Dick; I'm the one who is offering brass dataplates (info at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/dataplate.html ) but they don't include space for the builder's name and aren't intended to meed the FAR requirements for the permanent data plate that is to be affixed to the airframe. They are intended more for installation in the cockpit, in front of the passenger on the "glove box", or similar, to impart that old-timey feel. But if you want one, shoot me your snail mail address offline and there will be one in the mail to you tomorrow.I had 100 of these plates made up and have only sold about 1/4 of them, so if anyone wants one, info is on that webpage. I won't make a living selling them but wouldn't mind recouping my investment. I plan to take them with me to any fly-in I might attend, such as Brodhead, Urbana, Sun 'n' Fun, etc.Oh, and to the person from Kitplanes who was asking about unique cockpits, William Wynne's instrument panel was carbon fiber and would have been of some interest just for that 'look'. I have a digital image of the panel, but it's very low quality since it was a scan of a photo.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.netOne-click access to Hotmail from any Web page download MSN Toolbar now! http://clk.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200413 ... ______Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2004 11:04:35 -0600
