Hey Guys,
I'm definitely feeling like a poor relation here. You know, I'm making do
with small Craftsman ( 2HP, 15 gallon tank, little noise maker ).
Unfortunately I'm building in my hanger, City owned. It provides 1, 20 Amp
circuit and that needs to run everything. Compressor, drill press, band saw,
grinder, sander, cordless drill charger, cut off saw, extra lighting,radio,
coffee pot and micro wave oven. When the tank is getting low on the
compressor I need to unplug everything else or the circuit breaker ( located
on the end of the building,2 hundred yards away ) will pop when the little
screamer cranks up. But you know what? My airplane is getting built and I'm
havin fun.
Ya'll drop by some time.

Steve,
I have a constant speed prop.
I don't use the brakes too hard. I don't need to with a 1300ft strip.
Regards,
Paul

Here's an interesting slant on air power that may cap this off once and for
all. A couple of years ago an old timer ( thats a RV-4 builder) gave a
presentation on riveting during a RV forum, he did a great job he knew the
ins and outs of everything and made one point that stuck. He said if you use
your compressed air tools all the time be very careful of constantly
breathing the discharged air from your tools. He went on to say the
condensed moisture that accumulates in the storage tank can provide a place
for some nasty things to grow and we dont want to breathe in these little
microrganisms. Of course he was hacking and spitting throughout his pitch
probably just to further his point and went on further to remind us of the
legionares disease found in cooling tower water. Any way after two years of
breathing this wonderful source of power to perforate my favorite airplane
I had stripped the threads on my tank bleed valve. During the replacement of
the valve I decided to follow his recomendation and pour in a small amount
of bleach. He was a sales rep for one of the major rivet gun manufacturers
so I assumed he was confident this wouldn't wreck the tools. As far as
breathing the "bad air" or for that matter concentrations of chlorine who
knows whats what anymore. I use both the noisy compressor and the cordless
and love it! I'm also taking a non script product called Tussin CF a great
nasal decongestant, cough suppressant and expectorant, I really wonder why
for the past two winters I've had a nagging chest cough????
You guys are an interesting bunch.....see ya!
