Rabaut" Okay Guys (and Gals), Donating was the EASY part (you can do it too, it will only hurt when my wife aka "my banker" finds out). I also did some soul searching, cuz' it's gonna take a lot of time & traveling, but I decided I'm gonna be tested as a donor. I just registered and now I wait to get an appointment to be tested. I gotta go up to Stanford Medical Center (it's the closest donor center to me) and I'll let you all know how it goes. I hope some other folks will consider taking the plunge, either donating $ or becoming a blood/marrow donor or both... ya'll know it's for good/deserving people. check out http://www.marrow.org/HELP/join_the_registry.html or www.transplants.org Take Care and Take Air my friends, Chuck ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:29:23 PM PST US From: "jgburns" Subject: Re: RV7-List: Adding an access panel to the wing --> RV7-List message posted by: "jgburns" Dan, Great tip! Thanks and thanks to your friend Tom as well. One confusing point for me (maybe it's the late hour) that could some clarification: You say (on your website), "Tom commented that you want about 1/16" gap all around the edges of the covers. Let proseal flow in there, and that helps form a real "embedded" seal where the covers kind of sink into it." 1/16" gap? Since a picture is worth a thousand words, can you post one? Otherwise, a few more words might help. Cheers, John ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:51:04 PM PST US From: "Dan Checkoway" Subject: Re: RV7-List: Adding an access panel to the wing --> RV7-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" I haven't gotten there yet, but I will definitely put photos on the site when I do. The idea is that the cover plate is 1/16" smaller than the opening. Right before riveting the reinforcement rings onto the skin, you cover the rings in proseal. Rivet 'em. Then push the cover plate down into the proseal, and it'll ooze out that 1/16" gap. Clean off the excess and let it dry. You're left with the proseal having "risen" in that 1/16" gap to be flush with the skin and cover. It's a homemade gasket. I'm sure photos would still make this clearer, but hopefully this explanation helps. )_( Dan RV-7 N714D http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "jgburns" Subject: Re: RV7-List: Adding an access panel to the wing > --> RV7-List message posted by: "jgburns" > > Dan, > Great tip!
