Gene, I have found that when I display my Sky Sprite, it is best to just put simple & short phrases on any poster. If there's too much info, it swamps the most important stuff. For most people, what I can fit on the prop card is enough: "No Rudder Pedals, Can't Spin, Doesn't Stall!" If you want to tell them lots more, I'd put it in a flyer that you can hand out to those who show lots of interest in lots of tech details. If you want to do a big poster, the following has worked for me. But with a big poster, there's the problem of wind...
