| Subject: | Re: Need ideas to remove aft crank plug for C/S prop |
Update... Several good ideas showed up on my inbox, but I guess no one wanted to
go out on a limb and state them in public. :-)
1) Weld a screw on the end of a rod. Thread screw either into existing hole or
make a new one. Tap against the bent rod end to remove plug.
- I like this one and give it a good chance for success... So long as the weld
holds up. Wish the slide hammer I bought had this option, but learning how
to weld might be fun.
2) Coat oversize screw with Permatex or Pro-Seal, screw into existing hole and
leave it in place.
- An A&P suggested this and on the surface it doesn't appear to be too likely
to result in a Darwin Award nomination. However, it sorta puts the "E" in Experimental
and my wife might not like it either. Think I'll pass on this on.
3) Disassemble engine and tap plug out from the backsize of the crank.
- This dog doesn't hunt as I don't believe the crank has an aft opening.
Thanks for the responses.
Regards,
Jay

| Subject: | Defrost fans - Part Deux |
Hi
Having given some thought to the defrost fans, I am wondering if a slot
would be more effective. Cars have a long strip that goes across the length
of the windscreen that allows warm air to pass along all sections on the
windscreen.
Would this arrangement be better than having a couple of hot spots on the
dash? I am not sure how to do this but I am wondering about the basic idea
only. Then again, a couple of fans may move so much air that this might be
moot.
My Cherokee has a couple of 3" slots that allow warm air to hit the
windscreen. The "blast" of hot air has caused a slight distortion in the
windscreen - something that may be worth considering as well.
Cheers
Les

That's a common problem with Cherokee's. Most people will install them with
the slot point towards the window, but it is really supposed to be pointed
away from the window. Of course, on the Cherokee the defroster was heated
air as oppose to what most folks are just using ambient air from under the
console which the temperatures are elevated do to the avionics.
I've thought about using the Cherokee approach, but I suspect that it would
be way too hot to use heated air. I'm not sure that the slots do anything
better than just the standard computer fan that most folks use.

| Subject: | Sealing Cabin Top to Fuselage |
Gang,
I am getting ready to rivet the cabin top to the fuselage. The plans
say to use pro-seal on the rear portion where it meets the upper skin, but
makes no mention of any place else. Are other builders also sealing the
cabin where it meets the upper fuselage? This is where the pop rivets go. If
so what sealant are you using? It seems that there is a small joggle gap
that I would probably fill later with epoxy anyway.
Thanks

I will have a Subie under the hood so I will have hot air available. At
least where I fly, a fan moving ambient air would only be moving cold air,
at least until the cabin heat kicked in. Even in my Cherokee it takes a
while for the defroster to have an effect. Those flying in colder climates
might find the "fan" option to be a disappointment.
I have flown in very cold wx where it was difficult for the defroster to
keep up. I am uncertain how a fan only option would have fared.
Cheers
Les

Even cold "DRY" air defrosts the window in the citation. It actually uses
the Air conditioner for the air to pull the moisture out of it (evap fan).
It doesn't matter if it is cold or hot, just dry. It is a must if you are
flying from a dry to a moisture climate to see when you land.

I would agree ..... circulating ambient air with a computer fan is
probably all you need. The air over the glareshield area is pretty
stagnant and the moving air should be enough to keep the windshield free
from condensation.

| Subject: | Re: Sealing Cabin Top to Fuselage |
I think that the sealing of the rear has something to do with water sheeting across
the fuselage and having it leak there in a rainstorm. Why not the lower portion
also??????? Who knows. About 1/2 or more of the finished planes do a full
seal at the aft of the fuselage with F/G and epoxy.
I am not doing the extra seal line.
Some of the things in the plans do not always make complete sense to the logical
mind. My favorite line is from the always entertaining and acerbic Ken from
Vans who says, "It's just an airplane - just build it."

You can't beat the cost and ease of installation of one or two inexpensive computer
fans (Less than $12) Plus since they are standardized, you can easily replace
them if damaged. Fry's electronics even has models with a rheostat for less
than $10.

Hmmm
Always one to beat a dead horse, I'll ask a different question.
When starting on a cold day (say -15c), when the windows are frosted up,
will moving ambient air (temp -15c) over the windscreen remove frost.
When I start my car in similar circumstances, the defroster puts out warm
air ....
Inquiring minds need to know....

If it's dry. Cold air is typically dry, so it will remove the frost
from the inside ..... but it may take time.

I think that's true only after the engine warms up! My new truck puts
out cold air when the engi9ne is cold ..... and I think it turns on the
air conditioner to deliver dryer air ...... but i don't know what it
does when the engine warms up.

Folks south of the border rarely fly with cockpit cold enough for
frost, only condensation, typically. That is why you are seeing these
answers. I'd think you would want some engine heat, and with your
water cooled engine you could just use an automotive heater core with
some ductwork to get what you want.
