Subject: | 5th Texel Fly-In - Sept. 6, 7 and 8 |
Just a quick reminder for those who have not yet signed up: the biggest rallye
in The Netherlands will be held from Friday, Sept. 6th till Sunday, Sept. 8th.
on Texel International Airport.
As of now only a handfull (7) of Europa's have signed up, I can't imagine this
number won't go up quickly after this reminder... [Wink]
If you are planning to visit, please sign up at: http://www.flyin.nl
PS
I won't be flying PH-MZW to Texel, instead I will be my brother's passenger in
his Pulsar, planning to touch down at EHTX around mid-afternoon. Looking forward
to meet many of you!

What paint finish and manufacturer have others found successful?
I am thinking mid grey for the main fibreglass and a lighter grey for the aluminium
sub-panels (factory-supplied). Anodising turns out brown on this alloy, otherwise
I'd have done that.
I hear that satin is a good finish (gloss is too reflective and matt gathers dust
and greasy fingermarks, so soon looks patchy and ugly - a bit like me...)
Obviously I need a UV-resistant paint and Plasti-kote make a good range, their
Super being well-recommended. Only problem is they do a light grey satin and a
black satin... the only mid grey is gloss or matt.
Have others found any problem with black as a main panel colour, or with matt as
a finish texture?
So, choices.... the best finish (satin) in the "wrong" colour (black) or the best
colour (grey) on the "wrong" finish (matt)?
Grateful for any answers.
Photo of panel so far, if it helps to picture the problem...

Hi Paul,
Your considerations are all spot on. Let me add another - heat absorption.
Unless you live in Scotland, if you use a very dark color like black, the inside
of your panel will get quite toasty. Consider an active ventilation system to
protect those fine electrical gadgets!

Hi
I have just recently painted my panel with rust-oleum textured spray paint a
nd covered the aluminium sub panels with a carbon fibre wrap.
I have attached a couple of pictures showing my panel.
Kind regards
Donald

Hi! All,
you may remember we =93 our family =93 purchased last summer
an AN-2 to build us a flying summer home and to locate it to our plot in
SAP (Siljansn=C3=A4s Airpark) in Sweden.
We had some difficulties like those ever lovely bureaucrats and
technical also but finally it=C2=B4s completed. So far it is positioned
beside museum/restaurant =93 our plot is not usable so far.
This film has been shown in Finnish State TV a week ago:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g22epbajudsdria/AST_asuntolentokone_Loikkanen.m
p4
Later, one Lady Journalist flew in my Europa from Finland to Sweden and
made this films:
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKpB9aNUXH4>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKpB9aNUXH4
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9eafggBtfo>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9eafggBtfo
Please do not share or publish these before 29th of August 2013.
That=C2=B4s the date they will publish a full story in the 2nd biggest
newspaper in Finland.
So far, we have lived there two weeks including whole family with two
daughters, a dog and a cat. Everything operates lovely and this is
clearly one of the best things we have ever done as a family. It=C2=B4s
fully equipped, there is also a cooling and warming systems. We have
usable el-power 2300 Watts and that all we need, so far.
BTW we call it as an Air Camper =93 that was something from Frans
Veldman =93 thanks Frans!
You are all welcome to our =9CAntsu=9D Air Camper =93
so far our guest room is a tent only beside ac =93 but we have
some future plans but they are too wild to report too early...
Here is a link you can see it live (about from 1600 to 1900 Zulutime
it=C2=B4s nav lights are in jubileum mode, other time just normally):
