the applicable FAR:

 (b) When
marks include only the Roman capital letter “N” and the
registration number is displayed on limited, restricted or light-sport category
aircraft or experimental or provisionally certificated aircraft, the operator
must also display on that aircraft near each entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or
pilot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more than 6 inches high,
the words “limited,” “restricted,”
“light-sport,” “experimental,” or “provisional,”
as applicable.

<span style='font-size:

where I need some help.

<span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>As we all know, experimental catagory aircraft need to say
"Experimental" on them.  At one point I read where and how the
lettering needed to be affixed to the aircraft, but I can't seem to locate it
just now.





<span style='font-size:

<span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Can anyone steer me toward the rules regarding the size and placement
of the lettering?
