Sure, I want to know what the part number is, but these little beasts attract dirt and grease, and don't like to come off cleanly. In case I'm not the only person, I have posted the method I'm using to remove the paper stickers: http://www.anemicaardvark.com/Z601XL/ This method removes them with relative ease, and even gets rid of the residue left by the adhesive. -- ============================================ Do not archive. ============================================ Jim B Belcher BS, MS Physics, Math, Computer Science A&P/IA Retired aerospace technical manager Happiness is a belt-fed weapon ============================================ ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:55:13 AM PST US From: "Craig Payne" Subject: RE: Zenith650-List: Removing those &()^^)^%$ paper part number stickers Just do what ZAC does in the quick-build-kits: leave them on and build them into the plane :-) -- Craig -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith650-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith650-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Jim Belcher Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 10:32 AM zenith-list@matronics.com Subject: Zenith650-List: Removing those &()^^)^%$ paper part number stickers I may be the only person who finds those little paper part number stickers on Zenith parts particularly annoying.

Foreign Object Damage (FOD). The adhesive on the stickers will eventually release, and the sticker will fall off. When it does, it can jam controls and cause similar problems. 2. The adhesive on the sticker attracts dirt and other trash. It can contribute to corrosion, some of it in areas that aren't visible. 3. Weight. An individual sticker doesn't weigh much, but all the stickers in the airplane weigh something. 4. They (in my view) look tacky, no pun intended. ============================================ Do not archive. ============================================ Jim B Belcher BS, MS Physics, Math, Computer Science A&P/IA Retired aerospace technical manager Happiness is a belt-fed weapon ============================================ ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:44:16 PM PST US From: Larry H Subject: Re: Zenith650-List: Removing those &()^^)^%$ paper part number stickers Jim, I find using Lacquer Thinner works just the same too. I think its just as volatile as MEK though.
