Great idea but I can't take credit for that picture. While I'm deployed a bud
of mine is keeping her in his hangar and flying her to keep the engine and airframe
from wasting away in storage. As you can see, he got the better end of
the deal.

Anyone have experience with Stewart System Products for covering your KF
or Avid. It is water based, therefore less fumes and no solvents or fire
hazards.I am researching methods. Hype by the manufacturer as cheaper,
faster , lighter, safer than Stitts method.I was considering Hipec,
probably easiest, strong without tape or wing stitching but very toxic
ie isocyanates.Any experience appreciated.

I'm painting my CH801 with System Three's Waterborne products, which
are similar BUT WAY cheaper. The drawback, they probably won't work on
Fabric (WR-LPU that is). However it is possible they might.
Having been an Aerothane junky in the past, I have had many frustrating
experiences with the waterborne pain(t). In many ways it is nice, since
it is basically not going to kill you. The bad part is it is touchy to spray
well, too little and it dries instantly and sandy. Too much and it run's
easily, or if it doesn't run tends to develop what I call "foam". Basically
where air from the gun embeds in the paint and doesn't flow out.
Since my wife won't let me use Aerothane anymore I live with the
waterborne stuff.
By the way System Three polyurethane is 50% the cost of AFS

Jeff

Hi Deke-
This was taken at Napoleon Airport (3NP) just a few miles from my
(rented) field.
My build.....from 10% done when I bought it......took me 19 months,
Jabiru 2200, got the Airworthiness Certificate in March 2006, and I
soloed in it in June 2006, after I had the 40 hrs flown off for me,
and then got 2-1/2 months of instruction in it.

Trained over very shallow water at very high speed to get used to the feel of the
water on the tires. It is actually just like concrete at about 65mph. When
you get slow the tires will sink and try to pitch pole you. This water is about
two inches deep.

This is the Salinas River which is in central Cahlifonya. The water does not even
run year round. We fly the river looking for little sand bars to land on.
The sand can be so soft if will pitch you right over if you are not careful.

Hi Guy,
Yes, I water ski the plane but when landing try to stay off the water until it
is shallow enough that droping through will not be a problem. That is because
the landing speed is much slower than the tire planing speed. Your little tiny
tires would be more of a problem. You would need very smooth and shallow water
to get started at it. Think parking lot with a shimmer of water on it.

Harry,
I'm using the STEWART SYSTEM on my AVID and I love it so far. There are
at least three others on the field I'm on that have covered with other
brands and they have said they will use STEWART Systems on their next
project. In fact two of the three are now covering new projects and are
using the STEWART SYSTEM. There are practically no odors in the glue and it
is MUCH easier to use than STITS. I had a little trouble getting the spray
gun (and me)tuned, but things are turning out good so far. I've painted
several small pieces and plan to start on the fuselage and wings in the next
couple of weeks if all goes well. I went with STEWART SYSTEMS mainly
because it is a non-toxic system. I hung around their booth at OSH last
year and was sold on the product. Their instructional videos will certainly
give you enough knowledge to do a good job covering and painting with their
SYSTEM. If you have any more specific questions please feel free to e-mail
direct and I'll give you my phone number if you wish. If I were to start
another project tomorrow I would certainly choose the same system agian.
Andy F.
