Committee Member Nick Jackson Posted August 22, 2020 Committee Member Share Posted August 22, 2020 Does anybody know a source of Dymo LetraTag compatible label tape, white on clear? (This is for those pesky Operator ID labels. I mostly use black on clear but having the alternative option of white lettering would be useful. Yes, I know hand written inside the model is OK if accessible without tools but prefer the Dymo route.) Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_r Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Alternative fairly easy option if you have an ink jet printer - either make a table in ms word or excel, change the cell background colour to whatever you want (match your surface colour?), make the font colour whatever you want scale to suit where you placing it, then print on plain paper and use clear cellotape or similar over the top (having cut it down to the minimum you need). Only uses tiny amount of ink if you keep the cell size small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikef Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 For completeness, the rules for labelling are here:- https://register-drones.caa.co.uk/labelling-your-drone-or-model-aircraft It covers size and position etc. of the OP id label. It says, 'on the main body'.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BMFA advice , see https://rcc.bmfa.uk/caa-registration is: The Operator Number must be displayed in an easily accessible location on or within the aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil.Taylor Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Laptop, Word file, print a sheet of the IDs (about 18pt - 4mm high) - chop up with scissors, stick on with Diamond Tape (yep, still got some) did all mine this evening -15 of them - mostly stuck on inner noses under nosecones (which is apparently ok) - some on the outside on white fuselages Phil.

CTR Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I got some A4 sheets of printer labels which are self adhesive. Print, peel, stick, cover with clear tape if you want, job done. Just make sure your letters are over 3mm high. Neil P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc RC pilot Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Quote How to label your drone or model aircraft Your operator ID must be: visible from the outside, or within a compartment that can easily be accessed without using a tool clear and in block capitals taller than 3mm secure and safe from damage on the main body of the aircraft You should use a removable label as your operator ID may change when you renew. You’ll need to remove your label if you’re no longer responsible for the drone or model aircraft. Always use your operator ID, not your flyer ID Could there be an issue with identity theft having ones OID out for all to see? Would it make more sense to have ones OID "within a compartment that can easily be accessed without using a tool" like the canopy hatch? Quote You should use a removable label as your operator ID may change when you renew. How about thin ID key fobs minus the metal ring ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a set this morning (paid through PayPal), hope it goes ok... I will report back when labels arrive or if they don't. Fwiw, I found this service advertised on BMFA classifieds.

Committee Member PeteMitchell Posted September 9, 2020 Committee Member Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hopefully all is OK and PayPal will sort you out if need be. From what little I know about these things, its probably that the website is not secure and you could get something you didnt ask for when you connect to it. Let us know how it goes.

SteveH Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Marc - Its not a good idea to publicise your operator ID in case it gets in the hands of some unscrupulous people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
