Yes, but Jerry at least for a moment that airplane building induced black
hole between my ears flickered ever so briefly...........
Another builder on a plastic airplane building list sent this out. This guy
says you can cut the stuff as long as you seal the cut end. Get the stuff
in string form or tape form. I'm still thinking under the glare screen this
just may be the cat's meow...............cheap and way too easy to install.

Superfil is easy to sand, and does the job, however, what I did not like
about superfil is the dry time. Pretty much count on overnight or at least
all day. Instead, I used Evercoat. It is a finishing glaze for body work.
It dries as fast as bondo, goes on thinner, and the bottle goes a long way.
If after you sand it and find some pinholes that you missed, filling is a
snap due to the dry time.

I am at the point on my RV-8 of installing the panel, engine, and top
forward fuselage skin. What is the best order? It seems to me it would be
a lot eaiser to install the instruments and engine before the top skin. Is
there a disadvantage to doing it this way? Any thoughts would be
appreciated.
Thanks,

Burt, several listers have reported that Superfil is easy to sand. I find that
Superfil is no easier to sand than West Systems Marine grade (medium speed hardener)
epoxy with microballoons. A West System slurry is easy to mix and you
can readily tailor the viscosity. Superfil is light blue and looks funny until
it is painted. I had earlier tried a microballoon slurry of Tap Plasics marine-grade
epoxy using a fast hardener and found it hard to sand. Leland in Pleasanton,

Here's a question for all you wise persons
On Van's drawings, there are 2 separate lines running from the brake
fluid reservoir all the way to the brake cylinders.
Why not run a single line to the center of the bagage bulkhead and then
split the lines up in lines going to the brake cylinders??
I realize there are brake cylinders with build in reservoirs, however,
being 6'6" I need the rudder pedals as far forward as possible. I am
afraid that the reservoirs interfere with the firewall.
Thanks
Gert

Went to the home wing this morning. the 10 has 23 hours on it, nice air
plane, was told the # are coming out as they hoped.
asked how many hours they had to fly off and was told 50.
I believe you and I can have a second person in the air plane during the fly
off time to record data also.

Flying Stories

About a week ago, I took one of my nephews, 6 years old, flying in the
Rocket. He asked what all the buttons on the stick did. I explained how
the 4 way trim button helped fly the plane. He seemed to enjoy the ride and
we were returning to the field when the stick got very heavy. I started to
get worried that something was wrong with the plane when I looked up at the
trim indicator. It was moving toward full nose down. I got on my button
but it didnt help. The plane was starting to be a hand full as the speed
was still over 140 KIAS. When the bell went off in my head and I asked him
if he was moving the button on the stick. He replied he was helping me fly.
Once I asked him to stop, my button took control and trim control was
regained. I had forgotten that I had told him I would let him fly.
Today, I was flying with my daughter. As we were taxiing out, she said that
she didnt want me to think she was a terrorist but she didnt want to learn
to take-off or land but wanted to learn to do basic acrobatics. :-)
During the flight, I was doing a loop. I tend to pull too hard over the top
and, once in a while, stall upside down. This time the top was fine but as
I started to pull the nose up, the stick got very heavy again. I pulled and
pulled but lost lots of altitude. Once again, I looked to the trim
indicator, and it was moving toward full nose down again. This time, I was
causing it. Somehow, the web of my hand, between the thumb and index
finger, was high enough on the stick to bump the trim switch without my
feeling it.
