Hi Listers,
The List of Contributors (LOC) is just around the corner! On December 1st
I post a list of everyone that so generously made a Contribution to support
the Lists. Its sort of my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a
minute to show their appreciation for the Lists.
Won't you take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of
Contributors? As a number of people have pointed out, the List seems at
least, if not a whole lot more, as valuable as a building/flying/recreating
tool as a typical your magazine subscription. We won't even talk about a
newsstand price... :-)
Won't you take minute and assure that your name is on the upcoming
LOC? Tell others that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to
support the Lists is fast and easy using your Visa or M/C on the SSL Secure
Web Site:

or by popping a personal check in the mail to:

I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution
thus far in this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support
that keeps these Lists going and improving! Don't forget to include a
little comment about how the Lists have helped you! I love to feel the
love... :-)

Hi Mickey,
Sorry for the confusion. If you want to apply additional adhesive to metal
or Plexiglas anytime after two hours you should reclean the previously primed
area with Sika 226 Cleaner and reprime with Sika 209 Primer. The primer is a
very thin polyurethane paint that dries very quickly.
I found that if you just want to build up additional adhesive on top of
existing adhesive you can scuff the old adhesive with Scotchbrite and clean with
isopropyl alcohol. Wait 10 minutes and apply the added adhesive. The resulting
joint between the old and new adhesive is undetectable.
The effects of UV need to be considered. Sika recommends blocking direct
sunlight on the adhesive with opaque band much like to see on car windshields
(for the same reason).
The Sikaflex 295UV is designed specifically to bond with plastic...plus is
has the advantage of being sandable and paintable. I not sure that Silpruf has
these properties but may work just as well.
Hope this helps clear up the confusion.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the info. I'm not sure if silpruf is sandable -
that's a good consideration. I've ordered some and I'll
check it out. Where did you pick up your sikaflex, primer,
and cleaner?
Thanks,
Mickey

--> RV-List message posted by: "Chris Good" <chrisjgood@lycos.com>
Kosta,
I reported high fuel pressure readings a couple of months ago, also typically at
idle power. I first checked the breather, as I saw a report that a breather
blockage could cause a high fuel pressure reading. Then I checked & cleaned
the sensor contacts. No change. Finally I replaced the sensor. This was on
a GRT EIS-4000. Readings have been normal for the last couple of weeks. I guess
after 4.5 yrs & 800 hrs, the sensor just needed replacing.
Regards,
Chris Good.

George:
1) NEVER adjust a pipe thread fitting by backing it out.
2) ALWAYS use thread sealant on metal pipe threads carrying fuel, oil or
hydraulic fluid. The sealant also acts as a lubricant that will generally let
you tighten a fitting enough to get it to the correct position. Nylon fittings
for air and vacuum lines do not require sealant.

--> RV-List message posted by: JEllis9847@aol.com
Hi Mickey,
I purchased the Sikaflex 295UV adhesive, the Sika 226 cleaner, and the Sika
209 primer from Jamestown Distributors.
Their phone number is 800 423-0030 (also 401 253-3840) . They are a boat
builder supply store located in Rhode Island.
I have had good service from them, and they sell this stuff in less than case
lots. They also take credit card orders
over the phone.
They also have a web page www.jamestowndistributors.com
Because some of these items are flammable they have to be shipped by ground
so it could take a while to receive depending
upon where you live.
If you get some let me know what you think about it.

FYI:
The much awaited new version of the Dynon D-10 software just showed up
on their website:
http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/EFIS_D10_downloads.html
Haven't had a chance to fly it yet, but I've heard that it takes care of
the "leaning" issue pretty well.

I am a new sub and wannabe RV-9Aer. Trying to calculate avail space, i.e.,
garage w/loft and small workshop, 12'x16' (plan to extend 4 or 5 ft). Will
greatly appreciate stand-alone length of QB fuselage and length, width,
thickness of stand-alone QB wing. Thanks. Ken Alderman in Simpsonville, SC.

Ken,
If you can make it over to Columbia, SC some time, you can see a finished
RV9A and an RV6A "QB" under construction.
