I would like to thank David Kulp for sending me this stuff for the threads
of my 912. I have been using just a little dab
of never seize. Always have on all my motors. Never had a problem. Also
put a silicone stuff around the top of the
plug - on the white part -- to keep water out. Was a problem with the
Cyunna engine. Got looking around and found a very
larg tube of silicone heat sink that came with my sling shot about five
years ago. Never gave it a thought. If this is
the same stuff, which I believe it is from the internet, I will give the
small tube to a friend of mine for his 912. Hope this
is okay with David. Still for a 912. Thanks much. I would be happy to
send the mailing money to him. Ted Cowan,

Subject: | A fairing for the Mk III |
There hasn't been a lot of building activity on the forum for some time.
Attached are two pics of the composite fairing I made for the aft end of
the fuselage pod on Ken Holle's Mk IIIX. I call it a duck tail for short.
The idea behind it is to help smooth the inflow to the prop, gain a little
efficiency and maybe decrease drag a little.
The first pic shows the profile of the duck tail and illustrates the
construction method used to make it, your basic Burt Rutan moldless
composite techniques. The shape was derived from pressure recovery shapes
developed for sail plane fuselages. The second pic shows the part mounted
on the airplane.
>From a block of large cell (flotation billet) Styrofoam I hot wire cut the
first side with the divot at the trailing edge and glassed it with two
plies of BID at 45 degrees. Peel ply was placed over the lay up and wetted
out. The drop from the cut was put aside to be used to hold the part for
the second cut and when the second lay up was done. TIP: When you make the
hot wire templates for a part like this, layout the nail holes (the
templates are attached to the foam with 10 penny finishing nails) in a
symmetrical pattern, stack up the templates and drill them all at one time.
That way you can pull off the first template, attach the second and they
line up perfectly.
The first lay up was rough trimmed with a box knife while the glass was in
the "green" stage. The second template was applied, the hot wire cut was
made and two more plies of BID were laid up and peel plied. Once again the
drop was retained for use later.
This second lay up was rough trimmed in the green stage too. I mixed up a
batch of heavy micro (glass micro balloons and epoxy) TIP: When the epoxy
will not absorb any more micro balloons put a drop or two of denatured
alcohol into the mix and it will absorb more. The idea is to make the mix
as light as possible. The heavy micro was used to fill the divot, and
scraped flush with the edges. A single layer of BID wide enough to cover
the micro in the divot was wetted out an a strip of plastic sheet, a second
piece of plastic sheet was placed over the glass and a squeegee was used to
push out as much epoxy as possible while still keeping the glass wet (this
method is known as the poor man's vacuum bagging technique). The top layer
of plastic sheet was carefully peeled off and the bottom sheet was used to
transport the lay up to the part. This lay up was applied over the micro
fill to seal it. This, too, was green trimmed and the whole part was
allowed to cure for a few days.
After the part was fully cured it was placed between the drops from the hot
wire cuts of the OML and the sandwich of part and drops was lightly clamped
with a few rail clamps. The hot wire was charged and most of the block on
the inside of the part was cut away. The inside of the mounting surfaces
were scraped with a Surform tool to remove all the residual foam and the
part was ready to trim to length and fit around the boom tube.
The mounts are two lengths of 1/2" X 3/4" 2024-T3 aluminum angle .062"
thick. They are held to the "H" frame uprights with three custom formed
Adel clamps. At 5 inch intervals Nut Serts were installed so the duck tail
could be attached with thin head 10-32 phillips screws.
The duck tail, the mounting rails, and all the hardware weigh less than a
pound and a half. Flight testing will be in a few days and we'll see if it
actually does anything or if it just looks cool. IMOH :-}

John,
Are you a fan of David Mallett or did you search for a fire song?
He's not well known outside New England. In truth he isn't known much
outside Maine.
A powerful song.

I am assuming that your question was aimed at me, since I made the video
and used the song. I am a fan of David Mallett, and I think I have all his
albums. He is quite a word smith, and I hope to hell he doesn't mind me
using it. Perhaps its use will encourage some to try some of his stuff. I
think I have sold a few Indian flute music CD's with my videos. :-)
