Default FAA Inspection for New Airworthiness

For placards, scan them from the manual into (name your computer
program of choice, I used Acrobat). Fill in any blanks (N number,
serial number, weights, etc) and save the file. E-mail or take the
file on a USB stick to your local sign shop and have them print on
something tough like adhesive vinyl. Get duplicates made, they're
cheap.
If you have an LS glider, the airspeed indicator must be marked with
the various red lines.
If there is a compass installed, make a compass correction card too.
You may be senselessly required to have a pitot/static check done.
Old EXP op limits were nice and simple. Don't expect either of your
new ones and you won't be disappointed.
