Wow that's a familiar phrase, especially when looking for Williamson Pa airport
and the FSS

Thanks Ryan, I will send these heads out and will take your advise to hand scrub
the case. This one is going flying and I will be behind it, the one that I have
in the rail (VW) only flies for a couple of seconds and then we are back in
the bumps! I am having a blast doing this one but I really want all the input
from my fellow builders, I am not into re-inventing the wheel. Thanks you for
all your help, Joser.

Jose,
For what it's worth, I got good results scrubbing the case with a 1:1
mix of kerosene and MEK in a plastic tote big enough to hold one case
half. I used a stiff, nonmetallic brush & all the oily gunk &
"varnishy'" stuff just kind of melted off - left a very nice, shiny
case.

Well, I rolled 41CC out of the hangar this afternoon, dreading what I would find
when I checked to see what type of piano hinges Corky used on the ailerons.
The light of day revealed rolled hinges and my heart sank (sunk?). I was so
disappointed, so fearful that the airplane is unsafe, that I fired up the engine
and went out to fly!
Folks, the airplane flies just fine with rolled hinges. There are a couple of
feet of hinge on each side, and if you get flutter going so badly that the hinges
open up enough to cut the aileron loose, you've got more to worry about than
losing an aileron.
I was so dismayed, in fact, that I flew out to Castroville to top off with fuel
and then set out to the west, to Hondo. On the way, I attacked and took out
the old steel railroad bridge that crosses the creek. Just to make sure that
the supply trains didn't make it past the bridge somehow, I went ahead and strafed
the long train that was making the loop on the tracks that go around Dunlay
on Hwy. 90, and the one behind it coming out of Hondo. They must have sent
word that I was coming in to Hondo because when I landed, there was not a single
solitary soul to be found, nobody came out to even watch me land, so I never
even shut down... I taxied back out and made an intersection takeoff and they
all stayed hidden till I left. I'll tell you, the sight of 41CC and the roar
of the 65 send them scattering for cover. I'll have to scout that bridge again
soon to make sure they don't rebuild it, and if they do... look out!
Peace reigns over the San Geronimo landscape, and Steve Dortch's newly-painted
red Suburban got a little wash job a while later as a squall line passed over
our little runway. The airplane with the rolled hinges was safely in the hangar.
Don't worry about the hinges. Go fly!

Good one! When you think about how much metal is
in that piano hinge and how much less is in the
original strap hinges, well, there shouldn't be any
question. Right? :-)
