  • FAA regs

    Is there a easy way to get my planes and myself set up with the appropriate FAA compliance, the FAA web site isnt idiot proof for this idiot.

    You could call/visit the local airport and ask how to see the nearest FAA rep in person or if anyone there could help you navigate the website to register.

    You have to think a bit like a bureaucrat to get registered. Its not hard, but not intuitively obvious to a normal person.

    As fr labeling the airplanes, I copy-pasted my name, AMA number, FAA number and expiration dates, many times in small font, then printed that. I cut that page into strips of the information and glue a strip in the TE of an aileron, rudder or along the lower edge of the canopy. Never in a place that messes with my intended paint scheme.

    There is no requirement about font size. I didn't go to the smallest (need a magnifying glass to read) but its smaller than standard 10 point font.
    FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

    current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

        You're not likely to find FAA employees at the airport, only select airports have them.

        This link will take you right where you need to go.

              I went to Target and spent 20.00 dollars on a Dynamo electronic labler and I can make just about any size I want. Works great for alot of things.
