| Subject: | Hartwell H-5000 oil door fastener |
I am helping another RV owner with his cowl and he wants to install the Hartwell
H-5000 oil door fastener that he picked up at Sun 'N Fun. Looking at the Hartwell
spec sheet, it looks like these come in various combinations of door thickness
and skin thickness.
The one he gave me is .102/-.102 (stamped on trigger and latch tongue). This looks
like it would work on two flush surfaces instead of the door offset in the
Van's cowl. Do you just cut the lip where the fasteners go, or are others using
a different depth offset on the tongue?
Later, - Lew

I just had a similar experience with ACS and shipping. I ordered 4 pieces of piano
hinge and specifically asked if the 6 ft lengths were oversize. If they
were, I was will to have them cut down to 4 ft. The operator said standard shipping
would apply. Guess what, $42 for the hinge and $25 for the shipping!
What koolaid are these guys drinking? I'm in St. louis, next time I'll drive to
Wicks.

Paint is finally complete!
Somewhere during the (long) building process, we decided to give N52KS a li
ttle side mission to promote the Fisher House Foundation with the airplane.
For those not familiar, the Fisher House Foundation constructs the Fisher
Houses, which are a place to stay for family members while a loved one is
undergoing treatment at a neighboring military hospital or VA medical cente
r.
Paint is by Prestige Aircraft in Swanton, VT.
Look for us at Oshkosh, parked with the other Airventure Cup racers. (anyo
ne else racing?)
Cheers,
Tim Dawson-Townsend

I agree with Dave. I have the standard Vans engine cowl, but I cut back the air
dams and show good temps except a bit high on #6.

| Subject: | Tank sealant lifetime? |
I have a 3.5oz tube of tank sealant sitting in the back of my fridge, where
it has sat since I bought it about a year ago.
I'm now at the point where I need to glue the foam wedges into my trim tabs
with tank sealant. (Yeah, I'm a slow builder -- just had my first baby...)
I fear that the sealant may have gone bad, since it is supposed to only have
a 4 month lifetime. So I'm curious -- is there a way of telling if tank
sealant is still good? AKA, will it be obvious to me if it is unusable when
I try to mix it up, or will I never know until it unexpectedly releases
inside my plane on some future date?
Thanks!
Chris

if it=99s for the tank, buy a new batch if it=99s (aka
wedges) for anything else, 3 years and it still sticks to anything I
apply it to. You=99ll be fine.

As long as it mixes well, it will be fine, especially for gluing stuff
like those wedges, rudder and elevator trailing edges.
