I've had my old paper certificate for a long time now, along with my FCC radiotelephone license, and had no desire to go to plastic. Now there is no choice in the matter. I sent in the two bucks or whatever it is, and got my new credit card certificate. I later found out that the fee is waived if you also agree to change your certificate number to a generic number instead of your social security number, so my new plastic still has my SS number on it and it cost me a couple of bucks to make the change.

A few years ago they started requiring your license to verify you can speak English. I got that taken care of at Sun-N-Fun 2 years ago. I got my first plastic card for free, as I had lost my paper one and noticed on the website they were changing your license number away from SS# and you can get a plastic version for free with this change.

I used a very similar method Dan but used leather shoe lace materials from Walmart. PS-Dan, does that combing behind you adversely affect your comfort on your upper back or shoulders ? I've spoken to a number of builders who removed that combing around the bac kside because it became bothersome once the plane was flying. Hopefully this isn't true in your case because it sure does have a fantastic look ! Mike C. PS-and Dan, I don't hate you. I can't hate a brother.

[ NEWS ] Latest News Awards / Aircraft Awards Media Room AirVenture Site Plans Lindy Aircraft Awards [cid:image001.jpg@01CAA8DD.5788C3A0]Only the best of the best can count the mselves among those lucky enough to have won the prestigious Lindy Award. Unlike other awards which recognize lifetime or professional achievement, t he only way you can earn a Lindy Award is to be judged the Grand Champion o r Reserve Grand Champion at in one of eleven competitive categories at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Named after aviation hero Charles Lindbergh, the award acknowledges the tir eless effort necessary to create an aircraft that's truly best of show. The Grand Champion in each category is presented the Golden Lindy, while the R eserve Grand Champion nets the Silver Lindy. But the Lindy Award is more than a mere beauty contest. Judges are more imp ressed by workmanship than a nice paint job and, in the case of vintage/war bird aircraft, authenticity over shiny chrome. The personality of the aircr aft owner has no bearing on the judging - the only thing that matters is th e quality of the work. This means that a Lindy Award winner possesses a bea uty that is far more than skin deep.
