Custom Design Program Overview

Thank you for working with us! We value your trust in us.

The following described the steps in the design phase of your Custom Design Program, so you know what to expect, what's included and what's not included.

During the project, there is:

• NO TIME LIMIT - you can keep exploring design ideas and details for as long as you want!
• NO DESIGN LIMIT - we will explore as many design directions as you need for until you find the design that is right for you!

We encourage you to take time to mull over the designs presented, particularly as you are narrowing down to your final design so that you are completely comfortable and satisfied with your final choice.

What is Included:

• Preliminary Designs
  • The preliminary designs are our first round of design ideas based on your homework, requests and our creativity.
  • Designs are typically presented in multiple color combinations based on your tastes, interior colors and our suggestions.
  • Review all preliminary designs and provide detailed comments by e-mail or telephone.
  • The more detail you provide about your likes and dislikes, the more focused we are able to be in successive design rounds.

• Iterative Design Work
  • Based on comments and critiques, we will prepare design variations or new design directions for you.
  • Each time changes or new designs are added to your web site, they will be organized on the Index page by date, with newest designs at the bottom of the page.
  • We can iterate designs as much as you would like until you find the design direction you think most suitable, and until we work out all details to your complete satisfaction.
  • Once we start focussing on a particular design direction in plan or top view drawings.

• Live Online Design
  • At any time during the project, you can request, or we may suggest a live online design session.
  • We connect your computer to ours using go to meeting and while talking on the phone, you can direct real time changes to your design.
  • Although live online design sessions may be set up on the fly, it is useful to schedule these sessions, as they often last between 30 minutes and 2 hours.

• Color Selection Assistance
  • As we narrow in on a final design, we can also start to focus on colors.
  • For this, we will use a combination of the colors on your monitor, along with the actual paint colors in the paint charts we mailed to you when you signed up.

• Detailed dimensioned drawings and Written Specifications
  • Once we have arrived at a final design, we will engineer the scheme onto your aircraft and create a detailed set of dimensioned drawings to 1/8" or 1mm along with written specifications.
  • These will be sent to you as a PDF via e-mail, and if we have the information, to your paint shop as well.
  •  
• Non-Design Assistance
  • We will help you locate suitable paint shops based on your location, aircraft type, design complexity and our knowledge of paint shops in the industry.
  • Your paint shop can call us at any time for assistance should it be necessary when they are laying out the paint scheme.

What is Not Included

• 3D Drawings
  • 3D drawings are time consuming and complex, and are not included in the Custom Program Design Fee.
  • We charge an additional fee for clients that request 3D drawings.
  • Additional Services are only provided upon request.
  • Static 3/4 view renderings against a particular scheme cost an additional $250.00. Design Service
  • Dynamic 3D drawings, where you can rotate the aircraft onscreen to view it from any angle cost an additional $1,000.00. This program includes a rotating 3D model of your aircraft which will be uploaded to your design web site. We will also produce 2 or 3 photorealist renderings of the aircraft in flight.

• Specification Revisions
  • Your selection of the final design and authorization to prepare the detailed specifications package represents the conclusion of the project.
  • Except for correcting an error in preparation, if we are required to redo your specifications as a result of your changing your mind after we have completed a set of specifications based on your approval, there will be an additional fee of $250.00 each time we have to redo the specifications because of a requested redesign or new design implementation.

• Site Visits
  • Some clients require us to visit their paint shop. We charge a flat fee of $700.00 per day plus expenses to visit your paint shop to review or supervise application of the paint scheme to the aircraft.
