The usage of the term "book" in this case references a personal ledger
in which I keep score and track, as in "making book". A nod is a mear
notation or remark on a remarkable observation (that being what is
observed is remarkable, not that observing it was remarkable).
Unfortunately, there are no assigned value to my nods, since they are
not traded on any exchanges, even though they are invaluable. If they
were convertible to a currency, the exchange rate with the value of the
dollar would still be incalculable since one can not divide by "0".

In general, gelcoat is your friend. It supplies a smooth pinhole free
surface that is more or less ready to paint. Unless your gelcoat is damaged
(spiderweb cracks), or the part needs to be seriously reworked by cutting
away part or adding to the part, there is no need to remove it. In fact,
you'll be creating a lot of work for yourself because you'll have to
completely refinish the part once you sand it down to the glass.
I believe the wingtips and empennage tips are made with polyester resin and
are still supplied with gelcoat. Cowlings and landing gear fairings are
from epoxy resin and don't have gelcoat.
On getting a nice skin/fairing line, I don't know any specific techniques
other than fit, cut, fill, sand, and repeat until you're happy with the
finished product. Sorry!

Subject: RE: RV-List: Gel Coated Fairings
I can't answer all your questions definitively and the ones I can are as
much opinion as fact, so you'll likely get more than one answer from the
list. But here goes:
Gel coat is most commonly used over poly; it's often just a colored
finishing resin painted into the mold before the first ply is laid down with
plying resin. Its purpose is to provide a finished surface. In practical
use, this is almost never the final surface because seams will be visible
or, in the case of our RVs, the molded color will not be the desired finish
color. I've flown competition model sailplanes for year with molded
components and the competitors usually leave them alone; lightness is more
important than cosmetic detail.
Gelcoat can be sanded, use a fine grit so you don't gouge the gel or dig
into the weave. You just want enough "tooth" for your primer; sand until
the shine is gone. Wipe with a solvent or alcohol (I like MEK) to remove
dust and any mold release (gelcoat itself isn't a mold release, so the mold
is usually first coated with release). Flexing should not be a problem for
your finish; you shouldn't have to squeeze the fairing much to get it on.
The biggest problem area will be filling the gap between the parts. Filler
tends to crack and while epoxy can be used over poly, filling with resin
usually leaves a brittle edge.
What you should do is fit the fairing with a little gap built in, say 1/16"
to 1/8". Then go back and carefully sand the sharp molded corners working
along the surface of the piece, not down into it. This will enlarge the gap
but not cut down into the weave. Both the inside and outside corners of the
joggle should be rounded; the main purpose is to ensure that the entire area
has been sanded to receive the fill. The flat area of the joggle should
also be lightly sanded. Mix up some epoxy filler, using flox until it is
fairly stiff. Wax or mold release the empennage along the joint both
inside, outside, and along the edge (if it were me, I'd do this with clecos
rather than after the screws and nutplates are fitted, to avoid epoxy in bad
places). Paint the gap with extra epoxy and apply the filler. Let harden
and then sand the joint smooth before carefully separating the parts. That
should leave you with an exact fit that won't easily crack.
By the way, consider the wingtip VOR antenna; saves you from having to make
the empennage fairing removable and from having the antenna sticking out of
the tail. The instructions for making the joint still apply except that you
can fill after the fairings have been riveted on and you can obviously skip
the mold release.

Greetings:
Have an "older" Emphennage Kit (circa 1999) that came
with Gel Coated F.G. Fairings.
1) Do the "newer" Kits from Vans still come with the
Gel Coated Fairings ?
2) My understanding from reading the Archieves is
that the Gel Coat is used over Polyester Resin F.G.
parts and not over Epoxy Resin F.G. Parts. Is this
true ?
3) Is it worth buying from Vans the "newer" NON Gel
Coated Fairings (assuming they come that way now) than
trying to work with the existing Gel Coated fairings
that I have ?
4) What is the purpose of the Gel Coat - mold release
?
5) What Grit / Method used - would you recommend to
take off the Gel Coat (and not digging into the F.G.
weave) ?
6) Is it recommended to remove ALL the Gel Coat down
to the F.G. weave so that any "flexing" of the F.G.
fairing will not crack any final Top Coat of paint in
the future ? [My Fairing on the TOP of the VS will be
removable for access to the VOR Antenna - should that
be necessary and could flex during removal and crack
the Top Coat of paint.]
7) Any helpful HINTS on getting a nice Fairing / Skin
edge line where the Fairing meets the Skin and still
keeping the Fairing removable ? [Will be using #6
Screws into Nutplates riveted to the F.G. Fairing]

How many hours do you think it would take you to do it yourself?
If you paid yourself $25 an hour and worked for 6 hrs I would bet that
you would not have the first fairing made. Oh and by the way, you will
still have to pay for the supplies. You want 5 fairings for $150. Ha ha ha!
It's all in the way you look at it.
I spent 4 hrs. putting the hinge in one main gear leg fairing today. I'm
sure glad my intersection fairing from Bob are on the shelf. I tried the
upper one on and it fits great :-)

| Subject: | Micro Air Radio or Xcom 760? |
Hi:
Would like to hear from those with either or these two radios..
Some one responded, on the Micro air, with comments that there was
some problem with ground on the Pilot PTT?, but it was fixed.
The price is better on this, thatn on the Xcom 760...
Thanks for comments and information.

| Subject: | Micro Air Radio or Xcom 760? |
I Had a micro air when I first started flying my 6 and soon changed it out
for a full size radio.
I found that it was really difficult to change channels in rough air and
hard to see the readout in bright sun. This was back in 2000 so things may
have changed sense then.
Happy Holidays All

My original Microair 760 (puchased in late 2002) had to go back to OZ after
initial installation for a correction- about 2-week turnaround TN-Australia-TN
and it has worked very well for about 450 hours in my RV-6A with bent whip on
belly. Haven't heard of any problems with these radios since the early
versions (like mine).

| Subject: | MT-Prop Governor |
I recently test flighted a new RV with an Aerosport IO-360, Hartzell BA prop
and MT governor, and the prop would surge approximately 150-200 rpms about
once per second under takeoff & climb power. Pretty darn interesting on a first
flight. After calling Hartzell (they new about it and suggested calling
Vans), Vans (the tech guy I talked to seemed a bit evasive, but gave me MTs
phone#), then MT, I finally learned that any of their governors with a model #
with
anything earlier than an -F suffix has to be returned for modification to an -F
series level. This particular governor was a -B series purchased from Vans
about 16-18 months ago. Off to MT in DeLand Florida it went and was back in
about 10 days- It now performs perfectly.
But- I recently visited a builder near me who had bought the same governor,
but had not yet installed it. I asked to see it and it is a -C series unit.
He had no idea that when he installed it on his plane and had the surging
problem he would have to pull it for modification as well- quite a hassle on a
flying airplane, much easier to do before initial installation of course.
I sent Vans a polite e-mail asking if they were aware of this situation, and
if so, were they planning to notify those who had bought these governors. No
response in over a week, so I thought I'd give y'all a little heads-up so you
can avoid the same hassle I had. If you have one of these units, contact

| Subject: | Micro Air Radio or Xcom 760? |
Hi All,
Well I've owned both and I much prefer the Xcom 760. Neither have ever
given me any trouble and the Microair is still working fine in my old
aircraft.
BTW I believe that the radios are both designed by the same guy but the
760 is a later version at a different company and is a lot easier to use
in rough air and also easier to read.
The 760 has a nice feature called the remote head that allows for a
second control panel in the back seat which is nice for us tandem guys.
