Subject: | Baggage Bay Upper Fuselage Attachment |
I'm trying to minimise the amount of redux and work needed to get a good job gluing
on this top. It aint for some time yet, but I'd like to bond in my extended
baggage bay floor, and bulkhead. I can do this but then it sticks up in the
breeze acting as a nuisance. I've already layed up flanges on the arched section
to mate with the roof, but what I'd really like to do is cut it off, and bond
it on later, once the top is on. It will be easy as I'll just redux it in
as one piece, and then I only need to do strapping patches both front and back
of the cut areas. Does anyone see anything wrong with doing this?

Subject: | Door closed switches |
> Well, it's taken a long while but I seem to have my doors on. Ironically I have
a worse outcome on the left door, even though I did it second. I don't think
it is actually my fault that it kicks out at the back, and I am tempted to either
do massage with a hot air gun but feel it might be quite a hard thing to
do properly due to the U shaped internal door section. I'm actually scared to
try, however I have thought when I post cure it all I might reverse things and
lock in the back shoot bolt, and intentionally distort the door by leaving the
front shoot bolt outside of the aircraft. Fingers crossed at 50+ degrees C
it might relax enough so I get a square outcome. So, that's the grand plan but
I have been reading an article Nigel Charles wrote for the LAAA regarding upgrading
a panel, where he talks about warning lights for doors not closed properly.
The majority may not have these but it is my luck that if I don't fit something
I will lose a door. To this end therefore, I am requesting advice on what
type of switch, and maybe where they can be sourced please.
Whilst I am at it, I didn't thank those that offered advice as to what I should
do to preserve my 7 year old Rotax, still in it's original box. So thanks to
them, and same to anyone in advance who can offer learned wisdom re this next
issue.

Both are true, Expancell is lighter and easier to sand, especially if you
=0Alubricate the resin with Cabosil (colloidal silica) and increase the mic

Jim,
I prefer high quality car wax (brand name Autoglym High Gloss).
Look at my wing!

What wax are builders liking on their airplanes? I keep mine hangared
but the hangars are full of spiders and it RAINS spider crap in them.
It will wash off with soap and water, but I should probably protect the
finish.

Subject: | Re: Monowheel Main wheel tubeless |
I assume IMHO tubeless is not possible because the trim has two halves.
Maybe you do not want to glue the halves together...
I am looking for a pressure gauge controller /sender unit which will be
installed direct to the valve and is small enough to be there.

Does anyone have informations on this subjetc.
It is an important topics because with this type of wheel it is possible
to install a pressure gauge controller.

Hi Raimo,
The gap between tire/wheel and Fork is to small the minimum size required is about
50/60 mm.
And it is impossible to connect the pressure controller!...
It is for this reason I ask this question, with tubless wheel it is possible to
include pressure controller into the tire, fixed around the wheel.

Very expensive switch, but sealed and very nice.
