This raises the possibility that stickers and other labels are not permitted by the rules. If so, the ubiquitous decals with signal flags and measurement stick-on labels are illegal. It may come down to whether these items fall under the meaning of “equipment.”
But, how hard would it be to add a new rule, say C.7.3 Other Equipment, or maybe better add line items to D.10.1(b) to explicitly permit tape, non-skid, labels, and decals?
Maybe tape, position indicating decals, signal flag decals, control labels, other markings need to be specifically permitted on each of the spars, as well.
