If the plastic is scratched you will need to use a
micro mash kit. Its designed for Plexi but I see no
reason why it would'nt work on Lexan. Aircraft Spruce
sells it.

Ron/Gang:
If it is scuffed/scratched beyond polish and wax
repair, the only recourse is to live with it or
replace it.
Save your money. The "micro mesh kit" does not
work with Lexan. Lexan is much softer than
Plexiglass. However, it is much easier to work
with. Can be bent in most any direction without
heat. Can be bent 90 degrees in a sheet metal
brake without heat.

My windshield got sandblasted to where the center of the windshield looks
like frosted glass, from sitting in my driveway, so I used some "light
scratch remover" and after 3 applications with a soft cloth and a lot of
elbow grease so far, it looks like I may be able to save it. For a while,
at least. The A&P says it looks pretty good, and that the wax will take
care of the rest, but I'm going to go over it at least once more before I
wax it. I could call him to get the brand
name............................?? Lar.

Gary, let us know what model and price you find good on these better
guns. Although it would be nice to be able to spray upside down or
whatever, there is generally greater potential for runs this way too
(speaking for myself anyway ;) ), so when easy, painting mostly
downward is nice.

Kolbers,
I'm still trying to get the roll out of this Mark III Extra.
I could use some advice regarding the aileron and flapperon setup.
Currently the ailerons are slightly drooped in the neutral position. Is
this normal or should the profile be flat from the leading edge of the wing
to the trailing edge of the aileron?
Also, after a second look I found the SS to be relatively even across the
horz. stab. Must of been an optical confusion of some sort. Loose nut on
the level.
As always, thanks in advance,
Joe

| Subject: | Re: copper plus brazing |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Cy Galley" <cgalley@qcbc.org>
I thought the comment below was a great rational for not brazing structural
items on an airplane... But then I got to thinking. I know that there is
ordinary low strength braze and then there is braze with very high
structural strength. More strength than even 1430.
For example, how many of you use a table saw with carbide blades. As far I
know, all those carbide teeth are brazed on and you think nothing of
standing in line with the blade as you saw wood or even aluminum. The
centrifugal forces are trying to throw the sharp tips at you with a very
high force... But we never even give it a second thought.
Steve Wittman brazed up the tail feathers of his Tailwinds without a
problem. The Tailwind builders continue to build them in that manner.
Rickard Finch says that it is the copper than gets between the steel
particles that makes brazed 4130 joint crack on cooling. Yet, bicycle frames
are routinely brazed together.
If you pick your brazing rod so it has no copper, you might be amazed at the
strength. I have better luck brazing band saw blades with a scarfed overlap
joint than a welded butt joint. Remember the joint has to be designed
correctly for the process and that brazing is not a good gap filler.

Drooping the ailerons moves the center of pressure on the wing rearward,
making the airplane effectively nose heavier.
Reflexing the ailerons upward moves the center of pressure toward the
leading edge, making the airplane more tail heavy.
Adjust it a bit and see how it suits you, it's an interesting exercise.
I get my roll out with an adjustable trim tab on the right aileron,
readjusted for solo or dual.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Rick & Martha Neilsen <neilsenrm@comcast.net>
How bad is the roll? You can take a small amount of roll out by adjusting
the flaps (try this first) but if it is real bad you may want to raise or
lower the angle of attack of one wing. If you have to adjust the wing be
VERY careful. You don't want to weaken the critical wing connections. On my
plane I took a rat tail file and elongated the front hole on the wing were
the wing attaches to the fuselage. I then drilled three holes in some steel
bar stock the size on the wing pin connection. I then put the center hole of
the bar stock over the elongated hole and bolts thru the other holes. It
will be a trial and error process were you elongate the hole more and
replace with a new bar stock but you can trim you plane to fly hands off. I
hope I have described this clearly. But again be very careful you don't
weaken the wing connection.
As for the drooping of the ailerons there should be a slight droop so that
they will ride up even with the bottom of the wing in flight. This will be a
starting point and you may want to play with this as you are trimming your
airplane.

There is a GI Joe Army Surplus store in the next town over that sells that
stuff (I think)
If you have not found a source by Monday night, let me know, I'm going that

Cy/Gang:
Correct me if I am wrong, but most bicycle frames
use a tube and socket type joint similar to
sweating a copper pipe joint. Nothing like a TIG
welded 4130 tubing joint.
Some tiny accessories are silver soldered on bike
frames, e.g., cable end fittings, cable guides,
etc.
I'll stick to TIG welding my airplane stuff and
feel a little bit more comfortable.

Kolb builders, last year I mentioned that during the repairing of my
used cage , including welding several mounting tabs and restructuring
the nose.....that I had satisfactory results using rustoleum satin spray-
can paint. Several responded that they had blistering and lifting when
using rustoleum. It must be this specific paint because I am pleased
to report that I encountered no problems while glueing fabric on my
cage today. I must take in to account that this paint has been on
for about a year. It's handy because every time you make a small
mod, you can just squirt that area....and the spruce green makes a
very passable look-alike for zinc chromate. Works for me...

Tom/Gang:
Now if I was still the beer drinker I was 25 years
ago, I would say, "Yes, three cases would be OK
for me. That will last me about three days."
However, my drink of choice these days is Diet
Pepsi. Big Lar is on the same "wagon" I am, so
maybe if I am nice to him, he will bring some Diet
Pepsi for his ole buddy from Abalama.
Got the first coat of Polybrush, reinforcing tape
pop riveted to the horizontal brace, and (after I
rest a spell) will go back down stairs and see if
it is not too late tonight to stick the trim tapes
on the vertical stabilizer. Figure five more days
until I finish painting. That'll be about
Monday. That leaves me another day to reinstall
the tail section and a week to test fly and do the
necessary maintenance to get me out to Utah,
probably California and parts SW. Probably come
back through El Paso and then on to San Antonio on
the way back to Alabama. This whole flight is
going to be "played by ear" all the way.
Looking forward to seeing Tom Kuffel again. I
missed meeting his wife when I stayed with Tom
overnight at Whitefish, Montana. What a beautiful
area of our great country. Wish I could keep all
those beautiful places with me that I fly over and
through. Guess it makes it even better to go back
and visit those same places again. Some I get to
do in the Mark III and pulling the 5th wheel.
Take care,

a while back you mentioned a bit about the high pointy mtn tops.... well this

the photos combined are about 1 meg. and a hole in the plexeglass would help resolution.
Capitol reef is north of monument valley and Lake powell. Install

Bob/Gang:
I have a spray can of zinc chromate in the "mole
hole". Used some the other day. Think it came
from Aircraft Spruce, or it may have come from Jim
and Dondi Miller. Can not remember.
For rust and corrosion protection, zinc chromate
is hands down over spray paint with no primer
under it. I have used red spray paint for small
stuff when I get in a hurry changing or repairing
an item. However, most will eventually rust,
especially the throttle.
To do it right, according to the "hauck's holler
book of standards", one should use a good two part
epoxy chromate primer. If prepped and applied
correctly, it is hard to beat. Randolph green, in
my opinion, is the most durable of any I have
used.

Kolbers,
I see from info I have that the Airworthiness inspector wants to see positive control
stops with no control interference.
This is no problem on my elevator and ailerons, but my rudder travels all the way
to the elevators both right and left.
How did you all limit your rudder travel to keep from interfering with the elevators?

Denny, on my website, Building Vamoose/Wingtip Strobes...........right at
the bottom of the page, to the right of the pic of the red tail strobe, is a
pic of the rear of the tail boom. Right behind the rudder cable retention
bolt is a stub with a little white rubber boot on it, that limits rudder
travel. It came with the kit, and is like a little "saddle" that rivets on
the rudder tube, and has 2 little stubs that contact the rudder horn at full
deflection. I put the rubber boots on to protect the
paint...................tho' the way Vamoose is beat up now, before it's
ever flown, even, I don't know why I bothered. Hope this helps.

Since the tail is folded and I cant get in to see it - there is a short
length of 1/4" steel tubing extending out at 90 degrees from the sides of
the vertical tail post at the rudder control horn, so when you pull on the
horn with the cables, the tubing stops it. If you don't have such as that,
weld a short length of 1/4" tubing to a split piece of larger tubing and
rivet it on.

Lar/Gang:
Damn, ya'll work fast! :-)
Reckon I am just slow, especially since I have to
fly what I build.
When I get to the taping stage for final coat of
red, if the paint has not had a chance to cook and
vent off a lot of the solvent vapors, the paint
and underlying coats will be soft and possibly
show the tape impressions.
For me, one process a day works well. I could
have made up a day tonight by finishing up the
trim tapes, but too tired. Will get up early in
the morning when I am fresh to do the tedious
work. I may be able to get a coat of Polyspray on
tomorrow afternoon if I finish the tapes and get a
couple coats of Polybrush shot early enough. That
will let me make up a day and I will finish
painting Sunday.
BTW: Just kidding about the Diet Pepsi. Think we
will be able to get all we can drink at the
country store in the camp ground or at the lodge
cafe.
Take care,

Just for the heck of it, I did call him, the product is "Novus," and is sold

Kolbers:
Here are some scans of my rudder stop. Just
happened to have it hanging on a hook to dry after
shooting it with white Polyfiber two part epoxy
primer:

Since mine did not do what I needed it to do, I
tapped the 1/4" stubs with an 10/32 tap and
installed two stainless dome top screws to get the
adjustment I wanted and needed.
Amazing machines. I simply laid the rudder stop
on the scanner and presto, I had a file to send to
my index page.

I set mine up where they are flat with the bootom of
the wing. If they droop you have extra camber and more
lift & Drag, and also less top speed. Try going to
neutral where they both are flat on the bottom (per
the plans). that could solve the roll, if that is how
you had it when its rolling. One of them could just be
a bit more effective than the other, causing a banking
moment.
