Richard,
It has to do with the iron atom being polarized. As you heat up the tubes
and add material to weld them together, it allows the iron atoms to
re-orient them selves charge wise relative to the north and south magnetic
poles. As the joint cools they remain in this orientation and the joint is
polarized. If you weld up your fuselage in a fixture that is in a fixed
location, then all the welded joints will have the same polarized direction
and therefore a much greater influence on a compass.
Since energy input (heating in this case) will re-orient the iron atom
polarity in the joint, the adding of energy to the joint can also
disorientate it. This is what the tape eraser or the degaussing coil does.
It raised the energy in the joint and overwhelms the influence of the
earth's magnetic poles and leaves the iron atom polarities in a random
distribution where they cancel out each other effect.
The Germans built the V1 buzz bombs in fixed fixtures. As result the
guidance system was over powered by the accumulated magnetism of the
fuselage structure and skin. To get away from this problem the assembly was
mounted on a turntable with men riding along and they beat on the structure
with wood mallets as the turntable was rotated in the earth's magnetic
field. This normalized the structure to the point so that their guidance
system was affective.
This can be demonstrated by taking a bolt and checking to see if it is
magnetic. Then holding the bolt in alignment between the north and south
poles, strike the end of the bolt with a hammer. After doing so you will
find the bolt is magnetized.
Snow and cold. On my way to pay for next years hangar rent and check on the
FireFly. It is nice to have a warm shop in the basement to work in. Kubota
is backed into the garage, and the rotary snow plow is mounted ready to go.
Hope everyone has a nice holiday.

Thanks Jack for the info. Next time I'm visiting the Kolb Factory I will see if
I can get there welder, Dennis, to rotate his fixture, welding unit, and himself
violently while making our cages. This would have to be video-ed of course
for U-Tube. [Laughing] He's a pretty good old boy and would do most
anything for us but this may be asking to much. You just don't really know though
until you ask.

Hi Ellery, That 2=9D tach always read too high the whole time I owne

different compasses only to get the same result, even borrowed one that

Has anybody used (or seen) a seat tank in an UltraStar?
Currently I have three tanks: the two original 1.75 gallon tanks in front
of the seat, and a 1.5 gallon tank behind the seat. I want to replace all
of these with a single tank, and use the space currently occupied by the
original tanks for storage of small items.
I originally looked at a single tank above the engine and gravity feed
(with the added benefit of eliminating the fuel pump), but there's really
not enough room there. I next looked at the space behind the seat, but
that's pretty limited as well for any off the shelf tanks (I have a plastic
tank a friend gave me, and it's 1/2" too wide to fit... grrrrr). The only
options remaining are a custom tank (too much cost or work) or a molded
seat tank like these:

- Dana- A seat tank showed up on E-Bay a few months ago.- I seem to rem
ember that the ad said it was from Aircraft Spruce, and it gave a part numb
er.- I just tried to look it up in both the book and on line, and no luck
.- You might try calling them in the morning- maybe it is not a catalogue
d item.- Good luck.
