That is Paul Shattauers (spelling is wrong I'm sure) airplane.
It is indeed Paul's RV-8 and was perhaps the last plane finished by Mike
Taylor at Tuscaloosa AL (TCL) just before he robbed me and several others of our
deposits as we were waiting for paint. The biggest crime is that I have
seen several planes he painted, and Mike did absolutely beautiful work. An RV-4
that Taylor had started was finished by Bobby Potts in the same facility,
which Bobby owns. I was so impressed with Bobbys integrity and quality of
work, that he painted my plane.

Hi all,
Searched the archives but have a "new" oil leak location. Anyone had
one on the mechanical fuel pump? I have a total of 58 hours on the pump
and it appears that the oil is wicking out of the top of the stainless
screws that sandwich the whole pump together. First off, are they
supposed to be safety wired, because mine are not (came from the
"factory" that way). The aft face of the engine that the pump mounts to
is dry.
It is not a big leak, but one just the same. I will try the solvent
and Dr. Scholl's to confirm. But anyone with something like this?
Very lubed,
John

Yes, I have been fighting it on my Mooney. Tightening the screws I could
get to reduced the problem a lot. Next time I can get in there, I will
replace the pump.
I have an IO-360-A1A with an AC high pressure mechanical pump.

Subject: | dissolving Lexel |
Does any one know if there is any solvent that will dissolve Lexel but
not hurt plexiglass? When I put my tip-up canopy plexiglass in, I
sealed it with lexel across the front to prevent leaks.
My canopy installation is different than most. I have a strip of
aluminum across the front of my plexiglass - I did not lay-up fiberglass
bonded to the skin as the plans suggest. I formed a piece of aluminum
to contour the whole thing and riveted it in. I thought that would make
it possible to remove the canopy which I now want to do for painting.
The canopy is not broken. Plexi was installed 3 or 4 years ago and the
Lexel seems to be holding well - better than I expected. I guess I can
live with painting it with the plexi in place, but I'd rather remove it
if at all possible.

Lexel that is that old and fully cured is a wonderful adhesive and is ne
xt to impossible to dissolve with anything that will not destroy plexigl
ass. I would mask off the area and shoot the paint around it..
do not archive
