Subject: | Re: counter sinking canopy holes |
That sounds good to me. I think I'll get the Permagrit set.
Consistent with my realization that 'grit' type saws and cutters just
melt composites. They last and do a faster cleaner job. Didn't know
there were countersinks.
I say again (as I finish buttoning up my QB wings), the smaller, denser
tungsten bar is real nice - but so is the larger size of the steel. I
can't imagine using a large tungsten bar but sometimes my mitts need a
larger size bar to get a good grip... and sometimes I just can't get my
mitts in there with a big 'ol steel bar.
You've got to love the tools.

Can anyone that have their prop and spinner mounted, confirm that the distance
from the face of the starter ring gear to the spinner is 1.75"?
I don't have my prop yet and I want to fit the cowling by mounting a flat plate
at 1.625" (1.75 - 1/8") from the face of the starter ring gear to fit the cowling.

Subject: | Re: MT propellers |
Hi All,
Van's Aircraft sells the MT Propeller shipped disassembled?to the closest MT Propeller?assembly
to you.? The $360 shipping cost for shipping disassembled is
included in Van's price for the MT Propeller.
Less Drag Products, Inc. matches Van's price, except the $360 disassembled shipping
cost can be applied to the cost of shipping the propeller assembled to the
closest international airport to the customer.? The shipping method is discussed
with the customer, since the total cost is affected, and shipping?handling
capabilities of each customer vary so greatly.
As has been already stated, the customer will need to pay for the propeller?assembly
($350 to $800) plus transportation to themselves from the assembly facility.?
Included in this cost is a customs fee of about $30 for processing the customs?paperwork.?
This fee is charged to the receiving assembly facility.
Until recently, all MT Propeller?shipments were made?by UPS.? The UPS?shipping?system
has been?consistent and predictable.? Shipments disassembled to an authorized
MT propeller assembly facility arriver within two days.? The same for assembled
propellers sent to the closest international airport to the customer.
Rick Sked has talked about the FEDEX delivery of his assembled?MT Propeller to
the closest international airport to him.? A few FEDEX deliveries have been made
fairly recently.? It has been my experience, like Rick Sked's, that the FEDEX?deliveries
do not go as?smoothly as the UPS delivered.? Particularly with FEDEX's
handling of the customs paperwork.
In all fairness to FEDEX, this could be a result of our own ever changing?homeland
security requirements.
Less Drag Products, Inc. tries to go over the shipping options in detail with each
customer to work with their requirements.
I have including MT Propeller in the distribution of this Email so they can have
the opportunity to review their shipping procedures.
Regards,
Jim Ayers
Less Drag Products, Inc.

I ordered mine through Van's.? It was delivered to Redding (American Propellor?)
and they had it assembled ($600 +-) and free delivery since they were delivery
others in the area at the same time.? No problems whatsover.

Mine came in the box from the factory assembled and tested...Jim said it was the
easiest way..and short of customs...it was. Since it came FedEx international
customs required the package to be declared and inspected...of which I wasn't
good enough to do along with them.

I admit that deceiving since Van's specifically states when ordering? "Prices include
shipping from Germany to the nearest assembly center (see reverse). The
customer is responsible for choosing the appropriate assembly center, assembly
charges and shipping charges (if any) between the assembly center and final
destination."
?
Why did you need to do anything with customs? I would think the assembly center
receives the prop and if they do nothing and have you pick it up (at the assembly
centert) than that meets what is advertised, otherwise not what is covered
on the order form.

I had to pay an import agent $250 to get mine out of customs, customs would not
deal directly with me. There is no duty for personal use items. It was a real
pain dealing with customs, the agents were not polite, helpful or should I jsut
say they were typical of most government agencies I've dealt with...BUT He
did manage to whip out a whole list of import agents within a mile that he would
be happy to deal with instead of me. Soooooo my next airplane will have an
American made product on the nose thanks to the BS.

All said and done, does anyone know what the cost are on the shipping of the prop
to an MT assembly center, the cost of assembly and then the cost back to your
door step. These are additional costs that need to be worked into the equation.

Subject: | Enhanced Vision System |
I noticed two vendors offering enhanced vision systems at AirVenture.
They have come down in price significantly and hopefully will continue
the downward trend. Has anyone had experience using one? I believe
Husky was the first commercial builder to offer one last year. They
look like they could provide a significant safety benefit. The two
products I saw were the FLIR EVS3 and the Forward Vision EVS-100.

Subject: | Re: Countersink & Bracket |
After deferring enough times the countersink arrived (Thanks Don!) and
at the perfect time too, used (still seems to have life left in the
countersink) holding off until I receive the updated list with Labels
from Lew to send to Charles Usery.
Thanks Lew for leading this effort, sure seems a shame to buy a
countersink and use it for two holes so this shipping around the country
is a great effort.

Countersink is on it's way to Pascal. By the way, I had my
brothers shop punch out some brackets to hold the front belts up to the
canopy when not in use. Pics attached. They're stainless. I can punch
out any quantity, so for postage and $5.... let me know.
Plan is to micro-balloon 2 nutplates into the canopy.

Lol...you guys got to be kiddin me...is this a counter sink or a
Yard Gnome...May I suggest you take a picture of it next to a local
famous landmark close to you and blog this thing? The Today show would
love it!! The could call it "Where in the world is our countersink!!!"
I've watched this thread for months, deleting them as they show
up, but now it's interesting!!! This could move homebuilding into the
limelight on the national media!!! I'm not kidding!!! Look where this 1
oz. part has traveled!!!
OK...I'll stop..Supper time...but Fox News would love it!!!!...I
can see Gretchen or Alysin twistin their legs (very nice and tanned
legs on both of them) and tellin all about us crazy, tool sharing,
airplane builders and how we have united!!!
All kidding aside...would it not be neat to take a picture of
this thing next to something famous in your home town and making a story
about it?? Those who don't know me will just dismiss me as Rick S., the
guy who knew James McClow...so sad too bad... Big Smile :) Let's

Take your time and send it my way, I'll have it out per Lew's list by
