So, how many of you noticed that the third window on this Bo is an
airbrush special?
Nobody?
Gee, I wonder why...

Randy and Bob,
I was at Sam's forum as well. Best I can tell from my notes, Sam's
'clear clay' source is Sun Coast Resins, 800 282 9498.
Hope this helps...

Randy,
Last week at OSH I attended a forum by Sam James (Fiberglass for RVs) and
he said "clear clay" is best . . . I didn't have a pencil so didn't write
down the vendor . . . and am trusting my failing memory!
Sam is easy to contact and very willing to answer questions.

Listers,
I'm selling my RV-6 kit so that I can build an RV-10 (expanding family
makes the -6 too impractical at this time).
I've got all four kits, all major structure is complete, wings & emp are
rigged and it's ready for engine/prop/instruments.
The project is located on Long Island, NY and I'm asking $12k, OBO. Please
e-mail me directly if interested or for more information/pictures.

SNIP Hi folks,
Can someone tell me what material is being used for a seal between the
canopy Plexi and the skirts and where to obtain it? Van's said they use
a bead
of
window sealer.
Thanks,
Bob Trumpfheller SNIP
************************************
I have used both ProSeal or clear silicone caulk. Either works well.
You can't paint over the silicone, but it's not as messy as the ProSeal.
Proseal is managable when put into a baggie and applied like cake
frosting from a small hole snipped in one corner.
Either will make the canopy noticably more rigid and will eliminate the
squeaks that will develop between the plexi and the frame.
Vince

FYI
Experimental Aircraft Technology magazine had an in-depth feature article on
the performance and flying qualities of the RV-9A.
It was evaluated and written by Brien Seeley & CJ Stephens of the CAFE
foundation.
Part 1 came out in the May-June issue, part 2 came out in the July-August
issue.

Long Eze dude said it's used everywhere. The more intense the curve, the
smaller the pieces of tape. Build up with little ones, then start blending
it all with longer pieces, stretched and pulled as necessary. I haven't
really tried it yet, but plan to eventually.

I'm on it. I'll try it and let you know. Really makes sense when you think
about it. I need to build an empennage fairing from scratch for my -3 and
I've been noodling over how to bridge the gap and create a shape. This duct
tape thing my be just the solution.
Cheers,

Be carefull streching duct tape on inside curves, the tension will pull loose in
the curve and make bulges in your layups. I've had it happen and ended up throwing
away an otherwise good part. I prefer to use clay polished with water and
sealed with PVA Partall 10.

ordered a set of tie downs two months ago and have not heard a word out of
him. He does not respond to e-mail. He has my money. Any ideas? Thanks.

To make the duct tape process even better, wipe a couple of coats of
paste wax ..... the stuff you used to use on you car ..... to make the
parts come off even easier. Don't scrimp!!!

I had a stuck oil ring on one of my cylinders for my IO360.
the ring came off clean from the piston, but there are some (very) hard
deposits in 2 or 3 small places in the groove.
what is an acceptable method to remove these deposits, walnut
blasting?? mechanical ring groove cleaner?? some other scraper
contraption?? chemical??
interested to know what method(s) the old hands use.
Thanks

A busted section of the ring that out of that grove will work. Just be
careful not to scratch the piston deeply. Don

======================================
And how many homebuilders have the top of the line ProE 3D parametric solids
modeling package available to them? ;o) I can't afford it, so I use AutoCAD
Inventor Release 8.
Any cheap CAD program out there should be able to be able to output the
required .dxf file that the laser or water jet cutter subcontractors should need
to cut your panel. You don't really need the high end stuff. The panel is
really just 2D.

--> RV-List message posted by: "David Burton" <dburton@nwlink.com>
There is a special tool that is made to clean out the ring groove. I own
one, but I'd start with a methyl chloride (carb cleaner) soak though to see
what you can dissolve off the piston. You should be able to completely
clean the piston without using a tool. It's almost impossible to use even
the tools made for this purpose without damaging the piston. Here's a quote
about it:
"Unless the piston grooves are clean and free of scratches, oil cannot form
a film to keep the ring from contacting the piston ring groove. Any carbon
deposits or scratches in the ring groove will cause the oil film to be
ineffective, leading to premature wear, loss of compression, and oil
consumption. Scraping piston grooves with a special tool or a broken ring
results in scratching the groove and is one of the reasons rebuilt engines
do not last as long as new engines. How then do you clean piston grooves? It
's easy. Soak them in carburetor cleaner, and use a non-metallic brush that
can't scratch the groove. Sometimes a second soaking and brushing are
required. Hot tanks with strong, caustic solvents will dissolve the hardest
deposits and leave clean, shiny grooves".
Good luck!

--> RV-List message posted by: "Glen Matejcek" <aerobubba@earthlink.net>
Hi All-
I'm working on the FWF of my -8, and it looks like my throttle cable is
going to be pretty close to my aft crossover tube. The engine is an angle
valve (I wonder why they don't just call them hemi's...) and the cable and
it's associated bracketry are from Van's. I'm envisioning firesleeve on
the cable as a minimum, and perhaps some rigid shielding. How much
clearance does one need to protect a naked cable, and what have you guys
been doing for shielding, if anything?
As ever, thanks in advance to those who have been there, done that!
