[Hizsigns]

Newby here... Hoping someone would have an Image of Single Engine Airplane... Father-in-Law lives in Fly in neighborhood and wanting to make nice sign for the home entrance. Anyone have recommendations on finding images? Much appreciated help...

Welcome Stewart !
This doesn't help (I looked) in this instance, but it's a good resource to look through and we have bought several for our "Library".

Others will probably chime in soon.
Maybe Google " .stl Airplane"?
Again Welcome. Which machine did you get?

Bob,
It's amazing piece... I am looking for a couple outlines of Mooney or Skylanr 172 Airplanes as these what he has in hanger. Tried doing copy of photo graphs in Aspire and just not getting clean lines. This will be simple project that I can VCarv or do 3D surface image for a House Sign.... FUnny when you tell all your family you have machine to do signs...everyone wants one... lol...
I'm am still a newby and trying new things to gain knowledge and experience. Have a lot of nice Hardwoods from woodworking days and wanna use it for nice projects.... Any cost effective materials out there for testing pieces before doing them in nice wood or even HDU's?
Thx Stewart

Stewart, I personally stink at graphics programs and we don't have Aspire, but passed it on to my Northern counterpart and was just wondering if it would help you?

If one were to have a plastic model of an engine...it could be scanned. Then you'd have a file ready for machining.
