Up there is my starboard rudder.

Is this the logo some of you were talking about to identify original EPO?
What does the 864 means?

I'm currently in the process of repairing them, there's a video that's been previously posted about the process and Im going to emulate it.

Will tell you how it goes.

Have a great day

Yes, looks like very old EPO.

864? I didn't remember, so asked my historian... he doesn't recall, but thinks maybe it was related to 18, 16, 14?

I believe those were the first ones when they first came out, but very soon changed to the smaller sticker. Someone told me back then that the numbers had something to do with a NACA foil shape.
