I've seen pictures of several completed panels with labels placed on the top of the throttle and mixture knobs 'pull rich' or such . . . they appear to fit nicely in the recess. I don't know if these are custom or if they are available somewhere . . . any input? Thanks!
 
Aircraft Engravers

Aircraft Engravers http://www.engravers.net/ makes little inserts that fit in the engine control cables. http://www.engravers.net/aircraft/custom-placards.htm

I needed to tell him the diameter and when I got them they fit perfectly. Wayne is great to work with and his products look great at a very reasonable cost. Off topic, but I replaced all my P-touch labels with engraved labels for about $75 and they look 1000% better then the P-touch.

Brother PT-65

Okay, not fancy, but I use a Brother model PT-65 label maker fm Office Depot for misc airplane labels, household, etc. Different color (taoe) backgrounds avail, size and type of font, etc.. Will do in a pinch for legality sake, until you get something fancier, and if you must.
 
Do you have to label the throttle/prop/mixture? Especially if they are standard direction and proper knobs? My other controls are/will be labeled, such as "Pull Purge" for the injector and directional arrows for the elevator trim.

Hmmm, maybe I should label the sticks and pedals too. And put left/right labels on my shoes... ;)
 
Each DAR may be a little different, but I got dinged on not having my throttle, prop and mixture controls labeled. I used the standard push-pull type so I thought I was covered. Oh well, no biggie...I just whipped out my p-touch label maker on the spot and problem solved.
 
Got mine from Aircraft Engravers

My DAR wanted all the engine controls and electrical switches labeled (I had Aircraft Engravers do all my lables - highly recommended). I hadn't yet put the stickers on my trim indicators, and he asked me to do that before first flight.
I didn't do the pedals or shoes - maybe he's slipping :rolleyes:
 
They are all different

My DAR did not care about having the throttle, prop and mixture labeled. He made the comment in jest, that if I needed those labeled I should pick up another hobby other than flying. I was ready with my label maker just in case.

Seriously, why do those need to be labeled? My VOR head, EFIS and radio stack aren't labeled.
