Hi guys,

Ours ended up under the HS like Chuck & DJ, with a backing plate on the other side of the fabric.

One addition on ours is this; regarding the little quote..."....or lost or destroyed in an accident...."........ A small metal strap which is riveted through the backing plate on both ends and looping around a fuselage tube. Apparently the issue is the authorities want to be able to figure out who it used to be in the event of a complete smoking hole.......don't know if all DARs would expect this or not - I am thinking there are degrees of regulatory discretion which occur on this and other issues.

One little point - I made the mistake of having "first name - last name" the plate while my registration had "last name - first name" - I was advised they had to be identical and it is easier to change the plate than the registration - make sure you have that right so you don't have to drill SS rivets out of the plates over fabric.....


Sincerely

Dave S
