You then mix it with alcohol. Once mixed it has a very definite shelf life. Unfortunately that is how it's sold by nearly all mainstream suppliers. You can still get it in flake form, which lasts much much longer, from very high end and specialty paint and finish suppliers, even some high end wood working stores. It's non toxic, used by confectioners. Great for kids toys. It's the medium for French polishing. It's alcohol based, and completely non tolerant of alcohol, one reason why gas with ethanol is a no no in old carbs. It will simply dissolve the shellac.

ADS-B in and out with weather TFRs, app with antenna. For <$500. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad-elf/bad-elf-ads-b-affordable-weather-and-traffic-recei?ref=project_tweet The company has a pretty good rep. I myself think I will simply use my Anywhere Map on my tablet, and may buy something like this to go into busy airspace. I can also put my anywhere map on my cell phone as a backup. That keeps me legal (anywhere map counts as a current sectional.) Wish they would get transponders to come down in cost. My extensive research (At Aircraft Spruce) shows Mode S transponders running from $1500 up to $4000. And you still have to buy a harness. -- Blue Skies, Steve D ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:31:32 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: BPA Newsletter PDF From: "jarheadpilot82" The fact that you may not have received an issue any time in the lay 6-9 months is no indication of your dues status. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=451641#451641 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:47:13 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: ADS-B From: "jarheadpilot82" Steve, I like this option as well. I think it is a better option than the DIY Stratux adsb in. This bad elf has a GPS with it, and I do not believe the Stratux does. If you are wanting this for flying in certain airspace you really need the gps. From what I have read, the refresh rate on the gps inside the iPad, for example, is insufficient for such flying. YMMV. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=451643#451643 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 10:12:36 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: BPA Newsletter PDF From: John Hofmann Thanks Jack, Have a Happy New Year. New newsletter issue this week. Nice carburetor article by Bob Kachergius. You are good for three more issues. I think we are in a bit of a lull for family members dying and becoming quadriplegics. Lost a niece at Thanksgiving on the side of the family that is allergic to work. She left two nice little kids my wife and I are trying to deal with. We are using your engine builder to to overhaul a C-85 stroker for one of the training Cubs. That one swallowed a valve. We had a C-90 on it but a local IA was doing some work and decided to start the engine without the throttle cable attached. It went to half throttle, rocked forward on the chocks and made a nice curly cue out of the propeller. Worse was it trashed the crankshaft and the accessory case. We found a crank for 7K and decided it would be faster and easier to overhaul the 85. Say Hi to Susan! Best, -john- > On Jan 2, 2016, at 9:09 AM, Jack Textor wrote: > > > Happy New Year Hof!
