Hi jerry, one other thing

you can buy smaller batches, pay as you go,  do the rudder first, just order enough for that, see if you like vinyl,

and learn how to wrap. its not hard at all, very easy and fun. do yor horiz next, maybe slats and flaperons after. Wing and fuse easy very boxy. the cowling front a little tedious w compound curves. get a heat gun, maybe a hairdryer will be warm enough.

That's a good start. Thanks

James I got an aprox. square footage. 660. I would add some for mistakes.

Thank you Bob Simmons and Michael Radtke for your input. They were of great help. I want to do it myself. Money is tight as we know, flying can be expensive. Doing a wrap would allow my wife to be involved. There are no fumes to affect her asthma.

I would like to know what I need in terms of square footage on my 701. Anybody have a good estimate?
