Belite Aircraft offering optional dragon inspired paint scheme on its factory assembled models & kits

Press releaseIssued by the company.

Belite Aircraft is breathing a little life or in this case, fire into its marketing effort at this year's Sun N Fun Fly-In & Expo by unveiling a clever and extremely attractive paint scheme for its Belite 254, Superlite and Trike Part 103 aircraft that has the distinctive appearance of a dragon in flight. The Wichita, Kansas-based manufacturer takes pride in being innovative, responsive to customers and extremely open to considering ways it can improve its products' market performance or competitive position ... both now and in the future. That's why they chose to "loose the dragon" at their exhibit space, LP35 in the Light Aircraft Exhibit Area, during the annual Sun N Fun event in Lakeland, Florida from April 13-18.

The detailed vinyl graphics are being displayed on a Belite Superlite. The colorful artistry can be applied to a factory assembled aircraft or kit built version, according to Belite CEO James Wiebe, who commissioned the project. "Dragons seem to be enjoying a certain degree of popularity right now, so we decided to create one. We suggested it to our graphic design firm, Insight Design in Wichita, Kansas, and they came up with the incredible design that has exceeded our wildest expectations."

Wiebe indicated that the decal package can be ordered, fully installed on a factory assembled Belite aircraft for $3995. It can also be purchased separately for $3495 for homebuilders.
