I got a box of 500 several years ago. It seemed like a lot at the time but I have less than half a box left. If I break a motor while flying I tear the envelope in two to keep from getting the motors mixed up.

  What quantity did you have to purchase? I found some online but the minimum is 500. A little more than I expect to use for a while.

  I use the 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" manila coin envelopes for my motors. Over time I've collected a bunch of motors and they have all different kinds of notes scribbled on them. I decided it would be nice to have some sort of standardized notation and that either preprinted envelopes or labels for this information would be great.



  I found a container of Avery #8163 2" x 4" shipping labels that looked just right for the job. The problem was that using the standard label formatting in Open Office didn't permit a landscape layout for the sheet that would let me print the labels in a vertical orientation to fit the envelopes. After much fiddling I got a table made that would let me do this. The attached picture is the result.



  I'll put the master document in the files section in case anyone else wants to play with it.
