I have finished both wings and the cockpit and here are some things I have learned. - Yes the air in the gun is heated. Get the 20' extension hose and the cold water may help if the outside temp is high. - Use the slowest reducer you can get for your paint. I use some that is labeled for use at 75-85 degrees. It will slow drying and allow the paint to flow longer. - For my polyurethane paint, which would be similar to Centauri as far as spraying goes I found the best gun set up was a 1 needle and nozzle, and a 0.5 aircap. Adjust the needle to just fill the nozzle when the trigger is released, so that you have the needle full open when the trigger is fully depressed. - The paint flow is controlled with the aircap, not the trigger. For less flow screw the cap out, and for more screw it in. - Adjust the distance to the surface, the speed of the gun movement, and the paint flow to get a good coverage without sags. This is the artsy crafty part that will only come with practice. My tendency was to apply too little paint and to end up with orange peel. I find I end up making 4-6 passes over an area to fill it up. Hope this is helpful. Don Piermattei 90411 N192DP Donald L.

I will go and look at my inventory list for Bag 1922-1. I am pretty sure it was not there. They are certainly not installed by the QB guy. Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv9-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv9-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of dean van winkle Subject: RV9-List: K1100-08 platenuts --> RV9-List message posted by: "dean van winkle" To Steve Sampson I built the standard RV-9A wing kit. Bag 1922-1 contained 210 each of K1100-08 platenuts and AN509-8R8 screws. You might check your inventory list for a bag containing 32 AN 509-8R8 screws and perhaps the platenuts should have been installed by the QB kit assembler. Just guessing.
