My deck is 9.5" tall. I'm 5' 8". The straps just clear my
shoulders with my jacket on.
I could have got another inch by running them through slots
on the top of the deck and putting little covers over them,
sort of like those teardrops on radial engine cowlings, like
on this 195. That would look kinda neat!
Oh yeah, Notice that the deck profile is oval, not round.
This puts the strap outlets higher while letting the
overall height be lower. It also fairs the deck/fuselage joint
almost flush.

I just saw this somewhere else in the last couple of weeks with a

Dave,
It looks very good. I like the way you terminated the cowling for the rear cockpit
too. I was wondering how big a curve to use and yours is looking about right.
thanks again,
Jim B.

| Subject: | paint matching and auto enamel |
Hey,
My new paintjob isn't going to involved lots of color, but rather the nose,
turtle decking and edging of all tail surfaces and wings. I'm also going
with a rather unusual green, and thought that I'd simply get some latex
mixed up, but then I need to find an easy way to match some enamel for the
cowling and metal parts.
Can I go to an auto parts store, or an auto paint shop and have them match
my latex color chip? And. if I use car enamel, might that not be too
brittle? Can they leave some of the hardeners out?
Thanks to Don E, I know a place which will mix up Randolph enamel, but they
want a huge price and I only need a couple of quarts.
Any thoughts??

Douwe. I had the same problem. Latex on everything except the nose, and th

sanding job and put =0Aa primer on that would hold the latex on and it loo

Douwe, most auto paint places will custom blend colors to match a sample that you
bring to them. If you are just painting the automotive paint onto aluminum
or steel, then no need to have them mix in any plasticizer into the paint. They
do have such flex additives that they mix in if painting on flexible surfaces
like plastic car bumpers and such, but it shouldn't be necessary for your
needs.

The truth comes out about the paint latest paint job on N8031: it's
Sherwin Williams auto paint applied over the original latex. The owner
who painted it last had his neighbor add some floetrol to some remnant
paint he brought home. You saw it - it looks pretty good. Why not just
paint your whole plane with the automotive stuff?
