    Subject: Re: Duckworks lenses cracking
    Save some money and go and buy some plexi. Put it in your oven and warm it up slowly till it bends. Wrap it around your existing cracked lens to form it and whala, you're done. Make several, they're cheap. Shemp 6a Ralph E.

    Just why would anyone want to label the TPM controls. FAR's suggets color and shape constraints, not labeling. I fought a battle with my AB-DAR on this issue. He could site no FAR that required labeling, just that 'we've always done it'. I have no labels on mine. If you don't know how to use the controls, you shouldn't be flying the airplane.

    Subject: Prop control label
    From: "Chuck Jensen" <cjensen@dts9000.com>
    Konrad, If someone unfamilair with an aircraft starts it without first doing a fairly thorough familiarization, the throttle should be labeled "By the time you take the time to read this, you will be S.O.L." Labels are for a person familiarizing himself with a craft, not for identifying critical flight controls while burning gas.

    MessageHi Chuck, I fully agree with you, but my friend made a mistake due to stress (while still on the ground & before even burning gas). He was very familiar with the airplane as he built the whole engine conversation and knew very well were the throttle position should have been for starting. Please re-read my post once more, because I did NEVER said that labeling is very helpful for inflight emergencies, which do come up on occasion...

    OK, let me try this again... For THOSE OF YOU who have LABELS on YOUR prop controls, what does it say? I did NOT ask for a discussion regarding WHY, just the simple question. Zero info so far. Does this simply indicate no one is willing to stick their necks out here for fear of a political roast? (I know, dumb question- I've been here a loooong time) Believe me, I understand- if this is the case, please respond off-list- my direct e-mail is _fiveonepw@aol.com_ (mailto:fiveonepw@aol.com) I AM including a label and simply curious what would be most appropriate! C'mon, guys- this has nothing to do with primer... Mark do not archive ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
