Hey Rob,
Would your friend know how to contact Art Chard? I would like to get in touch
with him to ask about the RV-6 tanks. If you don't want to put his contact info

Thanks.

At first I bought the polyester cowl with the finishing kit. It was really
warped and twisted, Vans said that after sitting on their shelf for better
part of a year, polyester continues to cure and will warp "some". It was
warped more than some, after a couple of months of cutting, re-glassing,
sanding, heat-gunning,etc I got an acceptable fit around the inlets, but it
never really fit around the cowl cheeks. I gave up, bought the epoxy one.
It was not a perfect fit at first, but very close. Did some minor glassing
around the inlets. And then, like Bob and everyone else, started sanding.
Could you imagine building a entire airplane out of fiberglass!!! After I
got a pretty smooth finish I used a credit card and smeared a light coat of
real runny micro, and then, of course sanded again and again. Final coat was
UV smoothprime, used a roller. tried my spray gun, but think rolling is
better. Then hit it with some 400 wet/dry. I think (fingers crossed) I'm
ready for final paint.

Warren mentions that the polyesester cowling is a piece of crap! Funny, I
sent Van's an email telling them the same thing about the new pre-preg cowl
!! I sanded and sanded until my air sanders were about worn out , and my
fingers were raw , but the @$%
& thing wouldn't smooth out. I finally just painted it ! I later found out
about "Smooth Prime" from Poly Fibre , on one of these lists. Boy !! What a
difference. It goes on with a roller and fills those pinholes in the #$
& fibreglas like magic. Maybe the pre-preg wouldn't have been so disgusting
if I had known about the Smooth Prime before.
This list and the Van's Air Force yahoo groups are really great !!

Have any of you had your prop balanced? Are you pleased with the results? About
how much does it cost? Do you know of someone/company who does this in Georgia
or nearby?

I have been doing dynamic propeller balancing for over ten years and I can
tell you that this is absolutely the best money you can spend on preventive
maintenanc. It will save you money on structural, avionics, instrument
repairs, and reduce pilot fatique. I have done well over 200 and about 90%
of the aircraft benifit from it. I charge $150.00, I think most shops start
at about this price. Contact Chadwick Helmuth Inc., they have a website and
they can tell you who is doing it in your area. Jim, Ogden, Utah

It cost between $150.00 - 250.00 depending on who does it. as far as "if it
is worth it" the answer is YES. It makes everything work better and less
fatige when you are flying. You will get used to the smoothness very
quickly. when finding someone to do this ask your local prop shops or engine
performance shops. They can send to the right guy
