I've been doing hours of browsing and the info and expertise is incredible.
I fly model helicopters and run a rc heli club in South Florida. I recently got a canopy painted, did some research, and discovered that great results can be achieved useing vinyl stickers.
Here are some examples:

Initially I saw posts regarding the STIKA 15" but now it seems like the Summa D60 is a better deal. Our heli canopies are not flat surfaces, and I am not an Illustrator Genius etc., but making vinyl designs for canopies seems like an interesting part of the hobby, and its way safer than painting them... so here I am.
