Tom,
A good friend of mine was an F-14 pilot with the call sign of Gummy. His
last name in real life is Guibault, pronounced Geebo. I really enjoy the
stories of where these names come from. He talks of Tuba, Tonto and many
others. There was "Insufferable butt head" but I'm sure that was
shortened. Jim is one of the best story tellers I have ever met. Does
that come specifically from flying really fast, cool planes or can any
pilot acquire this skill?

Rick,
I agree with Jim. Your Mil Spec epoxy primers will stop 7 out of the 8
possible types of corrosion of aluminum. Guess which one the primer doesn't
protect against? Right, Filiform corrosion. Alodine prevents 4 types of
corrosion, including Filiform (which is the nastiest type). Alodine also
improves the adhesion of your primer and paint to the aluminum. You need to
do both to truly prevent corrosion.

--> RV-List message posted by: Mickey Coggins <mick-matronics@rv8.ch>
Hi,
I'm looking for something that may not exist, but
thought I'd check here. I need a sealer or glue
that will flow pretty well when wet, but will
dry kind of like hard rubber. My fallback is
to mix up some epoxy and try to put some pigment
in it, but I'd prefer it if the result had just
a bit of flexibility. Does anyone know if such a
product exists, and where I can buy it?
Thanks,

Mickey,
My suggestions would be:
Proseal
Sikaflex (spelling? - the stuff for glueing canopies) - may be
too hard?
RTV (not hard enough?)
What are you trying to glue/seal? (Only tell me if you don't have to

Hi Terry,
That's a good idea, and is another possibility. I think
that would be better than using something like West System
epoxy, since it would be more flexible. Of course, if I
can find it in black it would better!

Hi Jerry,
OK, I'll come clean. Here's a photo:
http://rv8.ch/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=photos&id=DSC03025
I'm trying to fill in the gap between the canopy and the side
rail. I've already glued it nicely with Sikaflex, but I didn't
make the fillet very smooth. Now I'm looking for a way to
fix this, otherwise I'll be constantly looking at some funky
Sikaflex while sitting in my cockpit making airplane noises.
Thanks for any hints!

where they come together at the leading edge of the HS?
Mine fit pretty well, but they still need a little work. I'm trying to get an

I did some digging around on the Net and found some black pigment for epoxy
from a marine supply house somewhere up around NY or Conn- don't recall the
name or find the receipt, but it worked great for around the front of the canopy.
Google "epoxy tint marine" and you should be able to find it. It was
available in several colors... Worked really well.

The product you want is NP-1. Fantastic glue and caulk. Found at GOOD
hardware stores and building material stores. I glued my air ducts to
the fuselage with it and the pieces will tear before the NP-1 gives.
At the shop we had two small squares of alum fastened together with it
- 3/16 between pieces for testing.
The guys never did tear them apart.

You can get class A ProSeal (or ChemSeal) from several distributors over
here. See my article on Tank Sealant on Doug Reeves site in the articles
section, it gives the info on a couple of distributors. However, you can
thin the class B sealant with toluene. That is all they do to make class A
sealant.. You can add up to 15% toluene by weight without changing the
properties of the sealant. I believe that Class A has about 7% toluene
added to get that consistency.
I expect that the color of the tank sealant will be more grey than the color
of your Sikaflex however. If you go the epoxy route, West System has a
graphite powder (#423) than can be used to create a black result. Epoxy
will cure much harder, with no flexibility however, which may not work as
well.
Good luck,

Thanks Larry for the info on leveling the plane. However, on the 6a the
mains must be raised (a lot) to get the top longeron level. I had considered
using the engine hoist with a sling around the rear fuse but that puts a lot
of the weight on the front gear. Not sure I like that.
Anybody else out there with a successful method for the trike geared?

Tom, did you lift the 6A rear fuse just in front of the empannage to get it
level? Any concerns about the weight on the front gear?

Any reason why you can't determine the longeron angle when on the mains
and nose gear and then apply that same angle during the wheel pant
installation?

You could always push the tri-gear onto some small wooden ramps, to raise the mains

Make some jack points for the tie downs in the wings and jack it up... This
is what I did with my -8A...
I can take photos of the jack points I made and the jacks I use if you need
them...

Dale, I used a nylon triple strap type hanger. 2 straps on the engine mount
and 1 forward to the engine hoist bracket in the center of the engine case.
This method applies very little stress to the engine case but allows for a
flying profile without propping the fuselage and possible damage......big
dent in front of the empennage.

Just depends on whether you care about speed & economy.
If all you care about is how it looks on the ground, and you don't mind
sacrificing "free speed," then rig 'em however's convenient to you.
To optimize low drag, you really gotta rig your wheel pants in trail with
the gear completely unloaded...simulating the in-flight condition.
