Subject: | Re: Curing of Flying Surfaces |
Tony,
Been away on a short vacation via my Europa. You need to finish to enjoy the flying!
Anyway, go to http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=60876 to see what I did to cure my surfaces. I used two fairly small electric space heaters, one placed low on one end and one placed high on the other. I used an electronic thermometer with two inputs so I could monitor the heat in two locations to confirm proper thermal environment. Darn thing worked great.
Just another idea for you.
Blue skies & tailwinds,

Hello all,
I'm the owner of a conventional tailwheel aircraft I purchased from the USA. This
project was started in 1999 and still being built :-)
Not that Im near the finished stage yet but while reading the Builders Manual about
finishing the aircraft it states
" The first thing that you need to do with your flying surfaces is port cure them
at a temperature between 40-50 deg C. This will improve their strength and
cook off any remaining volatiles and moisture withing the epoxy system. "
Just wondering how builders have managed to do this. What equipment that have used
and how they have controlled the temperature. What is our opinion about doing
this on "old" wings that were completed in about year 2000.
I look forward to your comments
Regards,

We recently upgraded from a early iPad 1 to an iPad Air (black version). We seldom
had any difficulty with the iPad 1 shutting down due to temperature. But
the new Air often would.
A friend suggested that we equip our new Air with a "moshi iVisor AG for iPad".
He suggested the white version saying it would make the iPad run cooler. We
tried the white moshi today, and it made a noticeable difference in how hot the
iPad feels and we didn't have it shut down at all.
We purchased our moshi from Amazon.
