Ok i am at http://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=15 discussing my near future exhaust system and asked the question of the best material for head to turbo, turbo to intercooler and turbo to fresh air. Seeing as john thought he burned up his turbo, red red red hot, and didn't, it appears that the material from head to turbo is very important. looks like thick wall 316 SS or inconell steel, now i just need to find the bends to fabricate it all? Now this subject is useful for what ever bird you are flying/building, not just a cozy, if you are going to turbo it, then you need an exhaust and the more people we get involved with the subject, the better, so please reply with your thoughts at the site above. oh, i think it also relates to a rotary, wether it is turboed or not, it appears to have a very hot exhaust John slade is doing a fantastic job of supporting, this forum, the one above, the rotary list and the electrical list, and his web site, i can't do all that and think the best place for this conversation and all engine and electronic/electrical/instruments is at homebuilt airplanes. Don't worry, i'm still here, to support cozy related topics, wether you like me or not, he he he enjoy the build dust

Maybe you just tied them on with a knot enjoy the fiddlin dust

For all of those thinking of coming to plane day, cmon down, we are getting closer and closer to being done with the fabrication and the work we are doing now covers a whole range of skills. fabricating insides of strakes glassing the outside of strakes installing hard points thin micro, thick micro, flox, filling pores, 5 min sheets together, taping joints, making flanges, installing flanges, curving foam for strakes, good easy stuff and encompasses almost all of the fabricating work to be done on a cozy. Drive, fly or walk in. we need "plane days" from coast to coast, what ever continent your coast to coast is on. enjoy the build dust

Well, this week we had to initiate a new slave, i mean helper, he found me on the http://www.homebuiltairplanes.com forum and quickly emailed me to come and hold a corner while we worked, no corner holdin allowed, he worked. The mornoing went slowly, put the right wing on plane two and as soon as we let go of it, the nose broke loose of the front saw horse, we had attached the rear saw horse too far forward and the weight of the wing, the weight of the battery and 40 lbs of salt on the other side of the spar broke the front loose and the plane did a small wheele, so we added 40 lbs of nose ballast, bondoed a 2x4 under the tail and all is good. by lunch all we had accomplished was mixing allot of bondo and reattaching the plane to the floor and the strake table to the plane. After lunch we started to hit out stride, one additional helper/slave showed and a graduated slave/now a builder walked in. We already have all of the foam rough cut for these tqwo strakes, finish fit the bottom foam in place and mike, mike and tom went to the shop to lay up the inside bottom strake. While they did that, thane and i finished up the top outside strake on plane one and started up the layup. what do you know, with all of the help, we actually got done what i hoped to today, bottom inside glass and top of a strake enjoy the build dust, also a mike, had a 50% ratios of mike's today

how about the crank handle for the nose gear enjoy the build dust

Clifford made GREAT rotiseries for us, welded bed frame angles, cheep steel, with 1/2 in square tube on top with a nut welded on and drilled through to lock fuselodge in any position and screwed 1/2" pipe flange to each end of fuselodge with 1/2 inch pipe into the 1/2" square tube, all of it mounted onto 12 and 10 foot 2x4's clifford, you got a pic you can post of your great work enjoy the build dust

ok, i figured it out, the flaking off was a little epoxy thet was on the plastic, non event, it was not a epoxy void glass spot it was the rest of the buble that formed between the plastic and the layup. you will also get marks like this from peel ply creases and bobles enjoy the build, take a deep breath, relax dust

and even better at 25000 he he he enjoy the build dust

To me that just looks like there was a small bubble in the plastic, it looks fine, if you hit the area and the surrounding area with a little sand paper, it will all look the same, it doesn't look "white, like no epoxy, just a buble and the weave is showing instead of compressed fiber surface. enjoy the build dust

Sorry, saw wax, read wax, am stupid, please accept my appology enjoy the build dust

i would stop using wax paper, wax paper degrades and I don't like the possibility of wax contamination. I would use the 6 or 4 mil plastic on the bench or the plastic coverred butcher paper. enjoy the build dust

hank, are you going to buy or make metal parts, guess what i am sugesting? You could also go to chap 8 and make headrests, or go to all of the chapters and make jigs and templets and and and and, he he he parts is parts, hours is hours enjoy the build dust

of course, this saturday it is time to fit lower strake foam and glass the inside of it and maybe glass outside top of a strake or two enjoy the build dust

yes enjoy the build dust

cmon, cmon new builders, tell us we are eithor Full of %$&@ or right about the ease of chapter 4, i can take it enjoy the build dust

we just hang the part over the edge of the bench and make multiple cuts going around. Dem were your parts, but you can't have them enjoy the build dust

I know, I know, same story repeated and repeated, BUT, many are willing to plumb hot engine oil to a heater in the front near you peetses, high preasure air conditioning lines to the same place and don't want to use a simple double throw valve to controll the fuel, because of a few AN fitings and the remote possibility of a leak the reason that the used double throw valves are so cheep from the salvage yard is that there is no demand for them, they just keep working and are rarely replaced, the items that have demand actually go for 1/2 new cost. My buddy bought a used prop control switch, elec controlled prop, for 75 buckos and a new one, available in a week was 150.00. the darn switch was 45 years old! enjoy the build dust

Learned this years ago on the listserv. the wings are heavy on the back side of the spar, we did two things 1 two level blocks bondoed onto spar for future level reference, both back to front and left to right 2 installed spar down in the front by .2 degree, when the wings are attached, the weight of the wings makes the spar level after wing attachment. enjoy the build dust

Hey, you are making progress, you are on page 2 now, just trying to get the forum back to plain plane building, thats what we are here for isn't it? I thin MT should spend more time on chap 1 instread of chap 21, he he he enjoy the build dust

geeeze another slow start, only two of the three builders showed, so dave went on with installing the flight controlls and i sanded the spar attach tapes, only thousands of swords waiting to rip and stab you at the slightest brush with them. After about an hour of this mike forum and plane builder showed up and we went to the basement and started cutting up all of the ribs for the next two tanks, how does it take so long, we have templets for all of the complex shapes and it still took all day to cut the 16 templets, They sure looked good sitting there ready to be final fited in the tanks. enjoy the build dust
