Help
All this is giving me a headache.
I'll need the N number for the DAR and plan to paint after a 25-50 hour period.
Can anyone list the font, contrast, etc that they use on the do-it-yourself site?
Just trying to keep it simple.
Thanks,

1 - Select your size (I fly international a lot so went with 12")
2 - Select location (Along side the fuselage for me)
3 - Select font & color (I used Comic Sans (bold, italics), Gold with Black outline)
For details see post #7. I did a vinyl sticker 1st just to make sure I liked it, then had them painted on. YMMV

Not an RV, but you get the idea.

If it's just for the inspection and first few hours, go to Home Depot and buy some numbers, stick them on, and decide on the final version later. Or you could keep them on indefinitely if you like them.

This is actually a really good idea. Just make sure they are 3" tall.

So strictly, they should be 300mm high, un-ornamented and clearly contrast with the background.

Not quite, 30 cm is about 11.8 inches, but the ICAO text uses the words "at least .... high" so the US 12 inch marks are clearly OK under ICAO rules.
Strictly says a little bigger is OK, not the "should be".

Also remember if you put them on the fuselage, they may NOT be under the horizontal stabilizer. ref: ?45.25(b)(2).
