    Subject: FS: LE1600 tablet with SSD
    Before I go to eBay with this, I thought I'd offer it here: I have a couple of LE1600 tablets that I run Voyager on. I bought one and then when we were flying the Cherokee I bought a 2nd instead of buying a handheld GPS. I figured it gave way more function for the money. But now I don't lease the Cherokee anymore, and since I have both an LE1600 and an iPad, I don't need the 2nd LE1600. The tablet has a 32GB Solid State hard drive in it, and it's been used very little since I installed the drive. It should work very well for in-airplane use. it also would come with a bump case installed. $820 shipped if you want it...otherwise I'll try other forums quick before putting it on eBay. -- Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD do not archive

    Bill, I tried for two months with no results. I do know that the principal owner died and that it was a family owned/operated business. I finally gave up under the assumption that the business is apparently falling apart. John -------- #40572 QB.

    Subject: Seat belt sources and finishing of hardpoint
    I have replicated the front seat hardpoints in the rear so all 4 shoulder belts will attach to the canopy top with single NAS 517-5-9 bolts. (I did not do the AMSAFE installation required for their inertial reels. I did dig out the hole from the inside, scarfed the outer surface and built up the hardpoint with layers of cloth and filled rest of thickness with flox) Question 1: I have a nice tan/brown Flightline interior and would like to matching belts - any suggestions on sources? The Vans belts would be fine if available in the right color. Question 2: I want to glass the bolts into place but I'm worried if I do that, will mounting the seatbelt fracture the glass? Or is the bolt being left flush and uncovered? What have others done? How has it worked? Thanks.

    From: "johngoodman" <johngoodman@earthlink.net>
    I want to thank everyone for the responses and private messages. I think that I've got a way out, because of the wording on 41-3. It actually says you can skip the lower horizontal angle if you cut below 3/4" of remaining metal; I was assuming that the 3/4" was sacrosanct. It sounds nuts - and I plan on talking with Vans about it - but I'm now guessing that my friend's idea of an angle or "c" channel the length of the very bottom flange would do the trick. If Vans says differently, I'll let everyone know. Again, thanks for the replies. John -------- #40572 QB.

    I used thier paint on my RV with mixed results. Loved the wonderfil and primer, the paint was very hard to control the orange peel but we kept it to a minimum by careful ratios of thinner. That said the paint buffs and colors sands like a champ. Mike's dad passed away in the middle of my paint project but I was always able to get his wife on the phone to order more supplies. They were good to deal with and I can't fault them on my experience. FWIW wonderfil is an Akzo Noble product packaged by Loehle. I used both and if they aren't the same stuff then sue me. If I had to do it again (I'm planning to) I would use a Dupont base/clear system, much more tolerant to temps. Flamers back off, I have lots of time behind a spray gun to make that call. The reason I went with Loehle was it's was single stage poly and I know what a bitch it is to touch up basecoat/clearcoat.

    Hey Bill, Question #2. I cut a slot in the head, imbeded a pop rivet stem in it to keep it from turning, and glassed it over -- got the idea here -- and it is still invisible from the outside, no cracks. And I can't imagine needing to access it unless something really bad happened. Wes has finished his fly-off time and is REALLY turning up the heat to get me to fly with him. Maybe if you came down and flew with him, I'd get a break! :-) Later, - Lew
