Hi Johnny,

Glad you like it.

The easyest and quickest way would be for you to save the pic frome post #10 (feel free to use it) by clicking the pic and save as jpg.
Then go online to a local printshop and order one in the size and material you like.
That way you won't be paying for overseas shipping and so on.

Good luck with it,

Like the designs! I used to own a sign shop in CA - this is not an expensive pad to have printed if you shop around. If you can get a design in any common graphics program they can simply copy it and print in full color on heavy duty vinyl. Add 4 grommets and you can peg it down if needed (doubtful, as heavy duty vinyl should be heavy enough). It will also roll or fold easily without damage. This is easy for them and should not cost more than $20 - $25 - about 2' x 2' and the sign shop can advertise them as well since they can print 3 or 4 across each pass of the vinyl/printer. One color or multiple colors cost the same, as does the time to print etc. Shop around a little - you will likely find they will have a "standard" charge for printing by the square foot etc. Quality of the vinyl (heavy/light) and ink are the cost factors. Let me know, I am planning on shopping around Phoenix/Casa Grande - maybe one sign shop can provide tons of them and include shipping to get the (lots) of business out there!!

Thanks!
I initially thought the same about the rubber having memory so ive done some tests with it rolled up over some time, when I unravelled the mat it instantly sprung out flat again. Seems to react well.

I could also punch some neat holes as an option in case it is a little too windy.

If you punch holes, I hope you put metal grommets in to keep them from tearing out!

Looking good getoutandplay,

I'm glad to be of help. Still waiting on my bird tho.
Should be an easy targit for a precision landing now, have you tested that yet?
Please share the footage if you do a successful precision landing.

Now go out and play

Haha....I haven't gone out to test yet only because it is a fairly gusty day today. Maybe this evening the winds will die down a bit. I will definitely follow back up with some test footage!

View attachment 836 This is what I have designed for myself while I wait for my mavic.
I have my own sign writing business so I will print this when I get a minute.
The material I will use has a 5mm thick rubber base with a fabric surface which i can directly print onto.
The rubber will give a little bit of cushioning and it can be rolled up and will lie flat when opened out.

Nice job!!!

Love it ..... I purchased a 3' x 4' x 3/8" reconstituted rubber matt from a local farmer/rancher supply that they use in horse trailers for $ 26 and I think I'll take down to sign shop to see if they can do your design. That would be cool ... if you have no objections. The mat I purchased is suitable for places where weeds and uneven vegetation blanket the ground because the weight would tend to flatten the area.

I would say this shows some pretty good precision landing! On each landing I took off and climbed to around 40ft and then flew away a few hundred yards before hitting RTH. The design looks great. Here's the footage:

I am not sure which pad in this thread you are referring to. But if it is the blue/white one then see post #48 which gives permission to use the image that you can download from #10. Then post #50, as well as another one or two, has the link to an option for an online banner company that you can have make it for you.
