
recall having heard about any particular method for printing graphics from a
consumer inkjet printer that would produce something suitable for this
application. Either way, if you could produce something on your home printer
it would have to be approximately 8" tall or smaller, and unless you could
find media on a roll it could be no wider than approximately 10.5"....

I am aware of AvGrafix as well as a ton of others who CAN do it, that is wh
y I asked if anyone made there own. I have found some ink jet compatible vi
nyl- that is self adhesive and waterproof for exterior use. It is recomme
nded that this get covered with a UV laminate after application. Check it:

Glenn and Jim Q., along the same note:
I've been trying to figure out how to fair the 3/16" x 1/2" strips into the trailing
edges. The glue "ledge" in the trailing edge is only 1/16" deep. It seems
like I will need to remove too much material from the strips (please see attached
sketch).
I'm curious how others have handled this situation?

Jim,
Just clamp the pieces down and sand or file back about 3 or 4". Those pieces
have little to do with strength, and are mostly about shape.

I agree with you and had the same concerns. I cut my rabbet 1/8" deep which helps
sink the capstrip pieces. Also, I put spacers between the capstrips so if
it is weakened slightly at the very tip, the spacers (pieces of capstrip keeping
the fore/aft pieces from squeezing together during rib stitching) add a bit
of strength. It seems adequately strong despite the thinning of the tips at
the points where the meet the spars they attach to. I'm interested in hearing
what others might say.

On NX18235 it was done exactly as your drawing shows. No problems after 150
hours.
