Has anyone heard of Oratex?>>
Hi,
Oratex has been around for a little while in the UK and there are a few
planes around covered with it.
Main advantages are ease of application and the weight saving as the
colour is in the Oratex thus saving the weight and the trouble of
painting
Cheers
Pat

In the south west of England they are called `grockles`

Hi John,
I dont think that anyone has got round to painting their planes with
emulsion paint in the UK so no comment on that.
The Oratex is also fairly new. The guys who have used it are not going
to admit they were wrong. Yet. But in fairness they have been
enthusiastic about the application and weight saving, so as far as the
fairly limited experience goes it has been a success.
Cheers
Pat

I know that every one has paint on their fingers as a subject line, but in
an effort to keep paint from becoming as tiresome a subject as Sea Foam, I
would offer this. :-)
John mentioned the other day that he had cut his pitot tube at a 45 degree
angle in an effort to keep from getting an inaccurate reading when in
landing configuration. Like most things that John has to offer, I thought
that this might just be worth doing. So I did. Today was the first day for
me to fly in quite a while. The weather has been just a little bit cranky
and I have done other things instead.
My ASI had been reading a bit high compared to my GPS. Not too much, but
about 4-5 MPH. This time when I took off I noticed right away that it was
reading a lot slower. My first reaction was to lower the nose to get some
more airspeed, then I remembered that I had modified the tube. My indicated
airspeed was now reading a few MPH under the reading from the GPS, but much
closer to what I considered the true airspeed. I did a stall, and found
that my stall occurred just where it always did. It is very possible that
the angle that I cut was closer to 20 degrees than 45, so I am wondering
with the right angle cut would it read closer to what my GPS is telling me?
It was a beautiful morning and the air was crystal clear, and I took
video's of the Owyhee for about 39 miles. If I get ambitious I may post a
bit of it on the web.
I also reached a milestone today. I finally filled a log book today. It
only took me 15 years to fill it completely full. Pretty pathetic! 342
hours just piddling around, legally of course. Another couple of hundred as
a fat UL.
