Does any one know a source for fuel filler placards that say "100LL only" ?
I got a couple from aircraft spruce and they are much bigger than they need
to be. It's the circular, doughnut-shaped type of placard. The placard is
6" in diameter - you could read it from 20 feet away. I've looked for
something smaller, but haven't come up with anything yet. I thought Vans
would sell something appropriate, but if they do, I can't find it in the
on-line catalog.

IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY I GOT SOME REAL SMALL LABELS AS PART OF AN EAA
EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT CERTIFICATION PAPERWORK PACKET. THERE WERE ALL KINDS
OF INSTRUMENT PANEL LABELS AND SOME SMALL RECTANGULAR FUEL TANK "100 LL"
LABELS. I EVENTUALLY HADE MY FILLER CAPS ENGRAVED WITH "100 LL - 21 GALS."
INCIDENTALLY - THE FILLER CAP TENSION IS ADJUSTABLE. BE CAREFUL HOW MUCH
TENSION YOU CRANK INTO THEM - TOO MUCH AND YOU'LL SNAP THE PINS - THEY'RE
ROLLED AND NOT SOLID. IF YOU SNAP THEM THEY'RE EASILY REPLACED WITH CUT
DOWN SHANKS FROM 1/16" DRILL BITS.

I had mine engraved WITHOUT my N number. IF they fall off in flight and hi
t someone=2C it will not be traceable back to me.
Others had good answers.
Brother Label makers make good labels that meet the FAA requirement=2C they
last a long time plus are cheap to replace.

| Subject: | MT prop paint problem? |
About a year ago, I had my MT prop overhauled. Amazingly, it had been
6 years. The prop life is time-limited, I believe because grease
gradually seeps out and there are no grease fittings to replace it.
Grease certainly has come out of my prop and sure enough some of the
internal bearings were wearing and had to be replaced.
Now for the problem ... the paint keeps coming off. I have had the
prop repainted 3 times and it needs a fourth. Each time the prop has
to be pulled and shipped to the repair facility, resulting in 2 weeks
or more downtime. This is far more practice than I wanted in removing
and re-installing the prop!
As best I can tell, flying through (very light) rain is what does it.
The paint seems fine for a few months until I do a little IFR, then
the paint on the tips are eroded. It looks hideous and I wonder if it
does anything to the balance, though I can't detect any difference.
Has anyone else had similar issues?
