ARC/CESSNA RT-528A - Faceplate installation directions
Before you begin: Check to see if you received the proper faceplate insert. Are the numbers the same as your radio? Does it fit correctly? Although the holes and text will be the same, many faceplate manufacturers made different widths or heights of the same faceplate. (Just to make life a little more interesting)
| 1. | Have this insert installed by an avionics shop if you do not have all the proper tools, are not a qualified technician or are not sure you are capable of doing this job. |
| 2. | If your faceplate needs painting, remove it from the radio. Otherwise, go to #9. |
| 3. | For tan faceplate owners, you may want to keep the area by the two windows tan, however, if you want this section black, it will need to be removed from the radio to be painted. |
| 4. | Fill any dents with a plastic filler or similar material. |
| 5. | Lightly sand with a fine grit sandpaper for good paint adhesion. |
| 6. | Paint the faceplate with a quality paint such as Krylon's 1613 Semi-Flat Black paint. If you want a silver border around the outer rim use a Testors' silver paint stick. They are found in most hobby stores. |
| 7. | Remove the protective tape. |
| 8. | Remove the double face tape backing from the new inserts. |
| 9. | Place the new inserts onto the faceplate. Reinstall faceplate and knobs onto the radio. |
| 10. | Tell all your aircraft buddies about Aircraft Engravers and place the enclosed sticker on the metal case for future reference. |
