Instrument Panel Placards and Labels
Today I went to Sign*A*Rama and ordered the N
Numbers for the tail. The registration
number (N Number) is N419AJ. The sign
company is going to make 2-sets of the registration number so I can put them on
both sides of the vertical stab. These
will be temporary for the inspection/certification. I will have them make the permanent numbers
in a maroon color after I pick the paint color at the painter's. I also went by the Trophy Case and ordered a
plastic name badge with the registration number engraved to mount on the
instrument panel. This will be a
1"x3" black plastic badge without the back so I can attach it to the
panel above the SkyView display. When I
got to the hangar I began installing the placards and labels on the instrument
panel. I put the black, red and silver
RV-12 placard on the upper portion of the center panel. I think it looks pretty good there. I also installed the other labels on the
throttle, cabin heat knob, auto pilot disconnect switch, choke, etc.
