Greetings Group,
While they were making my registration numbers to put on the tail, I had a local vinyl sign shop make me several sheets of circles in various sizes to fit areas I wanted to cover, i.e., speed fairing bolts, rear drag pin holes in wing root fairings, etc. With my elevator pins I had them make teardrop shapes. (more aerodynamic!). I put a thin piece of mylar cut to shape over the pip pin hole first in such a way that it just catches the edge of the hole. This keeps the vinyl from sagging into the hole in the Sun. You can make the mylar really fit well if you take the time to sand the edges sharp to get a proper fit.
Another thing I had the vinyl shop make was squared off "O" shaped stickers with the center removed. These were sized and shaped to fit over the wing inspection ports to seal them up. My wing inspection covers are made from clear plexiglass and the hole in the middle of the sticker allows for inspection without removing the cover. The cost for all the circles, teardrops and "O"'s were less than $25 for a supply that will last for years.
And it regard to how fast these will make your Europa, think scary fast......
