Michael,
I'm running a special deal at the moment. Drop by and collect 1 spare bent whip
(I can't afford the 2nd radio anyway) and get one beer free. Trade them for
a cork to fit the hole already drilled in the fuselage.
Cheers,
Gordon

try to return the assembly to as near to original as possible. The use of
duct tape is not acceptable. It doesn't even work on ducts. Adhesives are
sometimes acceptable if the original assembly used adhesive. Choosing the adhesive
is the problem. What was originally used. What material is being reassembled.

Deems, where did you source your sheet of stainless? I'm guessing it was a
3' x 4' sheet of=8A 301 1/4 hard temper?
Thank you!

| Subject: | Quick Build Fuselage Advice |
I am starting on my quick build fuselage trying to discover what has
been done and what is left to do. I have removed the floor panels,
except for the front panels, and found only two washers. I think I will
inspect under the front floor panels using an inspection camera. The
heat vent tee, VA-175, in mid fuselage points to the rear of the
fuselage, not up as shown in the plans. I suspect that needs changing.
There is an extra fuel valve mount, F-1048C1, taped to the installed
mount stating that the mount is installed inverted and needs to be
changed. I am installing an Andair valve and from reading Tim's pages I
suspect that I will need to fabricate and bracket so I will need to
simply remove the current one. Insulation seems something that needs
addressing fairly soon. Insulation for the firewall and the tunnel
seems to make sense. I am wondering what insulating the floor would
gain as the noise comes from in front of the firewall, not below the
fuselage. At the risk of starting an insulation war, what insulation
would you recommend? I know Tim mentioned Flightline Interiors.
There appears to be a lot of extras that need to be procured to finish
the plane and at this point in time the issues seem to be ones of timing
the procurement and installations so that something that has been done
does not need to be undone to install an item. Looking at the jig saw
puzzle and trying to see all the pieces and how they fit together.

Just be aware that since Tim built his plane Vans has changed the plumbing and
fuel valve location.

I'm just a little ahead of you, and though I went slow build, it's mostly
the same from this point on.
You should be able to simply twist the heat vent tee. It's just friction
fitted to the fittings that are riveted to the tunnel sides.
As for figuring out what you need to get when, I've just been doing a lot
of reading of other's build logs. Some thing that you'll need to figure out
coming up soon are:
-- Where you're going to route conduit to the rear
-- Antenna choices if you're going to mount them on the belly
-- Whether or not you want access panels for your step bolts
-- Fuel Pump
-- Fuel Valve
-- Hard line or flexible line for fuel and brakes
Those are just a few of the things I'm working thru right now off the top
of my head. Some items may have a significant delay in shipment. I haven't
yet had building held up by shipping delays, but I'm sure it's only a
matter of time.
Still many more decisions to come!

My red cube works fine in the tunnel. With the boost pump on, fuel line disconnected
at servo inlet, I was getting 42 gph flow. Plenty for an engine that needs
26-27 gph at takeoff. I made a 5052 tube to take the place of my red cube/two
hard lines if I ever need to move it. Same as others...accurate to .5 gallon.

1/8" fiberfrax on aft side of firewall. No other sound proofing, painted interior,
Lightspeed Zulu's. I'd do the same all over.
