    Default Vinyl lettering/stickers

    I recently had a local sign and banner shop make vinyl lettering for my boat. It looks great, easy to apply and fairly cheap.

    Will this work on fabric airplanes if I want to add graphics? Downsides?

    Bill,

    The builder of my 15 year old KF II used lettering you can purchase at a hardware or big box store for the N number. They are still on the tail.

    Thanks Lou. This is what my N number is done with. I'm looking more at graphics than registration numbers though.

    I had my N number made by a graphics shop, the numbers mimic the design that is painted on my plane going from blue to yellow, any place that advertises doing "wraps" can make up any type graphic, Mike Cooper in Branson area does it, he is also a teamkitfox member

    Thanks Chase. Any issues with breath ability or anything else to consider with vinyl? It seems a simple and cheap way to go so I figure there must be a flaw somewhere...

    I have not been up there. What is the identifier? I'm trying to get brave enough to land mine on my property. In the meantime, I keep it at Bentonville Airport.
