Hi Bob !
I have found on the net that there is an english pilot
named Thomas Eaton flying a Europa (G-FLOX) with the
same prop as ours on a 2200. Do you know how I can get
in contact with him to get some info about his
experience ?
I've tried tracking him down on the net without
succes. Hope you can help.
Regards
Jesper

Gents.
I recently purchased a powder coating gun and have been experimenting with
good results. In addition I have an old used electrical kitchen oven with 4
burner top that I have been using for the cure process.
Unfortunately many of the items I would like to coat will not fit into the
standard size oven.
I seek ideas to make a lager oven. Perhaps using the stove top heating
elements?
Your ideas, experiences, and photos would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! To cure the whole aircraft to make it for a special one off job
would be expensive BUT I used my closed trailer which is lined with
spray on Agricultural Store Building Foam Insulator. However you need
to be very careful of temperature control, rate of heat sink and rate of
cooling since differential speedy cooling could wreck your dream!

Hi Brian,
I've done some powder coating,
http://www.europaowners.org/PowderCoat
And I did make a stove top unit. As you can see in the pictures. The pipe had internal
baffles to prevent hot spots. I also had three oven probes in the top
to insure even heating. After I was all done someone emailed me about changing
the metal structure, and suggested it now had the characteristics of a licorice
twizzler. The Temp I used was 350F for 17 minutes. Worried, I went over to
the engineering dept. at work and asked the metallurgist to run the numbers for
me during his lunch. The bad news was that 350 was the magic number to change
the internal structure, the good news was the 17 minutes was no where near the
required soak time. Steal parts I'd say go for it, large aluminum tubes, why
risk it, where your temp control is not precise. Small aluminum parts, short
cure times at low in the band temp. They should be fine. With proper prep the
coatings you will be putting on are a hundred times better then the powder coating
in the kit. Where as I can remove the powder co
at from my engine mount with the slightest tap. The coating I put on the tail
spring fell from and overhead shelf onto a concrete floor and doesn't have a mark
on it's two tone Sky blue to white fade.
Some tips:
Clean the part to white metal finish. I've sanded and fine sand blasted parts.
Wipe the parts with acetone then don't touch them with bare hands.
Preheat the parts in the oven then coat them hot and return to the oven.
I do love the way the parts look when completed.
