Robert, What an exciting time for you. Hope everything goes well.
Where are you going to keep her? I'd love to fly down and meet the both
of you. As far as Brodhead, the more the better. Right now I'm in the
dog house. Last night I told my wife I was flying to Brodhead right
after I returned from my motorcycle trip. She didn't seem too pleased
with the idea. Guess I'll know for sure when she starts talking to me
again.

Subject: | Re: Digital Scale |
Just remember as mentioned a earlier post...Viscosity/weight is different between
the two. I would purchase two new containers and weight each one before opening
them. Record the difference. That difference should be your starting point
between each half. Then you'll have better accuracy in amounts of material to
mix....make sense?...

Thanks for the ideas. What is the largest amount (in grams or ounces) you have
weighed up at one time? Would a 200g (.457 oz) capacity be large enough?
There are a few reasons for weighing;
1.Consistency. I've noticed varying cure times. When it's still a little "tacky"
the next morning, It makes me worry a little, although it always fully hardens
up.
2. Accuracy. I've been using small plastic cups, it's tough to scrape every last
bit out of the individual cups.
3. Ease and efficiency. If you are right in the middle of gluing everything,
it's starting to set up and you run out and need that just a little more.
Gordon Bowen <gbowen@ptialaska.net> wrote:
It's a good rule of thumb on ratios of resin to curative, for most commerically
available epoxies used for laminations. The density diff between the
two makes the gram ratio 100 parts resin and about 88 parts hardener, or 100:100
based on volume. Most epoxy systems you can buy off the shelf are somewhat
forgiving on the ratios, so 83-93 parts hardener to 100 parts resin by weight
will work out just fine.

I believe that the ratio by weight is 83 to 100. Going by memory here.
They don't say what the ratio by weight is anywhere on the bottle or isntructions, but they do have a data sheet on their web site that has it. Go to http://www.systemthree.com/p_t_88.asp and click on the technical data sheet. I am running out the door now or would look it up and post it.

I bought one here...
http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/
I used it when making ribs to measure out one part of the T-88. One of the parts
has a higher mass per volume so you have to measure the volume of the other
part visually. It was good for getting the right amount to start with. T-88
instructions say to mix 2 parts of equal volume. When I was ready to mix by
equal mass I could see that the volumes where different so the scale didn't
really end up giving me the precision I was hoping for. I think you can get pretty
good precision using identical translucent plastic containers and a block
of wood or straight edge behind them as a reference point.
I documented my discovery here...

Subject: | Continental A-75 Cooling Baffles (eyebrows) |
I want to replace the J-3 cub style "eyebrows" on my GN-1 Aircamper. I
can't seem to stop all the cracks in these things.
I would like to build essentially a square baffle, instead of the rounded
design like the J3 baffle. What are the design considerations for these
baffles? The only criteria I believe I've ever seen is that you are to have
a certain pressure differential between the top and bottom of the cylinders
to maintain adequate cooling. Obviously that would be difficult to
calculate accurately.
My plan is to essentially match the frontal area of the J3 baffle, and have
a similar downard taper towards the rear of the baffle. My guess is that
this is to increase pressure above the cylinders, to maintain adequate
cooling flow accross the cylinders.
What am I missing? Who else here has created their own baffles, and what am
I not thinking about? I fly this plane a LOT, so these have to cool the
engine properly.
