      Matt, The plane is Pauls. Hangers at KPDK.
      The color is Ford Red Fire Pearl.
      The color code is G2 and its from 2002-2005 Ford Mustangs.
      Thats the color I also used cause I used to have to stare at Paul flyin
      g
      off my wing all the time. Loved it.
      Its very translucent, takes quite a few coats.
      The paint mixer said it was the most expensive production color her has
      
      ever mixed.

      Hi:
      -
      I posted this before did not go thru...I try again..
      -
      I will be ready soon to install my Efis..10-- the question is what happpe
      ns if this
      thing failed,- I understand I have to remove my Attitud Ind., if nothing 
      else for
      lack of space, which is the case for me...now you would be without the most
       important 
      Indicator...specially under IMC,, 
      -
      Would like to hear comments, for those with experience on this unit etc..

      I am finishing the panel on my -8A. Spent a lot of time analyzing "what ifs
      ?" regarding failure modes. Finally settled on an AFS-3500, with a TruTrac 
      ADI II for attitude back up - along with a Garmin 496 for a rough last ditc
      h "get it right side up" capability. SL40 NavCom with an ICOM backup. Regul
      ar airspeed, altimeter, vsi as backup.
      
      In my opinion, regularly going IMC with only a single EFIS and no backup wi
      ll eventually get you killed.
      
      FWIW.

      Bert, if you are IMC and all you have is an EFIS for spatial orientation
      and you lose it then most likely within a minute or two you will enter
      uncontrolled flight and will soon be dead.
      
      People...think about what you are doing.

      Sweet!  I've seen that color on the Mustangs and always thought that was the color
      I wanted to paint my RV.  That color code is going in my book of things to
      remember!  
      
      I wonder if its a two or three stage application?
      
      Thanks!

      Its 2 satge both at the ford factory, and in my basement where I painte
      d
      mine.
      I recommend before you get too settled on it to check a local supplier 
      of
      automotive paint and the cost. You may just have to find a second job.
      I paid $1249/gallon 4 years ago, I used 3 gallons of red alone. Does no
      t
      include activator, hardener, reducer etc. Its expensive. I used Sikkens
      . It
      shoots beautifully. I get many positive comments from on-lookers. The w
      omen
      swoon over it:)

| Subject:  | Plexi-Safe Paint | 
      
      
      Hi folks ... I just finished gluing my canopy this last weekend (and I
      am -very- pleased with the results). I want to do some touchup where the
      Sika primer didn't really make a nice clean/crisp line against the masking
      tape. I just need to remask and go in with a small amount of black paint,
      and need to know what is safe to use with the plexi. I guess it needs to
      work safely with the Sika primer as well.
      
      Anyone got any suggestions? I've gotten suggestions from other forums, but
      thought I'd ask here as well. Thanks!

      Guys, I have an Apollo SL-30 in my RV-8 which has a rather unique (to me anyway)
      problem; on the ground, even with the engine running at high rpm, the radio
      works flawlessly, in the air it's a different story. As soon as I take off, a
      loud background noise begins which makes receiving transmissions nearly impossible.
      Usually, sometime during the flight, this noise goes away and the reception
      is crystal clear!
      
      I have a belly mounted Comant bent whip antenna. Coax connections are tight. Any
      ideas of what the problem is?

      Dwight, the folks at Airplane Plastics (Vans supplier) told me that Krylon
      or Rustoleum is fine. BUT NEVER use anything like lacquer thinners, acetone,
      etc to clean prior to painting.  They also told me to clean it with 70%
      isopropyl alcohol from the local Walgreens and that has worked well for me
      on light glues and Sharpie marks. I used some flat black Krylon on the back
      tail of my canopy just to cover up the glue/rivet lines and it seems to have
      adhered well and caused no issues.  Scuffed it, wiped with alcohol, painted
      it.   Don't know about the Sika.  
      
      Suggest you call them directly if in doubt, their number is 937-669-2677,
      you'll feel better if you call ;-)

      Walt, try disconnecting your ELT antennae. I had a situation once where the
      ELT would receive an AM band broadcast and then generate a signal that would
      make reception of com transmission unintelligible. This would happen on the
      low end of the VHF band.
      Changing the ELT antennae cured my problem.
      Hope this helps.

      It might be static buildup as you are flying along.  In the Air Force, 
      our planes had "static wicks" on the trailing edge of the wings and tail 
      surfaces to dissipate the charge buildup....

      Walt,
      
      I have a similar problem with my SL40, same antenna too.  Unfortunately the background
      noise does not clear up after a while for me like your's does.  Garmin
      said it was probably due to static build-up during flight but I have not figured
      out how to eliminate it.  If you figure this out please let me know too. 
      My problem is mostly related with the intercom, not the com.  I have a rubber
      duck antenna on my ELT from my hand-held nav-com.
      
      There must be a way to fix this without adding static wicks.
      
      Bob

                               What torque do you use for the 1/2 inch nut 
      that holds the tailwhel fork on
      the spring?
                      The torque for 1/2 in. bolts is 480 inch lbs ,but when 
      it is this tight the fork
      is hard to turn in the mount.

      Dwight & Bill:
      Bill is very correct in telling you to use isopropyl alcohol to clean the
      area where you be painting.
      
      One caveat about using alcohol on thermo formed acrylic is don't use it to
      clean the rest of the surface. It is tempting to use it since it does a good
      job, but I have found that it will eventually will cause grazing in the
      canopy. It has to do with the stresses caused by the thermo forming.
      
      I have found Brillianize to be a good cleaner that reduces static dust
      attraction and leaves a small bit of surface protection after it ragged off.
      But do not use it before painting, your paint won't stick to
      it.<http://www.internationalplasticsinc.com/brillianize.php>

      Betting their life that everything works?  I'll take the odds in Vegas

        Do you think that most people are competent at partial panel in IMC?
      
        The oroginal poster suggested that panel space was an issue which I 
      find 
        hard to believe.
      
        Perhaps a good wing-leveler/autopilot might save you in you lost your 
        only attitude source.

          Since when is a loss of ADI or artificial horizon an automatic trip 
      to the morgue?
      
          Don't they teach "partial panel" anymore?
