| Subject: | RE: Using Stainless Steel Tape on the flaps |
Since my RV-6A is mostly polished, I applied the JC Whitney stainless steel tape
on the wing flaps perceiving the choice as more cosmetically pleasing than the
UHMW alternative and its translucent look that tends to stand out. The S.S.
tape readily accepts polishing and has performed very well except that after
several years, the edges are beginning to lift in a few places. It has very sharp
edges indeed. At the time, I was not aware of the techinque, but if I ever
replace that tape I will take the time to remove the flaps and install the tape
underneath the wing skins where it will serve its anti-chaffing function while
remaining out of sight.

I have stainless steel tape. It certainly has lasted a long time and
looks ok. Eventually I added some UHMW tape to the upper wing surface
which meets the steel tape.
I personally prefer the plastic. It offers less friction, doesn't
wrinkle like the steel and doesn't cut fingers. Also easier to apply.
I consider the steel tape an ugly pain in the arse but it won't wear
out so I still got it.
Maybe its just me? I can't seem to wear out the plane either. 2485
hours now in 13 years.

| Subject: | Trouble with Altimeter |
Hi All
My altimeter just went crazy. Jumped in the ole 6 and spotted the altitude had
gone up 300 feet. Reset to field elevation and the pressure reading was 28.7.
I looked around an there was no hurricane in sight.
Any one have an explanation. The unit is only 3 years old from Vans. Do I just
reset it or is there a problem?

This is a post that I hate to make but I feel that Doug had many people he
knew on this list. Doug and I meet through VAF.
No second guessing no arm chair quarter backing. Last Sunday morningwhile
flying to Sebring FL from Lakeland with 6 friends (and 5 otherplanes) for
Breakfast Doug Crashed. We were there.....in front andbehind and we still
search for answers as will the NTSB. It was a sadday and it all happened
very quick. You give a thumbs up at the holdline and 20 minutes later you
r friend is gone.
It was a normal flight....one we have made many times. He was behind meand
it all seemed fine when he called in his positions....nothingstrange good
spacing, just a horrific crash off the airportproperty.....so if you ask
, what happened.....I have no clue. Hecrashed, I wish I had the answers.
For those that met Doug you knew he was a great guy and will be missed.Bel
ow is part of an e-mail from his brother to get the word out tothose that
are close by and knew Doug.
