Thanks! Found one fairly close.

How has the wrap worked out on the belly? Does oil and grime come off easily?

Thanks! At first I thought the weight was around 30 lbs but I was mistaken. After weighing it again it appears to be less than 10 lbs. You should be able to easily find local business's by googling "auto wraps". Best of luck!

Very nice design--congratulations! I couldn't find a website, but as I'm in San Diego CA I'll have to find someone closer. Any ideas? Any idea how much weight was added?

I did the design. ID Wrap computerized it for my approval and produced the picture you see at the top of this page. The work was entirely done by them in the hangar where the 701 was built. It took about three days. The result looks exactly like the picture.

Who designed it? What services were included in the price?

Hi Wayne. I had a company called "ID Wrap" do the job. The wrap has help up extremely well. As a matter of fact, I just had to alter the lower cowl to accommodate adding and relocating a new oil cooler. I am going to drop the cowl off at ID Wrap for them to re-wrap the tan color on the bottom. I would make the same decision again. It still looks brand new.

Also, did you wrap it or get the pros to do it? Was it difficult to put on properly?

Oh, yes, Rod. That's one of the best designs I've seen yet!

Rod, how about a new report now, three years out? How much did it weigh?

Best,

Wayne Tyson

The company was ID Wrap out of Slatington, PA. The wrap is applied to bare metal. And I am sorry, it was $5,200 not $4,200. Still a good deal.
