    Lynn: 37deg allows more sealing surface for the same outside diameter flare. As you know it is easy to stretch metal but putting it back is like adding an inch tot he 2x4 you just cut too short, next to impossible. If you put a 45 deg flare on a 37 deg fitting the flare will have to crumple a bit to seat. The crumpling will cause it to leak under low pressure. That was one of the things demonstrated to us in AME school. (AME = Aircraft Maintenance Engineer) Trying to put a 37 degree flare on a 45 degree fitting is almost as bad as the seat again is reduced inside the fitting.

Anybody know the history of the 37 versus 45? Somebody must have come up with a pretty good reason to make a change, eh? And, Guy, I would not suggest mixing the two in any one joint, but I'd be rebel enough to use both angles of flares at different locations on the same experimental airplane....clearly marked, of course.

    Subject: Re: Gascolator
    We used to do things like the flare on a regular basis... The work at the FBO (in Canada AMO) was all contract work and billing out a flare would have been phohibitive. We did certainly charge for anything we had to sign on though and it never ceased to amaze me that a fellow would think nothing of spending $1000.00 on an old truck but balk at a $500 bill on his $250,000 plane.... go figure. Commercial contracts were always better than private. Commercial operators want their planes to be safe... That doesn't mean they want to throw money at the plane but they relaize flying is expensive and they past the cost on to their customers.

    Just wanted to give a quick user report. Airdale does carry the wood streamlined strips @ $2/ft. Brett was very easy to work with, and the test pieces I ordered were delivered quickly. I've attached some photos of the product. There are a few observations that probably need to be pointed out about them if someone else is looking at ordering some for their project. 1. As shown in the photos, the shape of the pieces aren't really "streamlined"; your buying a 1x2 with a couple of angled table saw cuts and a pass across a router. So, don't expect a lot for the low price. 2. The piece feels pretty heavy @ 1.2 lbs for a 3' section (I'm assuming it is pine). This might hold up better on the back edge of my landing gear, but that could add up if you were doing struts. With Balsa @ ~$18 for a 2x4x36 board from ACS, you could make some lighter ones for about the same price if you have the tools already. 3. The strips will make the tubes more streamlined, but they fall short of the desired 4:1 teardrop shape. When attached to a 1" tube the overall length is a little shorter than 2.75". That is about the same size as on my old landing gear, and will work for my purpose, but may not be desirable for others.

    Kitfoxers, Try western red cedar, It's lighter than pine (not balsa wood light), readily available in tapered cross section as beveled cedar siding, easy to machine, and reasonably priced. If you haven't got a table or bench saw and hand plane to finish it up, you probably belong in a certified airplane.

    Guys, I looked at streamlining my horizontal stab and wing jury struts with balsa and ordered some from National Balsa, link below. Have the plastic on my wing struts and left it there for now. I have not done anything with the balsa I bought yet, moved my focus to getting the plane in the air first. My thought was to glue and contour then cover with single layer carbon fiber or fiberglass.

    From: "WurlyBird" <james.t.trizzino@us.army.mil>
    I finally got some time out in the garage to start pulling apart the panel so I decided to go ahead and make up a test panel with one of the blanks I made from carbon fiber. This piece was my first attempt at a full size panel lay up and was pretty full of imperfections. It is only two layers thick of carbon so it is pretty flimsy but it holds up well enough to get a good look at it. I still have green masking tape indicating where things will be installed such as switches, VHF, Xponder, fuses, and the EIS will go in the big blank spot on the right. I have spent a few weeks trying to lay out an aesthetic and functional panel and as many of you know that is not at all easy. I am happy with this layout and think I will only tweak it a little once I finalize what fabric I will be using. The first picture is the fabric I want to use if I can find more of it. I got this piece off Ebay about 7 years ago and I can not find it anywhere. And that is what I have been doing with composites lately. -------- James Kitfox 3 / 582 / 70&quot; IVO 2 blade GA 50 hrs on the Fox in between deployments, now she lies in wait Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=337151#337151 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/kevlar_174.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/panel2_476.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/panel1_169.jpg

    Honestly Pat, for the best quality on small quantity I have not found anything better then Ebay. I have also found very little in the way of fabric designs or styles elsewhere that are not on Ebay. And they were just weird. I bought that Red and black hybrid cloth a long time ago and just got around to really doing layups. Now I can't find that style fabric anywhere and I have spent a couple hours looking. Usually if you can't find something in that amount of time on the internet you probably wont find it. Or if you are like me you will get completely involved in some new information you found and end up starting a new project. [Laughing] By the way the Dow worked great Pat. I did a hang test for 24 hours with fuel coming from a height of over 4 feet. I am confident enough to say that that is leak proof. Thanks again. -------- James Kitfox 3 / 582 / 70&quot; IVO 2 blade GA 50 hrs on the Fox in between deployments, now she lies in wait Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=337156#337156
