Temporary Vinyl N-Numbers
Has anybody had any experience with temporary N-numbers for flying in and out of Canada? My concern is the ability of the n numbers to stay on the side of the airplane as well as the ease of moving them without damaging the paint on the plane.
I want to make a trip up to alaska and only have 3 inch letters on my plane. I found a website called numbers.com that sells them for $60.00. Any suggestions?

Shoe polish. Not pretty but cheap and temporary.

Not Needed for Canada
Unless you are crossing an ADIZ you don't need them...

Peel trucks at work all the time. Fresh vinyl is easy to remove.

Peel Trucks
Dan what do you mean by Peel Trucks? So If I fly up the AL-Can Highway I don't need them?

My 3" N numbers are also vinyl and they are over 20-years old and 3,000+ flying hours.
IF you want 12" Vinyl registration marks for ADIZ flight then remove them, the permanent ones Sporty's sells are / were $35 a set. They come off without a lot of work using a hair dryer.

I have used blue painters tape several times. Surprisingly it doesn't blow off.

Alcan
If you don?t cross an ADIZ, which you won?t on the Alcan, 3 inch numbers are fine. I?m planning on crossing from Cut Bank to Lethbridge next Friday. Three inch numbers.

I mean I'm a truck dealer, and we remove vinyl letters and wrap from used trucks all the time. I would not be concerned about removing vinyl N-numbers less than a year old, more if the aircraft is hangared.
