Jerry=2C
I made a few gaskets in my time=2C and what you are trying to do isn't
much different.
IMO=2C you are trying to use too soft of a backup surface to cut against.
If it were me=2C I'd get a small piece of 1/8" thick aluminum sheet. (maybe
6" X 6" X 1/8")
Next=2C I'd get something like a bigger piece of steel plate=2C or any in
credibly
non-deforming solid surface. Use a couple of strips of duct tape to secur
e
the aluminum sheet in place=2C centered on your steel surface.
Then=2C stamp out your designs. The aluminum shouldn't hurt the stamp=2C
unless of course=2C we're talking about Harbor Freight stuff.

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.

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.

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.
