Greetings all, I was wondering if anyone here has any information or experience with vinyl wraps for wings, control surfaces, fuselage on sailplanes, It seems that this product would be pretty easy to use on ailerons, elevators and rudders and would be insignificant weight gains. Iknow that it is used in aviation. I think that the biggest issue may be static electricity and any drag resulting from dust adhered to surface of the wing due to static electricity


I have seen an entire Twin Astir wrap and it looks beautiful. I have also the rudder on an ASW27 wrapped. Send me an email and I will forward the information/contact to you.

Here is a nice video showing how it is done on a glider for decorative purposes. Pretty neat!
