    Ray, Herbs right , you can buy the acid at home depot or a pool store. I take the jug off before I acid so I don't drip any in the case, you have to take it off anyways to hone or replace. try not to get it on ANY aluminum you don't want damaged. It will stop foaming when all the aluminum is gone from cylinder. Fly Safe, Wade Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=126014#126014

    Subject: video
    This is the ongoing attempt to get a decent video uploaded. This time the camera is mounted on foam on a shaft at the back of the cage. It actually came out fairly well, however I am not sure what is happening during the upload. The master is not pixilated. It was taken early in the morning and I am headed East for much of the way. The short clip with the car in the sage is what caused a power glitch the night before. All that emptiness and wouldn't you know the poor sucker centered a telephone pole.

Have you put the wide angle lens on it yet? I forget if you have to manually set the focus on infinity to keep it from trying to focus on the windscreen or the cross bars, but you probably got that figured out by now. Course now you'll have to do something stupid just to get the shot. I always figured "the engine's not going to quite for the next five minutes, and this will look really good on the video".

    Subject: Airplane trailering from East coast to midwest available
    Anybody need to ship an airplane from the east coast to the midwest. It would be a shame to bring the trailer back empty and I'll give you a good rate. I should be in PA by next Saturday and can pick up starting Monday 8/05. Rick -- Rick Girard "Ya'll drop on in" takes on a whole new meaning when you live at the airport.

Course now you'll have to do something stupid just to get the shot. I always figured "the engine's not going to quite for the next five minutes, and this will look really good on the video". ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ Actually I really like flying like that, I am afraid. I think I am hooked. Every thing else is boring. I know, Old and bold keeps going through my mind. The only thing is that the engine quitting any where that I fly is going to be bad, unless I can force myself to fly over the roads, which is not happening. Almost anywhere around here is going to end in a tip over because of the sage, it is just a matter of how long you are going to be able to think about it and dread the landing, two minutes or 30 seconds. :-/ The lens is on wide angle. I actually used a Sony Video Camera that I had, mounted on a piece of alum angle iron bolted to the rear of the cage. I put a 5 inch piece of foam under the camera, and used the remote control to start and end the record function. This camera will run for about two hours on the same battery that the Hitachi only got 15 minutes out of. Larry C do not archive

    Subject: tail wheel alignment
    I'm new to the list,so this may be old news to the veteran kolbists.After a few hrs the tail wheel spring begins to loosen in the tail post and allows the wheel to lean slightly.I think I've finally got a good fix.Removed the tail spring, sawed a horizontal cut 1/2 in deep in one side of the end of the tube,re-installed the spring and tail wheel assy,leveled the airplane,leveled the tail wheel then installed a two piece aluminum billet clamp bored to .875 before cutting it in-two, drilled and tapped with 2 counter bored allen head cap screws.Clamp is about 1/2 in thick and 1 1/2 in square.slipped it over the sawed portion of the steel tube and tightened it down .I then redrilled the retaining bolt hole 1 in aft of the original hole and secured it.Also lock tighted the full swivel tail wheel assy to the spring so it will not loosen at that point.Steers smoothly now,and is staying put.JB the carb socket guy machined it for me G Aman MK 3C Jabiru 2200
