Adrian,
I didn't even think of rivet nuts - wish I had since had take off one edge of the
tee to get them to fit in the capstrip butted up against the ply.
Do you have pictures of how you handle leading edge of the panel? Is it just flat
against the wing leading edge? Are you concerned at all about water getting
into the wing?
Thanks,
Dan

Mark,
I got my insurance through the EAA guys (Falcon). The requirements for me were
as follows: TW endorsement, 10hrs dual with a CFI in my aircraft (type might
be acceptable, too), 10hrs solo in my aircraft, then I could take passengers.
You, the CFI, and the plane are all covered during the period.
Things have changed in the industry since the failure of the banks and bailout
of AIG.

Guys,
In looking for 1.5mm plywood, I called Boulter Plywood and asked for 1.5mm Okume
plywood, and they gave me a price of $49 per 4x8 sheet. Since I had seen their
ad earlier this year for $29 for the same sheets, I was sorry that I had missed
the sale. So I searched and came across a site that has 1.5 mm Aircraft
Birch Plywood in 4.4 sheets - Plywood & Door, with several locations around the
US. Their cost is $23. per sheet, which translates to $46 for a 4 x 8. (Add
shipping and you have a pretty steep price.)
I mentioned this to Dick Navratil, and lamented the fact that I didn't jump on
the sale that Boulter Plywood listed in Sport Aviation. Dick emailed me back
the next day to tell me the ad was still there and current.
So, I called Boulter Friday afternoon, and told them I just saw the ad in the current
Sport Aviation, and they extended the price to me at $29 per sheet.
After they took the order they called back late in the afternoon, and said if I
wanted to add to the order they would extend the price, but they were going to
contact EAA on Monday - tomorrow - and rescind the price.
So, if you need gusset material, NOW is the time to jump on this and let them know
you just saw the ad, and want to place an order.
Please, however, do not mention this post, or my name, as I don't want my order
upset.
Best luck to all!

What I did was put a slight kink on all edges which makes for a wrinkle free and
fairly snug fit. Should be no problems with water especially in static mode.
I suppose one could put a very thin gasket material all around if moisture was
a concern.

If you look at the way the Stromberg carb is set up, you'll
see that the idle circuit opens up into the throat of the
carb right where the throttle butterfly plate contacts the
wall of the throat. In fact, when you pull back the throttle
all the way back to idle, that's the only time there is
enough 'signal' for the carb to pull fuel through that
circuit. You can see this by looking at Neal Wright's
diagram of the carb fuel circuits on pg. 2, here:
http://www.bowersflybaby.com/tech/Stromberg%20stuff.pdf
and the idle fuel circuit is sort of in violet.
By design, then, adjusting the idle mixture screw
should only affect the engine operation when the throttle
is at idle and your problem is not at idle... it's in the
first opening of the throttle as you come off of idle.
>From Harry Fenton, on the FlyBaby site: "Your stumble is
probably due to blocked or obstructed bleed hole. If one
of the bleed holes which serves as the transition from idle
to higher power settings is blocked, the engine will stumble.
Another possibility is that the holes where the throttle shaft
passes through the carb body are worn. If too much air is
pulled through the holes, then the mixture will lean out and
the carb will stumble until more fuel is available. If the
engine was previously used on a homebuilt, then perhaps the
carb air box was too small."
"If you look into the carb throat, there is an extremely
small hole just above the butterfly valve in the carb throat
which opens up a circuit from idle to mid-range power.If this
passage is obstructed, then the carb will stumble as the
throttle is advanced through the 1300-1500 rpm range.DO NOT
use compressed air to blow through the passage as you run the
very likely risk of pulling a sudden vacuum in the float chamber
and the float can implode or distort.The most correct way to
clear this passage would be to disassemble the carb and try to
clear out the passage with an ultrasonic cleaner."

Subject: | Re: throttle and brakes |
If you advance the throttle slowly does it still stumble? If so I
would consider that normal, as these carbs don't have an accelerator
pump. I've had two different A-65's with the NAS carbs and if you gave
them full throttle too quickly they would hesitate before going to full
throttle... just a thought.

are old 1947 dated multiple segment Hayes brakes with a rubber expansion bladder
and Gerdes master cylinders attached to the rudder pedals. I am wondering
if that style piston master cylinder has enough volume to really expand the
old brakes enough. the right one worked fairly well but the left one wouldn't.
I just finished putting .025" shims under most of the shoe segments on that
side and got them to work though the drum does get kinda warm after extended taxi.
if it doesn't break in soon I guess I'll do something else.also the Stromberg
has a bad dead spot. as it comes off idle. it was rebuilt according to the
tag that I got with DJ's paperwork.looks nice and clean inside but I have a
hard time getting it to take throttle especially till it warms up real good.once
it is past maybe a 1/2" on the lever it goes ahead and runs up great. and I
have played with the idle screw and probably have it !
> at 1 3/4 turns out now.no real improvement- seemed to run worse at 2 1/2 turns.it
is mounted with the bowl side against the firewall and the throttle shaft
forward. I thought that could possibly be an issue with the tail down, but
raising the tail doesn't seem to help. also I can hit the primer when it's stumbling
and trying to take power and it kills it so that tells me it is rich rather
than lean at that point.sometimes pulling carb heat seemed to help some but
there sure isn't any icing here with the humidity as low as it is in the Texas
panhandle right now.the mixture is wired full rich.it runs plenty strong if
you can get it to go past the dead spot.just wondering if any of you have run
into similar issues with your Stromberg? Raymond

Subject: | Re: throttle and brakes |
Yes it does make sense- I never open an aircraft throttle fast.and no matter how
slow I try to open it -it still tries to die unless I pull it back to idle-but
sometimes I seem to be able to pull it back and when it starts to level back
out open it fairly quickly -to a point maybe 1/2" or so in travel it gets past
the stumbling point and picks up-then it does OK from there on.I have wondered
about the design of the intake where it divides to the two runners going up
to the heads.it is a 90 degree elbow with the carb neck welded in the center
of it and it could be possible at some flow rate I guess that it could just be
too turbulent? probably not.anyway it is odd and repeatable.and seems to get
better as the head temp gets up over 200. and also it did seem at times like
the carb heat being on helped some but I do not like running it on the ground
like that since I fly from dirt. runway

I just switched over from a Marvel Shebler to a Stromberg due to the AME fe
eling that the Marvel may have had a float problem.The only one we could fi
nd around was the Stromberg.Not sure how it will work out.One problem we ha
d to fix right away was the fuel line needed to be longer by about 3 inches
.Still waiting for new fuel line so I can't test it.
Sure hope everything works out OK.With the old carb I had to constantly pri
me in order to start thus the reason for the AME to believe there might be
a float problem.Once the engine did start with the Marvel it did have a pro
blem with throttling up as well which it never had before.Perhaps that may
have been part of the float problem too.Nothing but engine problems this su
mmer=2Cone thing after another preventing me from flying.Very frustrating s
eason for me.Here's hoping next season will be better!
