Paul Marsh Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 The Dymo machine in question. Was from Aldi, so should come back sometime. Think it was £10. including one cassette. Have a few, fabric, clear and white. Stored in it's own box to avoid damage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangster Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Surely the answer to the op is simple. From the definitive information given to us by the BMFA Not from all the bar stool lawyers naysayers and as stated song and dance performers on Facebook and internet forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangster Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Yes ok Steve 3. I agree that not everyone is a member of the BMFA and likewise most BMFA members will not yet have had direct correspondence from the CAA. But still the correct info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 It is, good timing, Probably the best and easiest way, as you can store your number in the memory (10 available) and print them off as and when you need them, or do a batch print, print off 10 at a time...

Dai Fledermaus Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 As tigerman said, so much has been written on this subject, the question I'm about to ask might already been answered. Like Peter Miller, I have no problem displaying my ID number on the outside, and there is a danger of making too much out of it, but could someone copy my number? I can't imagine any responsible model flyer doing it, because we are the good guys aren't we, and I can't imagine the Police ever turning up at our Club field just to check, but what's to stop someone copying an Id number, from a photograph published in a magazine or from some web site or forum like this, or indeed, making up a similar number? What means does PC Plod have to check that ID numbers are legitimate? How will he know that Dave flying his drone on that bit of waste ground hasn't `acquired` his ID I don't imagine they have a CAA database to call upon as they do with motor vehicle licence plates. Or do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel wool, COLD water. I usually soak labelled jamjars in warm water, then lightly scrape off the top surface. A little white spirit on a swab or a cloth takes off all the rest easily.

BackinBlack Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 As with many aspects of these CAA regs this is being overthought. Biro, masking tape, print number on tape, stick inside battery compartment or other removable hatch. Simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Stephenson Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I read somewhere there will be a phone app available to check CAA numbers, which seems to mean that you would be required to carry some sort of ID. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all very well if you plan ahead. My system works when the jam is made, and panic has set in to have jars to contain it. Not good on an aircraft.

So stick another label over the top of the first...or is that too obvious and simple. Sorry, I know how people just love to find complications so they can bellyache about it.

Don Fry Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Arrrr, but this is a forum for toy plane fliers. Jams and other things that come out of the jam pot is serious Peter. We are a generous lot. Jam makers are bitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangster Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 So these police officers who are going to check every toy aeroplane in the country. Are they the same ones who have to deal with the 1000000 uninsured cars in the country? And the business of the sticker on the plane that isn’t just so Will that be the same police who have to deal with the thousands of illegally spaced number plates on cars. Are they the same police who were ordered to ignore illegal CB use even when we had so many more police officers than. We have today. As for carrying documents, yes a good idea but how many of us carry our driving documents or even did before tax insurance and mot info was available on computer systems. Let’s not get carried away and overthink this business. We ain’t that important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not get carried away and overthink this business. We ain’t that important. Indeed. I ain't worrying about it - hence the reason I have passed on paying the unjust registration fee. I have my competency certificate.I have insurance. I fly responsibly and I have my contact details on every model I fly. Good enough for me. In the highly unlikely event plod ever stopped me, I believe it would be good enough for him too - they have far more important things to worry about than an old fart playing with his toy plane in some remote location not bothering anyone!

Sam Longley Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Been asked for my fishing license quite a lot of times over the years.So it is not inconceivable that there may be some inspectors appointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 30 odd thousand BFMA members. £9 apiece, say a quarter of a million quid. That's 9 inspectors, and a boss. And that is the end of the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex nicol Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 The thing is, because of the naming of this whole debacle, public perception is it only applies to drones and I'd lay odds that 99.9% of the boys in blue think the same.

I tend to agree. The average person in the street, who knows little or nothing about flying , will think that drone regulation would only apply to multi/ quad rotors. They would not see the link to model aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Gangster is about right. I was plod half a lifetime ago. I would not have noticed then. Plod is now 20 % less in numbers. Has also replaced some social services roles, and a chunk of first line psychiatric care in the community. Core plod jobs don't get done. Just don't fly near airports. They pay for their own plod.
