Dear Listers,
The percentage of people making a Contribution to support the Lists this year is
currently lagging behind last year by approximately 21%! I'm hoping that everyone
is just waiting until the last minute to show their support... ;-)
Please remember that it is solely your direct Contributions that keep these Lists
up and running and most importantly - AD FREE! If the members don't want to
support the Lists directly, then I will likely have to start adding advertisements
to offset the costs of running the Lists. But I *really* don't want to
have to start doing that. I really like the non-commercial atmosphere here and
I think that a lot of the members appreciate that too.
Please take a moment to make a Contribution today in support of the continued ad-free
operation of all these Lists:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
I want to send out a word of appreciation to all of the members that have already
made their generous Contribution to support the Lists! Thank you!

My other hobby is R/C airplane flying.
Here are some pictures of my scratch built R/c version of a kolb firestar / firefly.
I have not completed it yet. Its pretty much done except for setting up
the radio and adding wing struts.

Jabiru has said earlier that only a wood or wood core prop was recommended.Has

flywheel attach issues.

Gary,
I haven't followed lately what Jabiru is saying about wood props, but
our local dealer is using a composite Sensenich prop on his Jabiru
plane. Sensenich thoroughly tested them for use on Jabiru engines,
and I have enough confidence in them that I bought one.

Best I can say is that our highly regarded Jabiru dealer has one on
his plane and sells them also, as well as selling Jabiru props. As
I mentioned in previous post, I haven't followed what Jabiru is saying.

Gary,
For sure the rpms are high, but as I mentioned in a previous post,
much of the noise comes from the prop blades chopping the air off the
wings, the 3-blade having half as much blade to chop as a two. Of
course, I think your beautiful Q-tip comes only as a two.

| Subject: | Plexiglass Scratch Repair... |
Dear Listers,
During the fitting of the Plexiglass canopy on my RV-8, I managed to put some pretty
disheartening scratches in the windscreen section. You can see from the
pictures that they looked pretty bad. A call to Van's revealed that a replacement
canopy would be $640 + $250 shipping to California! Ack.
So what to do... A bit of surfing and I found this "Scratch Off" windshield repair
kit for $35 on the Aircraft Spruce web site:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/scratchoff.php
Frankly, it just seemed too good to be true. Nothing for $35 could be that "magic"
I thought, but what did I have to lose at this point....
Well, the kit arrived yesterday and I decided to give it a try tonight. In a word:
WOW! In about 2 hours the windscreen looked as good as new - no kidding
- AS GOOD AS NEW! The pictures really don't do the repair justice. It looks
better in person.
There are basically two sponges in the kit with four decreasingly porous pastes.
You just put some of the first paste on the sponge and buff it in with a drill
at 1200 RPM or less. Then you wash everything down good including the sponge
and windshield with warm water. Then you use the next finer paste and repeat
the process. Etc, etc, until you've used the 4th paste that is kind of like
car wax.
Frankly, the scratches were gone after the first application of paste - I started
at #2 based on the instructions and the "observed severity" of the scratch
depth.
So, the bottom line is, if you've got scuffs or mild scratches in your Plexiglass
buy this repair kit. It works!
