| Subject: | Dimpling stall warning holes |
I haven't tried dimpling the stall warning holes yet. They look like
they are in just the right place on the leading edge that it may do some
damage to the leading edge when dimpling them. I'm sure I'm probably
wrong about this but wanted to ask before I just jumped into it and
found out too late.
Anybody have any input on this subject? Am I worrying about something I
shouldn't be? How did you dimple them? I've got a DRDT-2, hand
dimplers, pop rivet dimplers (don't like using these--seems like they
never leave a deep enough dimple) etc...
Thanks,
Bill

For those using the standard aviation plugs, Tempest is now manufacuring
them; they are called UREM38E and made by Tempest. They are about 2/3
rds of the price of a Champion plug.

They bought the Autolite (Unison?) plugs and are now gearing
up for production under their name. The fine wire's like I
am using, are not available yet, but will be coming down the
line later as well.

IIRC, I used my hand squeezer to dimple those holes and didn't have any issues

After finishing my test period, I've actually still got SAE 50 mineral oil
in the plane, which is obviously more of a summer weight than winter (Massa
chusetts).
What are thoughts about leaving the SAE 50 in until the next oil change? I
was thinking that the crucial part for oil temperature and viscosity is at
start up, so as long as I am diligent about getting some pre-heat before s
tarting, the SAE 50 might be okay for the short term. (airplane is always
hangared, too)

In Mass I would recommend you change and go to Mineral oil at 40 weight no
need to go to 30 weight it is not cold enough there.
We ran 40 weight in all our planes at the fbo I worked at In anchorage Ak.
Every winter and the average temp there was +5 f and only a week or 2
colder then that.

As a data point -- over on the red board, the guy who makes CamGuard states he
runs 20W50 Fall/Winter/Spring and W100 in the Summer. He's based in NJ.
Here's the link to the thread (note it's really about CamGuard but oil gets discussed
as well) in case you're curious:

I built the same ones and 4 years later have not complaints. I used
indoor/outdoor 'grass' type carpet for the slings. It looks like this
set used soft wheels of some sort. On concrete floor, soft should work
better than the steel, but I used what I had and they work fine too.

This may give you some ideas. I was able to build both wings at the same
time and still allow my wife to park in our garage during the winter.

Better yet, go to Phillips 20W50, either type M if you feel mineral is
important, or regular X/C since you have more than 25 hours on the
engine. I didn't like grade 80/40W oil when flying in Fairbanks, Alaska,
too thin when ever it warmed up. When multigrade became available, it
solved that problem. Add some CamGuard for corrosion protection if you
aren't going to fly at least 10 hr/month.

If you have electricity in the hangar I would leave the oil in till the
next change. Put one of these on the bottom of the sump. http://www.arc
heat.com/#
Ps. buy the one that's thermostatically controlled.
Thick oil is your friend if you warm the motor up correctly.

Avery for Tach covers and this is what I did on the blast tubes. I think
it's a 1 inch hole, and then a 1 inch snap bushing which just happens to
have a groove that snaps into the grooves in 3/4 blast tubing. Perfect and
you can't pull it out!
Just one way?
