This might help find obvious leaks in the bottom of the tanks and
maybe the back bulkhead, but probably not in the top of the tank. The
ballon test gives a little pressure to simulate flying.
Do not archive.

| Subject: | Cowl knuckles - are fabrication directions missing from plans? |
I'm assembling the engine cowl hinges and pins. On page 47-8 they
describe how the hinge Cowl 10-03 are fabricated and installed.
The front of the pin is retained by a "knuckle". I assume this knuckle
is fabricated from a piece of the hinge material and that the pin is
bent and cut flush with the knuckle. However, there are no specific
directions on fabricating the knuckle. Nor does it seem to be a part in
the BOM.
It looks straight forward enough but the directions have been so
detailed and complete through this section, I'm surprised by the
omission... or am I missing something?
BTW, I see David McNeil suggests cutting the hinge pin long enough to
extend through the knuckle so that it can be bent over the edge of the
bottom cowl just as it is on the Glastar. Comments welcome here.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Rene'
I saw the note about the pins in the plans but it wasn't clear that they
included the 'knuckle'. Should have know that whenever something is
boldfaced in the directions, it deserves extra attention and investigation.
Order going in now.

Hey Bill,
There are several creative and beautiful mods out there for this. Here's a couple
of pictures of what I did that was simple, cheap, time consuming!
With a white painted screw that is countersunk, it almost disappears.

Hey Ben,
I just bent the pin around and welded the loop closed, then countersunk it.
I riveted the nutplate (the ones with the two rivets on one end and the
threads on the other -- I don't have the number in front of me) to the
fiberglass, then glassed in around it for extra strength. A bit of carving
out of the fiberglass for the recess, and making a small guide hole for the
pin (coated the pin with vaseline and glassed around it) and it fits very
well. To remove it, take the screw out, rotate the "ear" of the pin out so
you can get a grip on it, and just pull it out. To make the pin slide in
and out easier, I flatted a space on the pin with a hammer before I cut it
to length, stuck it in a drill and used it to ream out the hing ears
slightly until it ran in and out smoothly. I know, I know, but it works
really well!
Later, - Lew

Very nice Lew.
I've decided the cowling is not a place for me to express myself. I
have to confess to not being able to grok the whole cowling hinge pin
operation until I finally started doing 47-7 step 6. After reading it
and re-reading it, I self diagnosed brain constipation and soldiered on
until finally reaching 47-7 step 6. What a relief.
I'm hitting the order button for the Vans part as I write.
Thanks

Here are some pictures of the O2 bottle installed. It can be removed
completely in less than 5 minutes and cost of components was less than $200.
Regulator will arrive Friday. If anyone wants details or sources please
contact me directly via email. As you can see the E bottle aluminum fits
nicely on top of the tunnel cover. I never liked any unsecured item as
getting hit in the head with an object launched by turbulence is unnerving.
Although I already have 2 Skyox 50 cu ft systems, I did not want to buy
another $600 system.
Do not archive.

| Subject: | Re: Fuel tank leak testing |
Just tested with 100LL two days ago. I had already air tested them when I completed
them , but wanted to test them with fuel before painting them. So far so
good.
I mounted a tubing on the vent line and bent it upward a couple inches. As the
fuel temperature rose the fuel level also rose. When fuel came out the raised
vent, I would assume this would be a true test. Most of the air should be out
and tank full of fuel. We had the tanks on saw horses and level.

Hi
Over the past few weeks I have been sanding and fitting, sanding and fitting
ad nauseum. The net result is a garage full of fibreglass dust that I don't
like sweeping. Being the lazy soul that I am, she who must be obeyed bought
an IRobot Dirt Dog for the garage. It has done a wonderful job of picking up
all the dust on the floor without shooting it back into the air. This little
device really does work like a charm. It doesn't like odd shaped or larger
pieces of AL or f/g but it does a very nice job of picking most everything
else.
It can be seen at:
