Subject: | Re: Ampreg crytalised |
Hi Graeme,
The Ampreg goes ''gritty'', bit like frog sporn, or School Dinner semelina
even at room temp [ 17 to 20C], it needs to be warmed above that to let the
''grit'' disperse. Then you have the problem of the pot life being reduced
..................... when warm it wets the cloth out easier, but you will
have to mix very small batches.
I was never a fan of the Ampreg 20, the 21 is worse in every respect, but i
t is the only game in town when building under LAA control.

Subject: | Airmaster VHF interference. |
Hi Folks,
I have just replaced my original Airmaster prop controller (AC100) with the upgraded
AC200 which uses the magnetic speed sensor and brush unit.
This appears to be causing interference to my VHF transmissions. The receiving
stations report distortion and breaking up, which is also apparent on the sidetone.
I am led to believe it is the prop because the interference goes away if the engine
is stopped or the sensor unit is disconnected. I substituted an ICOM receiver
for the original Bendix/King one, and it is better but not cured.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, and if you have, have you managed to sort
it?
All the Best, Paddy

Mike,
Try balances.com if you wish to purchase scales. You can search by weight range
and sort by price.
Just off the top of the head (and it's getting pretty thin up there), for a conventional
gear, two 500 pounders and a 100 pounder should be adequate unless you
have a really heavy Europa.
For instance, you can get a Siltec PS500L digital scale for $169.95 and the Siltec
PS100L digital scale is $149.95. That's $489.85 for the three you'd need.
If that's too much for your wallet right now, check your local EAA chapter, they
may have a set of scales to loan/rent. Or find other homebuilders on your airport
who may have access to scales for loan/rent.

Hi Paddy,
I know some of the older controllers produced a lot of interference and
they were subsequently modified. Suggest you contact Airmaster, you could
have one of the older ones.

Mike,
I played on balances.com for a bit and on a 400 lb search I found a Siltec 440LB
GS1 digital scale for $78.95. It's a bathroom scale but three of them ($236.85)
would probably do the job as long as your aircraft is under 900 lbs and you
are careful getting the mains onto the scale.

Whats the best way to handle the extra thickness where the top and bottom cowl
over lap and bolt onto the firewall side. The extra thickness looks naff. I was
going to bolt through them both but I could remove the lower cowl for an inch
or so and bolt through the top or bolt through both by making a slot in the
fuselage about an 1/8th deep. Views?

Hi Graeme,
If the fuselage is filled and painted, cut away the overlapping part of the
lower cowl, if not filled yet, cut a ''window'' into the firewall joggle,
tape the cowl with packing tape [ to release] and fit both cowls together,
and do a 6 Bid lay up to close off the hole.

Subject: | Ampreg crytalised |
Hello Graeme,
Ampreg 21 seems to crystallise much more easily than Ampreg 20. Last
year I
found that it was quite common for the resin to become thick and lumpy
when
getting towards the bottom of the tin, and sometimes it wouldn't pour at
all
' especially if none had been used for several weeks. The
manufacturer said
it could be restored by heating above 50=B0C for long enough to make
sure that
there were no crystals left, otherwise it would soon re-crystallise. An
hour was certainly sufficient. Once restored, it is fully usable without
any
reduction in shelf life. Such restoration can be repeated as necessary
problem should recur.
I have not tried warming resin that has already been mixed with
hardener, as
Nev suggests below, but I would regard this as a recovery measure to
avoid
throwing away material that would otherwise be unusable. You would also
run
an increased risk of exotherm as well as reduced pot life.
If you just want to get on with a small job you could, as an alternative
to
heating the whole tin of resin, warm enough resin in a mixing pot by
placing
it in a bowl of hot water and stirring until it is all clear. You could
then
let it cool to workshop temperature (20-25=B0 C is recommended for
composite
work) before mixing with hardener.
Good luck!
Mike
