The words "FLY FAST - LIVE SLOW" on the flaps?
Hi folks.
A few weeks back I saw a pic here on the forum where I guy had installed two words on each flap, so they where visible when the plane was seen from the front: FLY FAST and LIVE SLOW.
I though that was a great idea, but can't find the pic again? Anyone knows where that pic is?
Also; I might change the words slightly: FLY MORE and WORK LESS or maybe someone else has ideas of which words to put on there?
Those words will be seen of the people who watch you taxi towards them, so it'd be nice that those words had some great meaning or "punch" of some kind...
Any good ideas RV'ers??

Here it is, Alf / Frog

Being a Baby Boomer, I actually think that work is intrinsically good - how about "Work Hard" on the Right flap and & "Play Hard" on the Left?

Actually, I never taxi with the flaps down. That's how paint get chipped and it increases the chance of a tip over.

Parrot Heads
Another way to display the slogan is to taxi with your flaps up and wear your "Air Margaritaville" hat. It has Jimmy's credo "Fly Fast...Live Slow". I wish he would come out with a hat that has my favorite Jimmy lyric, "Love a wealthy woman and the pretty plane she flys".
Of course you will put your VAF hat on after you shut down.

Actually the line is "love a wealthy woman---"
But, I think your idea has merit

Perhaps because of my age
I like "Fly Fast" and "Live Long".

ps. I usually taxi with the flaps up as well, but drop them when passengers are flying with me to make it easier to get in and out...
