Greg,

My original data plate that passed was aluminum, had a sticky-back as many, many I have seen. Further, I can't recall seeing any data plate that was not aluminum. (Experimental and Certified). I suppose one could drill a hole and pop-rivet it on, but I am not clear on aluminum as not a suitable material. Is there an FAR on this?

I have the option of doing stainless steel, but it cost a whole lot more.

Please advise, because I think most all of us are wondering.
Don

My AB-DAR won't pass an aluminum data plate and also won't pass it being
applied with adhesive anything. Doesn't meet the regs in either case.
Neither will DAS FED.
