I do a lot of company airplane weathervanes. Just completed this drawing for a UPS pilot who used to fly the DC8.

Re: UPS DC8
Here’s the completed project. I have to realize I don’t have a high def plasma or laser when drawing these up. I left at least .060 between all areas and came close to burn thru on some of the areas. Some of the initial pierce holes are visible since there was not enough room for lead in lines. Used hypertherm fine cut consumables, 14 gauge steel and 150 IPM feed. Client was happy with the project.
