  1. I've been looking at vinyl solutions for a homebuilt project... a much slower one. The vinyl technique is growing in popularity in the US (machines like the Hummelbird ultracruise or LSA Sonex) as it's much lighter than a proper paint job and 1/5 of the price. Lighter matters when the FAA only let then have 254lbs for a plane (if an ultralight). As for the 'wrapping' technique - it's just like a model aircraft with iron-on coverings... overlap in the direction where the wind will not peel it back. If this accident ripped skins, there will be ripped/stretched vinyl. Saying that, I have not inspected the plane before or after so let's wait and see. Woohoo... first post... pity it's in a crap subject like this :( Pete
