Is the Bell Tail Wheel still being produced? If so how does one get in
touch with Doug Bell Jr. to get one.

| Subject: | AF-2500 Calibration |
Hello Bobby,
AFS said to set the first cal point for manifold pressure to the ambient
condition. Then, pull a KNOWN vacuum with corresponding baro pressure
for the second cal point. When I start the engine, my manifold pressure
reads "9" at idle. What data appears in your cal menu for the second
data point for manifold pressure?
I believe a similar process is necessary for the Amp sensor.
Bill

I went "shopping" at Sears yesterday to look at spray guns to use for
priming parts (did not buy one, but bought their 24" digital level with
laser -- on sale for $44!!). They had 2 regular guns and one HVLP gun.
My question: does this HVLP gun get used with my regular air compressor
or would I need to buy a special air supply system? I didn't see
anything at Sears that looked like anything other than standard air
compressors. If the HVLP cannot be used with my regular compressor, I
will get a regular gun. Is there anything special I should look for?
What other stuff will I need? I do have a small water separator on the
output of my compressor and no inline oilers of any kind. Never painted
with anything but a spray bomb from Wal Mart ;)

I've flown into M88 a couple times. The service always seemed prompt and accomodating.
The provided a courtesy car and hunted down directions for where I needed
to go, though M88's location is a little tricky to drive to/from....then
again, its probably easier if a person follows directions.
Don't know much about JWN and BNA is the usual big airport with prices to match.
The FBOs at BNA are probably friendly---if you burn kerosene.

I do burn JP4 and go into BNA on a regular basis, but I also go to MQY,
Smyrna, quite a bit. They are very nice there and after checking the white
pages on VAF, I found other Rvers there, contacted some of them when I was
going to ROM and got a chance to visit with some, see their planes etc.
Murfreesboro isn't too far away and they seem real nice as well. I usually
just drop off and pick up there, but very friendly people. They kinda place
I will fly into when my -7 is done.

I think John C. Tune would be the would be the better choice between the
two.
M88 is an old small airport, harder to get to by car. JWN is a newer
bigger airport with easier access, both by plane and by car.

Bob,
All I use any more is HVLP. It's the BOMB! Less, way less, overspray, and
using a lot less material-saves$$$$$.
1) any good single stage or 2 stage air compressor will work. Any brand. I
would suggest that if you have space and $ invest in a good stand up
compressor. Sears is ok but over priced. If you have a Tractor Supply Co.
near look there. If not any good discount place, home depot, Lowe's will
have 30-80 gallon size. CFM is the number that you are looking for on the
compressor. Higher the better. My IR is 80 gallon single stage 18.1CFM
5HP - works like a mule. It will also keep up with ANY air tool that you
have, die grinder, cut off tool, sanders, NOTHING can bog it down.
2) Invest in a good quality HVLP gun. It makes all the difference in the
world. DeVilbiss is all that I use. AKZO epoxy primer, basecoat,
clearcoat, will handle it all. Gravity fed(cup on top) or pot feed is the
only way to go. Got mine on Ebay, new, half price what I could get it for
locally. On Ebay search HVLP paint gun, Devilbiss, there are quite a few
west coast reputable companies out there that have tons of stuff and great
price. Like with anything - SHOP till you drop before laying out the $ .
You'll get a better product for your bucks.
3). I picked up the digital level/laser also-mine was craftsman's club no
brainer. check out there 3D laser level with stands for $40 when on sale.
Very easy to stripe an a/c the entire length on both sides with two, or to
do checkerboard on cowl/spinner/rudder.
Hope that this all helped,
PS - MUST have an inline water trap/filter with any compressor, big or
small, compressed air makes water and will ruin your tools and paint. You
are right-no inline oiler.
