  1. i needed to sand my hot wire after a cut or two, the pour foam was burned on and was mucking up the cut.a lite sand and all was good. i do believe the smell is very bad. out gassing is not a problem when you crush the foam joint so all the air is gone and you have just glue. we...i don't use it as a filler ,just a mastic.
  2. yep, ask never quit, he did a pair or two last month
  3. I'll add to that...continous is NOT where it get it strength from.If you do the JD stile of spar for the re-tracks you will need a planer to repair the mess.....ask me how i know. do the best you can then 6.3 years later when you are micoing the strake/wing joint just knock down or add to the spot thats offensive.
  4. be creative ! i went 4 years with no wheel,but i built a airplane wile i waited. now i have the wheels but my engine is in the way
  5. i have the fine and there is a knok off at home depo that is grate maybe even beter ! i demod it and it out cut my fine
  6. i was told the brakes are all bad, but that is a good thing because if they worked it would flip over on to the prop:p there are 2 good mods out now to help, toe in and a tail somethingerrether(?) there was 4 of them down at LV
  7. on the rental, the hobs ran off of oil presure so when the tack was down we flew the patern and saved big bucks(with the power back on landing).

    20b

    i cut the mount for the oil pick-up tube, then installed it along with the pan. o, but first, i had to revers the plate front to back so the starter flange was at the flywheel(hint). so now the mount wont clear the oil pan by over 2" if i put it back reversed it will fit fine. I'm lost. i wish i had a pic of what it should look like... girls...help
  9. i work on lots at the same time, the things in the post and i need to bolt on the engine and start welding up some enconel? and 321, build intake.i could go on,micro. but to answer your question.. wheel pant molds
  10. I'm in Tacoma WA and ill feed ya.if you think you mite, i could plan on some fun stuff or some hard stuff right now i could hot wire a wing and carve the bend(mod) or flip the bird and drill in the landing bushings either or,
  11. this is just a test post becuse the post i put here from my lap top is lost in siber space found it nm
  12. i wish all planes had a box stuck to the side with pen and paper with a sign.. all comments welcomed.... i was looking under a cowl at a firewall setup for sale (demo plane) and for kicks i counted what i felt would be a big issue in the air if not red tagged right away. " 27 do not fly me" and that was just a visual. the @@#@/flyer? was a touch arrogant and said that after the long time it had been flying that it proved it was worthy (@@@ hours). so i ask you as a grope, what do you do when you see something not-so-hot ? 2 things, one was most of the fuel lines were dragging over metal,wearing holes the other was small sender leads pulled snug all over the block, wearing thru. this plane was seen at Fla-bob airport and the owners name was billy bob and it was a pipinthal and had a bio-diesel with drop tanks and just got in from Bolivia with sheep as cargo me and a new buddy moved on to a new victim (Airbus), i don't think I'd fly this one (without looking at the oil for shavings) but the list was 2, but they were starter leads and not flit worthy so he got a 0 marks. the owner was a real trip. in closing, may we all stay lucky in love and flight
  13. i was looking at 4 dragons -flys and if you looked just right, you could see that the wings of one was angled 2" more then the plane next to it. then a guy said thats nothing, look and the wing placement....3" off. both owners think theres is in the right place (just kidding), both planes seem to fly the same. both had GU wings
  14. will water find the holes the same as hot 100LL or mogas? is this just a test because you have the top(s) off ? and you wanted a fish tank as a child ?
