Had a long talk with Danny Day...Rebuilt some engines for Homer Kolb
back when!! Retired engine builder in Phoenix now...Had an accident
that left him disabled.. So I got the poop on the engines that I have..
As to the wing covering...since I will likely sell the Firefly in a
year or two...will go with the standard covering method...
By the way.. Mild soap and water the best way to clean the Poly Tone
paint? Herb

Herb,
I would think that even fairly strong soaps like Simple Green or Dawn would
be fine for Poly Tone. You would want to stay away from harsh chemicals
that are used as solvents like MEK, Toluene, etc.
Poly Fiber has a cleaner that can be used I think they call it 310.
Aero-Thane (the shiny stuff) on the other hand should be impervious to most
chemicals.
Oil and gas stains should come off with a good soap. Bugs are a different
story.
The Poly Fiber manual recommends waxing with a good Carnauba wax. Which
reminds me, as soon as it gets warm enough, Serenity needs a bath and wax.
If I did only the leading edge and the nose cone would that be a "bikini
wax" ? :)

| Subject: | Lithium Battery Update |
I purchased a Aerovoltz Lithium Iron Phosphate battery last summer. As I
discussed last summer the battery is incredibly light. I received comments
that lithium batteries needed to be recharged often so I left the battery
in the plane last winter in Michigan. The engine started just fine this
week with no recharging.
I have ordered a balance charger and plan to balance the cell voltages from
time to time.
Last summer there was a discussion about Lithium batteries being sold in
AH equivalent capacities. This is true so if you have concerns about
battery powered devices continuing to run after the alternator quits you
may want to order a larger battery no matter what type of battery you
purchase.
Note! There is a notice on the Areovolts web site warning that Rotax
voltage regulator model 866 080 should not be used with these batteries.
They report that these regulators have been known to fail and over charge.
Apparently there was no fire but a
melt down.
Again worth what you paid for it.

There has been discussion and cautionary statements against using Simple Green
(Regular variety) where it will come in contact with anything aluminum. Supposedly
they make a blend that is OK with aluminum.
Dawn works great..... particularly if there is any petroleum based crud on the
surface.

| Subject: | Re: reinforcing tape |
John Ol' Buddy, hate to do this to ya, but... rib stitching a Kolb 5/16" rib has
worked for me for 18 years, and counting. I rib stitched my MKIII wing, vertical
fin, rudder, horizontal stab, elevator and ailerons when I built it, and
none of the ribs, stitches, or anything else is showing the least bit of problem
in any sense whatsoever. It works just fine. And we are still buds John, OK?
Get a big pot of coffee, a good friend, a couple of spare needles that you can
bend up or modify to fit around the drag strut or anything else that might be
inside and in the way because you still want everything to line up good - go for
it. Takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours per wing wing once you and your helper
get the hang of it and get into rhythm. Good times, good memories, thanks Greg,
thanks Muff, for being there to help me.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to get any liquid where I could not wipe it off right
away. Certainly not get it wet enough to creep in under fabric. That is just
asking for trouble.
My choice for light dirt and oily substances would be Dawn in a small bucket
of water with a sponge and a clean towel for drying.

| Subject: | Noise Canceling Ear Buds |
I purchased a set of Bose noise canceling ear buds QC20i The i is for
IPhone. They list for app. $300 but I found a set new on E-Bay for $220. I
purchased them primarily for better noise canceling on long commercial air
flights.
For grins I tried them under my Sigtronics headphones that I had installed
the Headphones noise canceling kit and went flying in my VW powered Kolb
MKIIIC. I have been using the passive sony ear buds under my headphones for
years but wanted a bit more. The results are impressive. I could still hear
the engine but it was just a purr. That big VW demands to be heard. I
turned the noise canceling off in the headset only and couldn't tell much
difference. Then I turned only the Bose noise canceling off, big difference
.
The only issue is they have a much lower impedance than the Sonys which
makes the radio and side band too loud. I turned the intercom all the way
down which helped but need more. I ran out of time but will try the radio
volume also. There is a volume control on the Bose units but that only
controls the IPhone volume. I'm going to look for a inline volume control
that could fit between the intercom out and the Bose if the radio volume
doesn't help.
As always worth what you paid for it.
