    Scott, Great news, got to talk to an engineer at one of the resin mfg yesterday. There are several formulas that have already addressed the ethanol situation. He has been testing samples in the lab for some time now and gave me two to choose from. What is interesting is that a mixture of 15% ethanol and gasoline is far more caustic than 100% ethanol. The main problem that I have is that gasohol is not available here. If someone would like test some samples or a tank for me let me know.

    Scott, Ed, and Malcolmb, I really appreciate you information on this older plane. I think my questions aren't very interesting to many on this site. I understand that, they have much more interest in the more current models. They are a lot further along than I am. But I want to thank you for being willing to spend a little time with someone just trying to start out. I do however have another question on this older plane. This comes from my lack of knowledge on flying. Is not having flaps a big deal? I have been looking in to getting my sport pilot license, just having a problem finding an instructor in my area. Then maybe my questions will not be so elementry. Joe Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=106053#106053

    Typically, the CG of a person sitting with legs extended out somewhat is about 10" forward and above the seat surface where it connects to the back surface. This came from an ergonomics book I used as a reference many years ago when doing machine design. How fat (or not) a person is does not really affect the CG location much because much of the extra ballast is concentrated near this point.... I know mine is. Thom in Buffalo

    Subject: Re: Fiberglass Fuel Tank
    I was faced with the same question, as to the type of tank to construct for the M3X. I took the easy way out and constructed it out of aluminum 5000 series. The tanks are light made out of .050 and strong. I found a shop that does those for boats and RV's, build them. I drew the plans and faxed it over to them and without ever seeing the people had the tanks constructed. I picked them up on my way back from Vegas (went to see Bob Seger there) at Lake Havasu AZ. Never saw any of those people, it was Sunday they left the tanks for me in the back of the shop. These tanks are exactly the way I wanted them. It looks like I will have around 27 gallons of computed fuel. Will have to wait for a fill up to know exactly. I am not by any means knocking composite fuel tanks, its just that to me it seems much simpler to pay someone some extra bucks get top quality stuff and be done with that.

Eastern Standard Time, icrashrc@aol.com writes: So what is a suitable resin for gasoline and gasohol? -------- Scott www.ill-EagleAviation.com do not archive Hi Scott, I have been getting up to speed on that recently. Years ago I used Safe T Poxie on a Long EZ. I checked the 22 year old tanks last year and they were still perfect. However only Avgas has been used. Gasoline and Gasohol is a different story. In the past some epoxies were sensitive to the toluene and other additives in Hi test but regular leaded was ok. The new problem appears to be Ethanol. The boat industry is getting hit hard with this because many older boats had built in fiberglass tanks that worked for years but are now failing due to 10% ethanol mix. Most companies seem to be using vinyl ester and a few are coating the tanks with a special Phenol based epoxy. SO, As far as My Opinion, I plan to use vinyl ester for the tank construction and then coat the inside with Phenol epoxy. I also plan to avoid the use of 10% ethanol which is easy here in Florida . I will also keep some test samples in fuel and monitor them from time to time. You can also get some tell tale signs on your spark plugs if the Ethanol is oxidizing the resin matrix. The nice thing about the Firefly is that you can remove the tank in minutes and replace if needed. Since this is a molded part I can build new ones as needed. Continued research will be done while I am at SnF this year. It will be interesting to see how some of the composite AC companies are handling this Issue. ---------------------- kugelair.com

Hi Ron, I am familiar with Alum tanks. The problem is with weight. The composite Tank comes in at under 2 lbs. A welded Aluminum tank in this size range is almost 10 lbs. That is a prohibitive weight in a Firefly. Also, the Geometry for large tanks are more forgiving if you compare Gal/Lb. And by the way, Most Composite tanks did not have a problem until the advent of 10% Ethanol. Has anyone thought about potential problems with Slosh Sealers and Ethanol? Will they suffer from similar breakdown from Ethanol? If I had a tank with a sealer in it I would be checking on what to expect if I use Gasohol. My guess is that as 10% ethanol fuels are mandatory across the country more problems will arise. Steve ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

    Steve B: I sloshed my aluminum tank in 1991, with Randolph slosh and seal for av gas, auto gas, and alcohol. A looked into the tank for the first time in 15 years a few minutes ago. Proud to say it looks like brand new in there. Unfortunately, Randolph quit selling this slosh and sealer some years ago. There are others out there, primarily for the antique auto, tractor, motorcycle bunch. They are supposed to be alcohol resistant. I have heard good and bad from people. I think the folks that had problems were folks that did not adhere strictly to the instructions. My first tank in the Firestar was not sloshed and it had a couple nagging pin hole leaks I could not get to properly to seal. Big mistake not sealing. I have two marine tanks, welded, 5052 alum, that were professionally machine welded, production tanks. Neither has ever had a problem after riding in the back of the old Dodge Cummins for the past 11 years. Hard to match production type alum welding for quality. john h mkIII

    Subject: wing bounce
    flying with the new warp three blade and have something different from the IVO. Using an E box on a 582 slingshot. Engine is elevated in order to fold wing. With warp drive prop I have a definate vibration or what I would rather call a wing bounce on the left wing when I reach about 86 indicated. Only the left wing. I can see the wing actually go up and down, occilate and when I slow the engine, it quits. I can make it do it climbing, straight flight and turning. If I am descending, without the engine imput, it is okay past 90. My thought is buffet on the wing cause the blade is coming up on that side. Wonder if I put about 3/4 to 1" spacer between the box and the blade, maybe that would be enough. Going to try it when the bolts come in. Another slingshot is just about that far with its big spacer with a C box. No problem there. What say? Am I on the right track. Dont want to space it very much cause that move weight back and I cant afford that. Ted Cowan, Alabama

    Subject: Re: wing bounce
    Ted C: Off the top of my head I do not thing the prop is creating wing bounce/occilation. If it was, the IVO or any prop would likely cause the same problem. Ronny Collins had a bad vibration problem with his SS. After a lot of investigation we found that the rib stitching the builder used, instead of recommended fabric rivets, had pulled loose back in the inboard wing areas around the front of the prop. I flew on Ronny and saw the fabric ballooning up. He fixed the fabric and the problem went away. Be sure you fabric is not pulling up back near the prop on top of the wing. I was not hesitate to fly the SS with a 4" extension on the prop. Do not think it will create an aft CG problem. I'm not telling you it is alright to do that, but if it were my airplane, I'd try it. john h mkIII

    The prop is so close to the CG on a Kolb moving it back even 4 inches with a spacer is a non issue. Moving the prop back several would have such miniscule effect on CG that it would never make a bit of difference in the way it flys, stalls, or anything else.

If the welder is not experenced then It probably does need some sealer, especially if the aluminum was not cleaned properly prior to the welding process.

    Subject: Fw: Hauck's 912ULS Install
    Hi Folks: The 912ULS is installed, except for a couple wires and the reg/rec. I have attached some photos of the nice compact 100 hp package. Tomorrow will try to get the lexan windshield, doors, and rear quarter windows cut and installed. Thurs get the Hauck Gear back under the fuselage after we get it out of the basement. See if the engine will run after I install the Warp Drive. If we have time, will load it up on the deck over and haul it 3 miles to the airstrip, put the wings and gap seal on, and see if it will still fly. ;-) Miss P'fer (pronounced peefer) has not been airborne since 22 Aug 06. She is as anxious as I am to get flying again. This will give me a couple days to get everything dialed in and learn how to fly again. Tue morning will load her up and head for Lakeland. Take care, john h --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
