Are you sure Deems? It might be a good opportunity to pick up some ideas
for your antenna pylon attach. But too bad you're so far ahead of us!
I'm really looking forward to meeting some more of the list members. As
most I'm staying at the Comfort Inn arriving Friday afternoon and heading
out Sunday evening to hopefully avoid the Monday traffic.
Best Regards,
Patrick #40715 / N690CT

Hey Tim,
Our finishing kit is supposed to be shipped on Mon. and when we're actually at
that stage I'm sure I'll understand your comments about sealing in the ramps better.
In the meantime, I went back and surfed through your site to see if I
could find a picture. The only one I found so far is just after you fitted the
cowl and trimmed around the governor. Any chance you have close ups of the
sealing?
Also, I ran across a reference to your adding toner to the fiberglass on the windshield
to aluminum bond. I'll try to retrace to that stage to see what that's
about, or maybe that's in the finish kit too.
I'll also search your site for "bondo" ... I have many years experience with cars
-- (first plane!) is there a reason why folks don't just use a thin skim coat
of bondo over these fiberglass joints to smooth them up? It's so easy, there
must be SOMETHING wrong with it!
Later, - Lew

Hi Lew,
Towards the bottom of this page are some photos:

Yeah, they're ugly. I was long past the point of not enjoying
epoxy at that time, but it did end up sealing well. In short,
when you put the curved ramps on the cowl, you now have a tunnel
for air to go from the high pressure top side, out to the low
pressure part of the cowl outside of the baffling, without
ever traveling through the cylinders. You can lose a major amount
of air before it even gets near the cylinders. So, just sealing
it up good fixes that problem.
The toner thing is pretty straightforward. Just a way to darken
the epoxy. Some people paint the windshield, which might be great
too. You just need to make sure you have just the right
line and stick to it if you do that, so that it's nice and straight
and your topcoat of paint covers the same area. I'm not sure how
much better or worse the adhesion of the topcoat would be to
paint on plexi as opposed to glassing black-tinted epoxy right
to the windshield. I'm happy though. Just broke open an old
copier/printer cartridge and poured some into the epoxy. I tried
fabric dyes for red/green on another project, and that didn't
work well....too grainy.
As for Bondo, my guess is that it's because plain bondo is perhaps
less fine and more prone to pinholes than some of the other
glazes available, and maybe not being such a premium product it may
be more prone to chipping or shrinkage. I'm sure though that in
the right places it isn't a big deal. But, I think you'll have
a hard time beating the use of epoxy with fairing filler if you
want strength over those joints, and you can even glass in a strip
of light glass over the joint to prevent cracks too. I didn't
do that and I don't have cracking, but everyone's mileage may
vary.

That's no reason to stay away. I'd buy his lunch just to hear about his overhead
console attachment. [Mr. Green] I will be doing that someday.

This should be an easy one.... Do most of you just get your belts from Van's,
or is there a better option?

I'm not sure how the percentages shake out, but I know that there
are many Van's belts, many Hooker Harness Belts, and even some
inertial reel belts that are going in RV-10's. Hooker has many
colors, and I picked those for mine.

. The top flange is .2 inches high when clecoed in place. This part came
with the QB fuselage #8 of March 2005. When we queried Vans, they concur
that the bend line for the part was wrong. They are sending a new part.
while waiting I borrowed a replacement part from another builder on my field
and the part fits properly. after installing the F-1099F-L, the F-1099E-L
and F1099H-L looked wrong; we replaced them all, including the F-1099G-L and
they now fit properly. If you are fitting the wing fairings and get a fit
like we did you may have a bad set of fairing parts. In addition Van's
aircraft has a single screw in F-1099G-L and -R even though the plans don't
show a need for one there. One other thing, the picture as shown in 44-2
figure ! does not match the view of the part; the second part we received
works correctly so we assume the drawing is in error.
