Yes, I did and at half the price of a replacement aluminum tank it is a bit
hard to swallow. I think others in the past have recommended Rectorseal No.
7, and I ordered some of that this morning. We'll see. The Dow product is a
RTV product. Do you think it will harden in the tube like most RTVs do.

I have a model 4 Speedster with a 912 ULS engine, with a GSC 3blade
prop. I am old fashoned enough to like the looks of the wood prop and
the round cowl. This prop has run out of its time limit and I am
considering a different prop.
Last spring there was an article in Kitplanes magazine about a fellow, I
think that he had a Rans S7 with a 912 engine. He did quite a bit of
experimenting compareing a warp blade prop and a whirlwind prop. His
conclusion was that he had considerablt better preformance with the
whirlwind prop.
Has any one on this list have any experience with this whirlwind prop?

Guys, After trying to seal the fittings on my plastic tank multiple times
unsuccessfully, I bit the bullet and paid the $100 (incl. shipping ) from
ACS for a tube of the Dow 730. It sealed the fittings 1st time, hasn't
leaked since. The stuff is superb for sealing fittings in plastic
tanks. That was 2 1/2 years ago. I have kept it in the refridgerator for 2
1/2 years and it is still plyable. I even sold enough to seal a couple of
fittings to someone on this list for $20 after I had it for a couple of
months. Good deal for both of us. I recooped some of my expense and he
spent 20% of the cost of a full tube.
