Then again, maybe I don't need 1200F protection there.

Sorry guys there seems to be a theme emerging to my latest posts. I used the furnace cement when I was a poor student. Still poor, just temporarily gave up the study thingy. The thing is both the muffler cement and the furnace first cousin get very hard and won't allow any flex in the joints.... You may as well just weld the parts together. Packing the joints the hi-temp RTV or "Modified Oakum" Glass or asbestos chord will allow the joints to flex as they have to. I was just thinking, if you gave the inside of the elbow/pipes a thin coat of muffler cement it could act the same as ceramic shielding on the inside of the pipes and actually keep heat away from various parts.

I was ready to start covering, and I chose the wing to be first. after I had it covered, it sure looked wrinkled, I called a friend who had his Kitfox covered, painted, and ready to fly, and told him,I think I messed up my wing cause it was so wrinkled. He drove almost a hundred miles to come and help, he said the wing was covered just fine. I gave him my calibrated iron to use, he said I brought my own and do it by feel. His Iron was not calibrated and he done a great job, and that was six years ago this month that I have been flying my IV 1200. Incidently, while my friend was here that day, he covered both sides of the fuselage, the verticle stabilizer, and the bottom, and had it heat shrunk before he went back home, with an uncalibrated iron. I finished the covering, had help on the other wing, but done the rest myself, did I use my calibrated iron ? you bet I did. This guy just knew exactly how to use that Iron, He had lots of experiance !!!!! David, Kifox IV 1200 912 UL ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry West To: kitfox-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 4:39 AM Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Irons for covering OK, I have to throw this in. I drilled a hole in the small iron that receives a precision laboratory thermometer with a dial indicator. The hole is more than an inch deep. This way, I have a constant reading of the temperature. I believe this could be done with the household iron. Based on my experience, most of these thermostats are terribly inaccurate and inconsistent. I tried several before finding one that is nearly consistent. It is a Sunbeam. I calibrated it by the Polyfiber instructions. N880BW has been flying for 6 years now and has 500 hours on it and the fabric is holding up well. Barry West.
