    Had a discussion like awhile ago also on Oshkosh365, I think it was. Unfortunately the Oshkosh365 forum software is so bad participating there is a painful ordeal. I think it's a viable approach. I'd be pursuing it if there was a field near here suitable for instruction. -Dana At 08:49 AM 2/6/2011, Malcolm Brubaker wrote: >We had an interesting discussion on linkedin this weekend.

    Matco (brake company) recommends and uses Loctite 567. It is specifically for tapered threads for your application. I have used it for years on all my tapered threads and have never had a leak. http://www.rshughes.com/products/079340_56707.html -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

    Subject: Re: club planes?
    Well that's a good idea. Could certainly use it (My M3X) here in KFHU, it may even motivate me more to finish my project faster, which is 90% complete with 100% left to do kinda thing. However ignoring the FAA in this equation is pretty much kicking the can down the road. I think in terms of movement there has to be a wide ranging recognition the the FAA is the problem in general aviation. Fearing the FAA or thinking in terms of compliance with FAA all the time as we do now is strangling aviation. If there is no concerted effort to truncate their pervasive intrusion into aviation; the contraction will continue. I think I mentioned before that I almost never see young kids around taking flying lessons anymore. Its not because aviation has stopped firing up the imagination of the younger generation, its because the fun the freedom and the joy have been stomped out of flying by the FAA to an alarming degree. By all rights the Kolb factory should be busy and backlogged for orders, yet it is not happening. So the idea of a club to circumvent FAA rules is a valid and good, but it will not reverse the difficulty of being an aircraft owner aviator. The future is as it has always been in people owning their aircraft and plying the skies in freedom. I have yet to see an organization come about that makes it as its prime objective to restore freedom to aviate, by going after the source of the constraints. That is what we need most of all right now. ---- Malcolm Brubaker <brubakermal@yahoo.com> wrote: ============ We had an interesting discussion on linkedin thisweekend.All aboutflight instruction and the idea of turning an experimental into a club plane so an instructor could legallyuse it toteachthe owners to fly.
