    Subject: Re: >Re: Preparing the engine cowl for paint
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Neil Henderson" <neil.mo51@btopenworld.com> A tip I picked up when visiting a professional aircraft painter recently is to use a automotive 2 pack primer/filler. Mix a batch without any thinners and wait until it starts to go off, gets sort of stiff, then apply it with a rubber squeegee, the sort you use for grouting tiles in you bathroom. Press it in hard and try not to leave excess on the surface. Rubs down a breeze and you can prime up in hours not days, You might need a couple of go's to get all the pin holes. Worked well for me.

    Subject: Re: > Re: Large Fly Cutter - SAFETY
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Jim Jewell" <jjewell@telus.net> Safety 101 It's worth saying again: ALWAYS use a drill press for fly cutting. When using a fly cutter in a drill press always use clamps to hold the work piece firmly in place on the table. When possible (a large enough work piece) situate the work piece such that it is resting against the drill press post. In the case of shorter pieces, use a separate clamp to act as a stop to keep the work piece from spinning. These work pieces should held down to the drill press table with two or more clamps. A drill press vice should be used for the smaller pieces and it gets clamps holding it in place. Always manually rotate the cutter 360 degrees by hand to test for safely cutter clearance and accuracy before starting the drill press. Have a healthy respect for fly cutting as it might well be the most dangerous means of making holes. Putting clamps carefully in place takes less time than treating wounds. NEVER use a fly cutter free hand, with a hand held drill motor.

Old Dana Overall and I still disagree about the stuff; but, I'll >stick to my story. :-) > Can't resist:-) In my former life as plastic airplane builder I had the occasion to host two national gatherings. Prior to the first one, Smooth Prime and SuperFil were new to the market. I used the product then met with the owner of the company and agreed to do seminars on the application at the national glass gatherings. Here's what I found. Follow the instructions. Use a roller. Do not sand (especially wet sand between applications as Jim did....because "you always wet sand":-) until several coats have been applied. No, I have never had to wait for weeks. In the summer the material dries as fast as you can apply it. The primary advantage of Smooth Prime is pinhole and weave filling. Roll it on hard, press it into the pinholes and weave. Let it dry then sand all the way back down to resin or gel coat leaving only the former pinholes and weave with product in them then prime with your choice of primer.............what did I say, sand it all off and prime with something else. YES. Use it for pinhole and weave filling, that is where it does it's best. It's been a couple years since I was in the plastic world but it was the best I had found up to that point. There my be other products out there now but the water base, easy sanding qualities of Smooth Prime were an advantage over other applications at that time. Follow the instructions........................Ol Jim has a hard time doing that, wet sanding, final drilling and deburring:-) Dana Overall Richmond, KY i39 RV-7 slider, Imron black, "Black Magic" Finish kit 13B Rotary.

    --> RV-List message posted by: <sears@searnet.com> > Follow the instructions........................Ol Jim has a hard time doing > that, wet sanding, final drilling and deburring:-) > I find that insulting, to say the least. I did follow the instructions, except for the sanding. Nowhere in the instruction manual did it say anything about wet or dry sanding, that I could find. With that, and the fact that most of us wet sand for a nice finish with less dust to deal with, I wet sanded the product. As a result, the product did not meet my expectations. I told that to Dana when I used the product after I'd wasted more than a week on using it and removing it from my airplane when I was prepping for paint at my local FBO. Every time I've discussed this product, and he's defended it, he's told that I don't follow instructions. I read the manual and followed the instructions that were available. After he'd told me about the dry sanding, I went back and reviewed the manual and didn't see anything about dry sanding in the manual. Since there was nothing in it about dry sanding, and the fact I was not privy to the sanding limitations because I don't build plastic airplanes, I made the assumption that wet or dry sanding was OK. The product did not meet my expectations and still doesn't. I won't recommend Smooth Prime to anyone. As for the match drilling and deburring, one can come to my shop today and see that all of my wing skins, etc. have been match drilled on my new -7A. I've not deburred and dimpled them because I've not reached that point in the manual. My discussions on match drilling a while back were to incite discussion on the match drilling vs no match drilling contraversy. As I worked on my project, I could see there is no way one could go without match drilling because the holes don't line up for it, as is discussed in the manual. If anyone remembers, the main crust of the conversation concerned cracking in the holes, not the alignment of the holes. Since I started building my -6A in 1992, I've deburred holes. I still do it because I want the rivets to seat as nicely as possible. However, there is also contraversy on that subject. One can find support for either. Maybe Dana was just kidding; but, I didn't find it funny. I tried to warn a builder about a product I didn't find as good to use as others have. I still warn folks about that product and won't use it, myself. I did find a PPG fast fill primer that works nicely and will use it, or a similar product, on future fiberglass finishing. That product can be wet or dry sanded, by the way. Jim Sears in KY RV-6A N198JS (Scooter) RV-7A #70317 (Building wings. Fuse ordered) EAA Tech Counselor do not archive

    Subject: Re: >Re: Preparing the engine cowl for paint
    --> RV-List message posted by: "923te" <923te@cox.net> I'd like to offer my experience with smooth prime for what it's worth. I have some 150 hours or so working with the pruduct over several years. I too was a glass plane builder for several years. I was building a Pulsar. When Smooth Prime first came out we Pulsar builders had Poly Fiber come to our annual flyins several times and demostrate the product. I believe the persons name was John Goldenbaum. Anyway, it was very impressive and several of us bought it including me. We were told to apply the product with regular paint spray equipment. In fact John used an Axis turbine HVLP machine which he highly recommended. Because of his recommendation many of us bought a turbine HVLP machine including me. We were told to WET SAND between applications. As I recall the first application manuals stated these recommendations and had pictures of the turbine and WET Sanding. It was soon discovered by a Pulsar builder that the product could be rolled on and that wet sanding was taking a step backwards. The second time John came to our flyin he recommended not to use the turbine sprayer and sort of apologized to those of us who bought turbines to apply his product based on his recommendation. As time went on PolyFiber made changes to the product. They reformulated it and added another componenet that was to be added just prior to using it. This component was to cause it to set stronger. I believe they made two changes during the first few years and PolyFiber was very good to replace existing stock at charging only shipping in some cases. I was told to throw out what I had or use it on the garage floor. They then came out with a clear epoxy product to be used prior to smooth prime to help "bridge" the pin holes. Of course this could not be used on top of smooth prime. As far as waiting before painting over smooth prime, all the Pulsar builders would highly recommend it. And not only a few weeks but wait several months and leave it somewhere where it gets hot in the summer. Several builders who did not allow several months for the product to cure began to experience shrinking of the smooth prime which had various effects from seeing the weave appear in the paint to blistering, to paint coming off. Now I have not kept up with the latest from Polyfiber so they may have made more improvements since I was using it about 3 years ago. Many of us Pulsar builders were also sold on the water based paint products offered by PolyFiber and I understand they removed these from the market. They just did not stick very long after one started flying. The water based paint came off in sheets. When I finish my RV cowl I may review the current state of poly fiber's produsts but I will be much more interested in what the PROVEN technology is in the automotive world. I believe those Pulsar builders that stayed with the "OLD" technology, k36 I believe it was, still have excellent paint work with out any of the problems so many of us experienced with smooth prime.

    Subject: Re: Fuel Tanks
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Evan and Megan Johnson" <evmeg@snowcrest.net> Neal, you need that inspection hole to inspect the AN fittings on the fuel pick up. Those guys can (and do) loosen up on occasion. However, what you can do is install the pick up fitting for the RV 10. It is a machined aluminum deal, a lot like the quick drain flange, that mounts in the lower corner of the inboard rib (on the inside of the tank). Then you just thread a screened pick up right into it. Its pretty neat and you dont have to cut the inspection cover....The RV10 does not have an inspection cover at all. One other comment, you will hate trying to cut an inspection hole in at a later date if it becomes necessary. Just think big fly-cutter on an already finished tank :( I will post the part numbers for the pick up bits for the 10 when I get a chance to look at the plans.

The easiest way to check an N# is simply put it into Google's search field. The first hit will be the FAA database listing for that AC.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Jack Blomgren" <jackanet@hotmail.com> For thicker flycutting, and/or to reduce load and prevent sometime jagged or distorted breakthrough, turn the workpiece over and reclamp when the cutting tool is about halfway through. The pilot hole maintains concentricity. Also quite helpful for wood and plastics. Jack

    Subject: Re : My XCOM 760 order - off topic
    --> RV-List message posted by: Mickey Coggins <mick-matronics@rv8.ch> Hi, For those overly aggressive spam filters, here are some things you can do to help your E-mail get through: 1) Don't use HTML in the E-mail. Pretty fonts, imbedded images (stationary), and other fluffy stuff are favorites for spam filters. 2) Don't send an attachment unless it is expected and the other party is looking for it. Most viruses are spread with binary attachments, and many spam filters are a bit paranoid about them. 3) *Always* use a good subject. A subject like "order" is one that attracts spam filters, as is any other one or two word subject. Put something useful in there like "XCOM 760 order questions - Smith - #12345", assuming your order number is 12345 and your name is Smith. 4) Ensure that you don't have a typo in the destination E-mail address. This is the *number one* cause of lost E-mail. Probably the same at the post offices of the world. I've been sending and receiving E-mail for decades and have run many ISP-class E-mail systems for thousands of users. While recent attempts to reduce the amount of spam seem to be hurting E-mail more than spam itself (IMHO), I believe it is not accurate to just say that E-mail is not reliable. If you're consistently not getting your E-mail, get a better ISP.

    Subject: Re: > Re: Large Fly Cutter - SAFETY
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Terry Watson" <terry@tcwatson.com> OK, Jim's right of course. NEVER use a fly cutter without a drill press. But I remember a flight towards the end of my training in a T-37 when my instructor, Capt. Monty O. Lillard told me that I should NEVER do a low altitude aileron roll, but "just in case you do, I had better show you how so you don't kill yourself. Cinch up your shoulder harness." My head still hit the canopy when he slammed the stick forward as we rolled inverted. So, just in case you ever decide to use a fly cutter without a drill press, use a hand drill with a torque adjustment, like my 18 volt DeWalt. Dial the torque down so anytime the cutting gets difficult, it free wheels, or releases the torque on the fly cutter. The fly cutter is very prone to grabbing or digging in, especially when not precisely perpendicular to the surface, as it can be with a drill press. Anyway, I have heard that this works. Terry -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Jim Jewell Subject: Re: RV-List: > Re: Large Fly Cutter - SAFETY --> RV-List message posted by: "Jim Jewell" <jjewell@telus.net> Safety 101 It's worth saying again: ALWAYS use a drill press for fly cutting. When using a fly cutter in a drill press always use clamps to hold the work piece firmly in place on the table. When possible (a large enough work piece) situate the work piece such that it is resting against the drill press post. In the case of shorter pieces, use a separate clamp to act as a stop to keep the work piece from spinning. These work pieces should held down to the drill press table with two or more clamps. A drill press vice should be used for the smaller pieces and it gets clamps holding it in place. Always manually rotate the cutter 360 degrees by hand to test for safely cutter clearance and accuracy before starting the drill press. Have a healthy respect for fly cutting as it might well be the most dangerous means of making holes. Putting clamps carefully in place takes less time than treating wounds. NEVER use a fly cutter free hand, with a hand held drill motor. Jim in Kelowna

The cowl is high in several places. Ive already drilled the hinge on the fuse side once and am reluctant to do this again. It really needs more spacers. Im thinking about adding fiberglass over the fuse and building it up to match the cowl but Im concerned about the glass/filler cracking over time. Any suggestions?

I remember now that there is a plate over that hole. I am afraid of flycutters, anyway I don't have one either -- probably that's a good thing. I just used my air drill and drilled a circle of holes. That probably took less time than it would take me to find my clamps. Use some small diagonal cutters to clip between the holes, and file it smooth.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Scott VanArtsdalen" <svanarts@yahoo.com> You mean there's a good ISP out there? :-) Do not archive -- Scott VanArtsdalen RV-4 N311SV 4-ever! -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Mickey Coggins Subject: RE: RV-List: Re : My XCOM 760 order - off topic --> RV-List message posted by: Mickey Coggins <mick-matronics@rv8.ch> Hi, For those overly aggressive spam filters, here are some things you can do to help your E-mail get through: 1) Don't use HTML in the E-mail. Pretty fonts, imbedded images (stationary), and other fluffy stuff are favorites for spam filters. 2) Don't send an attachment unless it is expected and the other party is looking for it. Most viruses are spread with binary attachments, and many spam filters are a bit paranoid about them. 3) *Always* use a good subject. A subject like "order" is one that attracts spam filters, as is any other one or two word subject. Put something useful in there like "XCOM 760 order questions - Smith - #12345", assuming your order number is 12345 and your name is Smith. 4) Ensure that you don't have a typo in the destination E-mail address. This is the *number one* cause of lost E-mail. Probably the same at the post offices of the world. I've been sending and receiving E-mail for decades and have run many ISP-class E-mail systems for thousands of users. While recent attempts to reduce the amount of spam seem to be hurting E-mail more than spam itself (IMHO), I believe it is not accurate to just say that E-mail is not reliable. If you're consistently not getting your E-mail, get a better ISP.

    Subject: CFI BFR
    --> RV-List message posted by: Wheeler North <wnorth@sdccd.cc.ca.us> Is a Biannual Flight REVIEW legally defined as Instruction? That said my CFI flys in my plane, but his is almost done, so we're going to have to argue over which one gets flown next time around. This is a serious problem, in fact it may be my most serious problem... Ah, the sounds of freedom wrecking havoc over my head as I type this in the form of 5 bluish F/A 18s Bail this thing, see ya.... do not archive

    Subject: Re: CFI BFR
    --> RV-List message posted by: Jerry Springer <jsflyrv@earthlink.net> Short answer is yes. I believe Doug Rozendaal covered it in his post on the subject. The regulations do call for one hour of "flight instruction" and one hour of ground to qualify for a Flight Review.

    Subject: Mounting of Bendix Fuel Servo
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Emrath" <emrath@comcast.net> Does anyone have some pictures of their Vertical mounting of a Bendix F.I. Servo on the bottom of the sump as well as some shots of how they did their FAB? Could also use some picture of the fuel line runs, from firewall to engine pump, to fuel servo to distributor (mine is already mounted and lines to cylinders installed. I am finally to that point and could use a few pictures, as they are worth a thousand words. Thanks, just sent them directly to me or point me to a web site. Marty in Brentwood TN

    Subject: AZKO primer over zinc chromate primer
    0.50 MIME_BOUND_NEXTPART Spam tool pattern in MIME boundary --> RV-List message posted by: "David Fenstermacher" <dfenstermacher@earthlink.net> I am re-posting because I forgot to put anything in the subject line. Duh. --> RV-List message posted by: "David Fenstermacher" <dfenstermacher@earthlink.net> I started priming with the zinc chromate rattle cans. It sticks well, but just doesn't stand up to the handling during assembly, so I switched to AKZO. This is tough stuff and not that much more work to apply. I was wondering if anyone sees a problem with putting the AZKO over the zinc chromate (after prepping the zinc chromate surface, of course). Dave

    Subject: engine gaskets - grease?
    --> RV-List message posted by: "thomas a. sargent" <sarg314@earthlink.net> Since I plan not to have a vacuum system, I was about to screw down the plate that covers up the vacuum pump gear and noticed the gasket that was supplied with the plate. I recall that when I used to set the valves on my old VW, I always put on a new valve cover gasket and I always covered the new gasket with a thin film of grease first. My "VW Care for Idiots" manual said it would prevent oil leaks. Is it normal practice to apply some grease to gasket like this that will come into contact with engine oil? -- Tom Sargent, RV-6A
