Does anyone know a graphics cutter that can make really big graphics for the side of a trailer. some like 36" or maybe even more. Thanks.

I forgot to mention: a big warbird or Pitts, something along that line.

If you're talking about graphics that will let everyone know what you have inside the trailer think again, otherwise go to any graphics place. A lot of trailers get stolen so be careful as to letting people know what you do with the trailer.

My opinion on that is , if you have an enclosed trailer of any kind, is a sure bet that there something valuble in it. IF they want it, nothing you can do will keep them from stealing it , exept a 44 mag. It's a shame you can't kill some low life bum for stealing property.[&o][>:]

Take the money you would have spent on graphics and buy a couple extra boxes of shells, especially where you live close to the border.

I'm a thirty-year sign painter and graphi designer and in the process of setting up my own trailer. One option is to sew heavy vinyl banner material and letter onto that and apply the removable banners to the trailer when at the field or a show. They can also double for indoor banners at shows, etc with a little thought to layout. I can't seem to get into the spirit of worrying about my trailer being stolen. I'm in business and I need my trailer lettered just like the local plumber needs his lettered. Actually, almost any sign shop that cuts vinyl lettering can do what you need especially if you supply them the art. It really doesn't have to be a "hobby" related cutter. They can simply scan your art into the program, size it and cut it. Unless you go with a large commercial company, most of the vinyl cutters will use a cutting plotter with around a 30" (or less) width and they will be layed on in horizontal/vertical strips to make up the whole of the design. Course I'm of the old school of hand lettering. Vinyl never stops "cooking" and as the solvents leave the sheet over a period of time and exposure to sun (even the stuff billed as UV resistant) you get cracking and shrinkage perhaps not so much on RC aircraft that are protected most of the time but eveyone has seen this happen on trailers. I can keep my paint touched up but touched up vinyl can really look ugly. Of coures that's just my opinion and I could be wrong.

If/when I get a trailer, I was thinking of getting a large sign on the side that reads:

SWANSON'S SEPTIC TANK CLEANING & SEWER RODDING

Diablo-rcu,

It's funny you say that, I've been thinking of getting a magnetic sign that says( " Al's septic cleaning" )to put on when at a hotel.

I was thinking along the lines of " Bio Hazard" or "Radioactive Waste"; that should do it.

I have a very large Grumman Widgeon on one side and a Beaver on the other. Haven't had a problem. Could be the 195 lb dog that stays with the trailer.

I have used www.bandegraphix.com with excellent results and they can do big graphics plus they just did a whole plane with printed graphics which you can put a jpeg on the side of your trailer.

Took the words right out of my mouth.... I know several people who's trailers have been stolen (or broken into) due to them advertising the expensive toys that lie within....

I think if I had a trailer I'd paint it brown and put "dog waste disposal service" or something catchy like "Mark's Illegal Alien transport service.." on the side of it.... 'aint no one would want THAT trailer!! OH yeah.. having a Desert Eagle comes in handy too...

I have One thought on this. People steal things for money. Now if your average crack head is going to steal something chances are its not your trailer. (Most dont own a car)It will be a small box Possibly with your transmitter in it. or maybe your battery charger.Now if someone steals your trailer chances are A he Knows you.B he is in your club or has been around you. C he wants just your trailer. or D you didnt keep up with the payments ( thats called reposession )Now wouldn't it be easy to tell the cops I am looking for a trailer with Bigg Letters on the side that says ??????? or look for a trailer that has Airplanes on the side.
No you would want to put Good Quality Vinyl on the side that cant be peeled off in any time soon.Now Here is where I try and enlighten some. Printed vinyls are only 4 year Not perm. and Fades like hell if not done properly and Will come off fairly easy. So what you want at least on Letters and such is 751 Oracal,or even a 651 wich has a least a 6 year life and has permabond

Ok Here Is a Guy who Kinda Knows something, and the smartest thing he has said is "Of coures that's just my opinion and I could be wrong. Now He is right vinyl will shrink and Dry up. But Some Vinyls Like the 751 and 651 can stay in Direct UV sunlight for 8 years without shrinking and No fadeing/cracking So what you have is a product that will outlast paint and when it comes down to change Well there is nothing easier to do.??

I know you are going to hit me with that one. First off all you need is heat( a small heat gun.) and a can of wd40 and one of those plastic scrapers.
