Default (USA) New glider inspections question

Where does one get "EXPERIMENTAL" decals? If I have to go to FastSigns
they'll misspell it, just like they did 2UNO.



I printed my own and covered it with clear shelf paper. It's looking
a bit tired after 5 years but it was good enough at the time. The
minimum height must be met but there seems to be no limitation on
character width. I've seen some creative narrow fonts used to reduce
the placard length.

BTW I was talking with a DAR last week while he was waiting to get all
the paperwork to issue an experimental ticket on a large transport
category aircraft. He was an ex FAA inspector but he assured me there
was no regulation that required all DAR's to have been FAA
inspectors.
