This is a bit off subject, but a while ago there was some suggestions for using
MEK and something else I think for a good rusty bolt penetrating liquid.
Can anyone forward me the thread or suggest what the other ingredient was?
Thanks!

I am not sure of the size, but you surely have a lot of scrap aluminum tubing (fuel,
brake, pitot, etc.) that you will use for this application. Just cut a few
pieces from the tubing with a band saw. Cut carefully, as they are easy to
lose when they are so small. Measure with your harbor freight micrometer.

I went to the hardware store and bought some SS tubing with the correct
ID and OD and cut it to fit. The plans say to drill out the aluminum
tubing supplied but that was a bit cumbersome.
I did not find anything in the kit which had the correct ID for the
bushings you speak of.

IIRC it was either brake fluid or transmission fluid. I'll search my

So, doing my first condition inspection and found a small fuel leak (big
blue stain) at the inboard leading edge of my fuel tank. The sealant feels
like putty. I had a quickbuild so the tanks were done so I have no proseal
experience. How in the world do you fix something like this?

This is the information you were looking for.
=========
Machinist's Workshop magazine tested penetrants for break out torque on
rusted nuts. They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants
with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a
"scientifically rusted" environment. The results are as follows;
Penetrating oil..... Average load
None ............ ......516 pounds
WD-40 ................238 pounds
PB Blaster ............214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ..... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds
The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50-50 automatic transmission
fluid and acetone.

Wayne,
I had a similar leaking rivet during my first annual on my quick build
wings. I used green loctite 290 to seal it up. No problems now almost 4
years later.
My rivet was on the bottom, so I drained the fuel. Someone told me to put a
little vacuum on the tank to help the Loctite get into the rivet, that
sounded like a lot of work to do. I thought it was easier to put a little
pressure on the outside, so I put a piece of rubber hose into a balloon and
held that over the rivet to force some of the Loctite under the rivet. So I
laid on my back under the wing for an hour or so and held it there. I also
used a heat gun to help the Loctite dry. Then I probably let it sit for a
couple weeks before filling the tank back up.

If the sealant is soft, it is bad. The bad sealant has to be removed, then
replaced. Hard plastic or plexiglass scrapers to avoid damaging your
aluminum. There is a solvent. It is slow acting. You probably are going to
have to remove the tank to work on it and find the actual leak. I can get
you the source of the solvent. For hand work the gel form is best.

Not a solution but questions. Do you allow passengers to stand on any
portion of the tank during loading? Did you remove the QB tanks to
install the stall warning?

If that is what the so-called experts told you, they simply don't know
what they are talking about, or are giving you a pacifying excuse with
no basis in fact. Pro-seal only gets gummy if it wasn't mixed and
cured correctly to start with, or was exposed long term to auto-gas.
There are many Mooneys no only with wet wing tanks, but with wet wing
aux tanks that are left empty most of the time. Current versions of
Pro-seal, or Flamemaster Chemseal do not need to be kept wet with
fuel. If that were true, your tanks would leak like a sieve the first
time you put fuel in them, since it likely will have been a year or
two from the sealing to the filling for first flight.

Used a fair amount stripping and resealing a Mooney tank. The
smallest container should be enough for your job. They do sell direct.

Subject: | HD Video Action Camera with Remote! |
As a follow up to our discussion of video cameras I came across this unit
that seems to have unique features including:
Rotating Lens for level framing
Remote Control to turn on/off from a distance (no idea what range)
Screen to review footage
Audio In jack (proprietary but then connects to standard plug [I think])
Note the reviews also say it=92s larger than you expect from the photos.
http://driftinnovation.com/
They even have an Aviation page:
http://driftinnovation.com/category/airshow/
Some good aviation reviews. The only down side I read is the built in audio
is lacking. I suspect wiring the 3.5 mm Mic-In would be the best way to
capture intercom audio.
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I used the camera's mounting equipment and tie-wraps to attach my Drift HD
170 camera to the left wing strut of my Cessna 172 airplane. I have now
taken several HD videos of flights in northern Michigan during very cold
temps (15-20 degrees F). The videos are spectacular on my HD television.
They look as good as the promotional videos on the manufacturer's website.
The camera endures winds of more than 100 knots during the flights without
any difficulty. Minor vibration on the first flight was cured with duct tap
e
on the base that made the mounting more secure and eliminated play. The
camera's unique adjustment feature that allows me to mount the camera at an
angle on the strut and twist the lens to level the picture is a key feature
.
It does not move from the position that I've set it in. The audio even work
s
well at altitude with the engine roaring. I am thinking of buying a second
camera to mount at another position on the plane. I would recommend it
highly to others.
*Bottom Line:*
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Just shot a promo using this camera mounted in a helicopter and airplane. I
t
was subjected to high frequency vibrations in the helicopter and performed
superbly when mounted properly. I was very pleased with the quality of the
video and the 170 degrees perfectly covered the inside of the cockpit. The
rotating lens is ingenious! The only drawback of this camera is the audio
proprietary plug. You can only use their wired mic for this camera. I
attempted to acquire the aircraft audio by placing the Drift mic inside
aircraft headsets... which was iffy. If Drift had offered a mini jack
adapter I would have given this product 5 stars. Oh, and their "manual" is
a
folded pamphlet that excludes important info like how to charge the battery
(plug the Drift into your computer just like an iPod). Otherwise, enjoy,
it's a fun camera!

Subject: | Need wheel pant part numbers!!! Need new nosewheel pant |
I left my plans at the hanger and I need to order both halves of a front wheel
fairing for my -10. Search of the webstore pointed me to the RV-12 gear. Here
is why I need a new fairing.
While on short final for the first of what was to be a couple of touch and goes
during my fly-off I heard a bit of a buzzing out front. Nothing serious I thought
since there was a bit of a cross wind I figured it was the nose wheel coming
straight as I got below the trees and out of the crosswind. I touched down
on the mains and started the flaps up, added power and picked right back up.
At about 50 feet I heard a pop. That is when a friend in another aircraft waiting
to take off called me on the radio asking if I planned to come back around
and pick up the pieces of my nose wheel pant from the runway. According to him
and another witness on the ground, when I first approached it looked like the
left side of the wheel pant was fluttering as if it had pulled through the screws.When
I hit the power for the go-around and picked up speed it "exploded"(their
words) into about 8 major pieces. Post-mortem of the wheel pant supports
the ground reports of potential pulled through mounting screws. The left screw
holes are enlarged while the right ones held and I pulled some smaller pieces
from under these screws. I will be redoing the wheel pant of course. Except
this time I will be adding more glass to the sides and spreading the load with
tinnerman washers at a minimum.
