Placards

[bildan]

I know there has been several threads on making new glider placards to
replace old, hard to read ones. However, I think I have just found
something new that might be the best idea yet.

See: http://www.horizonsisg.com/alumajet/alumajet-inkjet-printable-aluminum.html

These days, "archival quality, UV resistant ink" is available from
most inkjet manufacturers which, with a good clear coat, should make
very durable and highly attractive labels and placards.

AlumaJet sheets aren't cheap at $60 for a 10 sheet pack but the
quality might be worth it for some.

I started using the AlumaJet for the name plates on my Craggy Aero
Ultimate Flight Computer. It requires a J path printer for the .005"
tickness or straight path printer for the thicker sheets. Most
standard printers won't work as they bend the paper 180 degrees.
Nice stuff and would work well for cockpit templates.

My thought too. I bought a production metal placard to prohibit
intentional spins in order to comply with an FAA directive from last
year. It was under $10 This was a quantity product,no doubt - it
affects all C-150s but still....
