The nature of a two stroke engine encourages stress cracks through high frequency vibration. Personally, I would be more concerned with internal 4130 tube corrosion than external. External corrosion I can see and fix. Internal I have no control over unless I use tube seal to prevent. john h mkIII Nellis AFB, Nevada Big air show here tomorrow and Sunday.

AND panel surface finish Mr. Ray, I would suggest "cermacoating" your exhaust parts. It gives them a "polished aluminum look." From what I gather, it is essentially a metallic looking powder-coat paint finish, except maybe more heat resistant. I had an outfit named Performance Coatings do my GEO engine muffler/exhaust, and also my GlaStar header-style custom exhaust system (pipes). They charged me $60 complete, for the GEO exhaust muffler unit, and I believe $100, or there-abouts, for the Lycoming exhaust headers. And you don't do ANYTHING. They do it all....from cleaning the surface, coating, and then buffing them shiny. I was VERY satisfied with the price and the quality. Let me go see if I can find their phone number................back in a minute. I'm back. Here is the outfit I dealt with, although I see there are a couple of places named "Performance Coatings." http://www.headercoatings.com/ And while I'm at it, since I'm name-dropping here, someone asked about what to coat their panel with. I saw a couple of suggestions like krinkle paint, or laminate (plastic). Is anyone familiar with this process?? I saw them featured on "SPORT PILOT" TV show. Unbelievably beautiful work, but as you can imagine...not cheap. If nothing else, maybe, just maybe, an ingenious soul can duplicate their process on a small scale, for their own little flat panel surface. Anyway, it's just a suggestion. http://www.pfluegers.com/ BTW. It's nice when this forum isn't bothered by General Rancor. He is such a distasteful cuss !! (No one particular in mind!!!)

FWIW If I can have a life-saving chute on my plane, I'll have one. I've made a bunch of sport jumps & have no problems with a chute saving my life, and my plane. Obviously if you're over the Interstate (maybe!) or powerlines you don't pull the red handle. The 'accidental deployment' of chute that you mention was PILOT ERROR, no more no less. Don't cloud the issues with ridiculous comments, please. Kill yourself if you wish.

I also commented on a nice panel finish in the same email. For some inexplicable reason I must have been kicked off the Kolb list, because my reply and a couple of new emails to this list have not ever been posted. I don't know why not.

Hi all, Just thought I would share a lesson I learned today. I was going to fog my 503 for winter storage today. Since the FSII was on the trailer, in the hanger and it was raining, I figured I would just take the carbs off and fog the crankcase without starting the engine. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but I digress. Anyway, I put the little plastic straw thingie on the fogging can, stuck the straw into the intake and pushed the button on the aerosol can. In the blink of an eye the plastic straw blew off the can and went into the crankcase, CRAP!! Who would have ever predicted that. I could see the very top of the plastic straw standing straight up in the crankcase. I wasn`t sure if it was sitting on the bottom of the case or if it could fall further and disappear. Long story short, I used a four fingered grabbing tool to pull it back to the intake side of the cylinder, then grabbed it with a pair of needle nose pliers, and pulled it out. This all took about half an hour from the beginning of the circus to the end. I think I had some divine help as the straw was very slippery from the fogging oil. What I learned is, never use the straw to inject fogging oil into the crankcase! All`s well that ends well.

Next time I see him he'll get a sharp blow to the head like that "I could have had a V8" commercial. I do partake of some libation occasionally, no more than usual, less than most. Age limits a lot of things. I've always been financially stressed and people that are always happy just make me want what they are taking. My thinking was that learning to fly from scratch at 59 in a Kolb that has to be wheel landed at 60mph may not be the best idea since my 2D coordination is marginal let alone 3D. I'm thinking of building an experimental Taylorcraft. I figure once no one can afford a Cub anymore they will become popular.
