Pretty awsome!  And at a saving over painting.... Wow!  I wonder what the chances are of it coming off in flight.  I would presume proper application is important.

 I had a friend, who was highly experienced, lose control of a Beech 18 on take off when the left deice boot came off.....mostly.  About 20% remained attached and the remainder trailed over the wing. 

Has anybody had any problems with separation in flight?  What speed? Any control problems?

I'd certainly like to use it on our ES.

We saw this airplane at Oshkosh, was impressed by the unique paint scheme and took a couple photos.  We didn’t realize it was a total vinyl wrap until we read about it in the AirVenture news paper the next day…  The article said it cost about $6K.  In paint it would probably have been at least $25K…
