These come with a clear plastic shield over them to protect them from oil dirt, etc. The pack sells for about a buck I think. The best place to post these are under the wing, center section.

It has your name, address and AMA number all pre-printed for you!

Status: offline 		One caveat: I know of a case in which a model was kept by an otherwise well-meaning finder because he didn't know to take the wing off to find the label. The finder may not know what the AMA number means, either. On a sport plane, I put a clear address return label on the fuse under the stab or under the stab itself, where almost no one sees it, unless they are looking for some i.d. John

I don't even remember where I first heard this tip. It certainly wasn't something I came up with, but when I heard it I thought of how simple and effective it is.

Status: offline 		I use the nice labels sold by the AMA. I think they cost $1.25 for ten. They're more than just your name and address... they say something about the plane being an experimental aviation model, and not to surrender it to anyone until they show proof of identification. The way it's all written, I think it betters the odds of the finder attempting to return it.

Happy New YEar!

Status: offline 		Here is a tip if you are building an airplane.

If you have a laser printer(xerox copy will work also) you can print your name and address on a piece of paper. Then lay this face down on a piece of wood in your airplane. Use a iron (monokote iron will work) and iron the name into the wood. Looks just like you burned it in with a wood engraver. Place it in a few hideaway places. Then cover with epoxy or some other fuel proof clear paint.

Wouldn't this mean that the name and address would be backwards?

You have to reverse print it.

Sorry

"Oopps, I couldn't read the name and address because it was backwards. So sorry I couldn't return it
