First I should apologize for incorrectly giving the wrong person credit for
drawing the FlyRotary logo. It seems that it was Ben Schneider that drew it
and submitted it to CustomInk.
It can still be ordered here if anyone is interseted
https://www.customink.com/designs/nologo/16728683-3659122/hotlink
or
https://www.customink.com/designs/flyrotary5/16728581-3659122/hotlink
It seems that Ben sold his project and unsubscribed way back in 2012, so I
hope that he doesn't mind that his artwork lives on.
  I found this by searching the archives, which yes Charlie, I agree they
can be difficult at times but I'm still really happy they are there and use
them often/occasionally.

So to continue sharing this artwork I just put the graphic in different
formats and put them all in a shared google Drive folder
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tUsgtTD5qJGEMA0xE8Ecampo5O_noIjh?usp=sharing

The .svg file is a vector graphic which can be used in Inkscape or
Illustrator
The .dxf file is for most commercial and some hobby cutting machines.
The .studio3 file is for use directly in a Silhouette Cameo3 cutting machine
-note that with all these files the text relies on your installed fonts on
your own PC, so you can change to whatever font style you want but if you
want the same one that I used you will need to have it installed. It is
Terminator and I uploaded the correct .ttf file as well. Just double click
on it and your computer will correctly install it for you.

and of course for those that just want the image there is a .png and a .jpg

Now a little off-topic but for those looking to purchase their own cutting
machine I would say it is well worth it. It cost me far less than getting
it done professionally and it was fun, sort of easy and I'm quite pleased
with the results.
  There are 3 main brands to choose from. Cricut, Silhouette, Brother. All
three of them are reasonably priced but have limited design software geared
toward arts & crafts types, but all have "membership" options that for a
price (yearly subscription) will supposedly open up an entire world of
wondrous possibilities for you. Don't do it.
The Cricut is rated as slightly better than the others, but it can only cut
a maximum of 12"x24" and it's software is web based with no way to import
.svg or .dxf files. Good for scrapbooking with the ladies club I suppose.
The Brother also seemed like it was going to need extra purchases and it
was lowest rated (but still good) so I didn't look much at that one.
The Silhouette Cameo3 is rated in the middle, but for doing airplane or
other vehicle graphics would be best for us as it can cut to a maximum
12"x120" (be sure to buy the optional $50 roll feeder if doing long stuff).
It can also import .dxf files directly with the basic free software. You
need the pro software to import .svg files. This allows you to do your own
design work in InkScape (free & powerful) or Adobe Illustrator (not free,
but powerful) and then export your vector graphic as a .dxf file for
immediate use in your Silhouette cutter software.
  It's really pretty easy and allows you to put a personal touch on your
own plane. And I think most builders that are willing to pursue an
alternative engine for their project can and probably should do the
finishing touches as well.
It can also do a multitude of other things including doing your own t-shirt
using the heat-press vinyl instead of ordering from the above link
