It would probably be a good temporary solution for you.

It was very durable, showed people where to step and made the surface not slippery when wet. I guess it did its job... ;-) Darrell --- Tim Bryan wrote: > > > > My plane is not yet painted.

It had suction cups on one side. He slapped it down on the wing, got in, then reached over and removed it.

This instrument was never installed and is in perfect condition. Item was purchased less than 1 year ago. I no longer have the paperwork for it. It would go nicely in an experimental aircraft. The speed range is 0 - 250 mph or 215 knots. There are no markings for flap range, caution range or redline. The instrument size is 3 1/8 in. Cost new for this item is well over $400 at Aircraft Spruce. I am selling it for $325. Please contact me off-list. I can be reached at sbrown@ginnracing.com Cheers!

Instead of a smooth color, they make a frosted type that simulates etched glass. It has a textured surface that gives some grip. It lasts a long time, takes abuse and removes fairly easy (it's opaque). I use it for protecting painted surfaces as well. Another product that comes in handy is the carpet protector, sold at home depot-lowes. It a clear film that has a "post it" type of adhesive. So its temporary at best, but protects well.. Part of my biz consists of a custom graphics shop, so I'm sure I've got 3m frosted stuff kicking around. Email me off list and I'll send you a square to test. If you decide you need some, I can precut to emulate the wing walk. Also I can run it through our plotter to cut any shape (even cut letters into it), just cover cost of materials.

I used a Powersonic PS-1251FP 5.4 amp hour battery for the standby circuit of my dual Lightspeed system. Powersonic makes a wide variety of these small batteries in a many shapes and sizes (I think Panasonic does also). They are cheap (something like $30-40 dollars) and seem just fine for this type of application.

In one of his aircraft systems CDs George Orndorff suggests that a placement allowing a 42 inch diameter ground plane will give best performance and range for a comm antenna. He placed two antennas as close to the center line as he could without placing them in the elevator tunnel. He placed them just to the right of the center line with the first just behind the spar and the second a couple of feet behind. His concern with placing them, as I have seen on some RVs, parallel to each other just in front of the spar was that the performance might suffer particularly to the right of the right antenna or to the left of the left antenna where the ground plane would only extend about eight inches. That being said I think it probably looks nicer to have them parallel. Questions: When the wings are mounted do they count in the measurement of the ground plane thus eliminating the chance for poorer performance laterally? Has anyone had experience that might confirm or deny parallel or in- line antenna performance? Thanks in advance Dave Cudney Don't 4get the Riverside Airshow is coming up on March 31 Those RVers who would like to are invited to come by the Hangar (GM 1 just west of the tower) for Hamburgers and Hot dogs. It is also a great place to view the Airshow. ________________________________ Message 16 ____________________________________ Time: 10:54:25 PM PST US From: Paul Besing Subject: Re: RV-List: Alternate tailwheel ? Could it have been the Bell tailwheel fork? If you have the time to wait for one, they are fantastic. One of the best pieces of machining for aftermarket RV parts (and better than most standard RV parts) I've ever seen. Pricey, and it might take a few months to get. I know Vince was offering one too, but haven't seen it. Either way, the new angle of tailwheel brackets are awesome. I love my Bell tailwheel fork. Never thought it would make that much difference, but it really does.
