Hi Nicolas,

I went through my e-mail and unfortunately gmail appears to have killed the attachment at some point. It came from Bob K. I've pinged him privately regarding your post.

When modelling these planes, we usually find a hires picture and trace it in Photoshop.

If anyone has a font for this it would be better and save time. Please let me have a copy

You mean like at the top of this document?

It looks to be done by hand, not with an established typeface that
embodies every letter of the alphabet. I decomposed the .pdf file and
found that that lettering is done with individual curves, not with a
font or typeface.
If what you want to do is put the word "Discus" or "Ventus" on a
document or on graphics that you stick onto your trailer, that's
pretty easy. All you need to do is open the .pdf in Illustrator (or
similar), group the strokes that form the word, scale the group to the
desired size, and then use it as you wish.
If what you want to do is create graphic lettering of that style but
with different words and characters, you pretty much have to do that
by hand in Illustrator (or similar). I suppose that there might be an
established font for that, but I've never encountered it in any
publishing app I've yet used.
Thanks, Bob K.
Ok, anyone have this in a format (vector?) I can take to my graphics shop and get a stencil made? I'm refinishing my fuselage and would really like to get the old "Ventus" back on there as original. I really like the lettering.

Hey thanks so much!

As a bit of an aside about making vinyl graphics for gliders. When I purchased a "new" glider a few years back I needed to change contest IDs. The cost from a local print shop was going to be expensive and I knew my own predilections would mean I would not quite like the first pass of the work (wrong color, wrong font, application screw ups, etc, etc, etc) and this extra work could add up in a hurry.

So I purchased a used hobbyist's vinyl cutter (Silhouette Cameo) on eBay for $100. Best decision I could have made. Easy to use. Good software. Short learning curve. Capacity 12 inches by 15 FEET! I haven't tried the Cricut brand but it seems just about the same. High quality supplies are cheap and quickly shipped in a multiplicity of colors from Amazon - been on my trailer for years now without any issues.

What I found is that I could easily remake and redesign graphics quickly. Fonts galore. You can curve text around a shape. You can create your own designs with the software's CAD like program (I made a glider head on profile for the back window of my airport vehicle). The ability to import graphics from a different CAD program or grabbed off the web (B/W is easiest) then stretch and contort, enlarge and shrink, to you heart's desire. I have taken pictures of worn out graphics on the sides of trailers and remade those. I was able to recreate the U shaped attachments for aileron and rudder horn covers.

12" may not seem very big but it is and works for nearly everything you might need. For the larger IDs on the bottom of your wing just print the text sideways and use the 15 foot capability. Beyond that I found myself making graphics for our club's ships - N numbers and such. The "new" towplane needed lots of "No Step" and "No Push" labeling.

What you cannot do is make multi-color graphics like what you might see wrapped on cars and trucks. The most you can do is overlay one color onto another to highlight the top layer.

My $0.02.
