You guys please read and give advice. I sent this to ZAC for the official answer. Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin W Bonds Subject: Cortec question? Hello I have allot of questions about proper corrosion protection techniques using the Cortec primer bought from you. I've gone back and forth on different techniques. One problem I am having is that my aluminum is stored in a damp place. And I am concerned that I am having corrosion (evident from a light white film that will not come off with degreaser--most evident are the finger prints) start before I am ready to apply the cortec. What should I do? I plan to clean and apply protection to the mating surfaces only accept for the outside along the rivet lines--I figure the primer and paint should seal that up nicely. Is this good technique? Can/Should I dip rivets in cortec before pulling? Will the cortec repel the paint if applied to the outside? If I have some Corrosion starting to form from the damp conditions in my work space what should I do about the non-mating surfaces on the inside? How do I clean those? Can I just put the cortec on top of the corrosion and not worry? I saw on the Matronics List that a lot of guys are using scotch brite pads to clean the surface but I can't find the proper stock number of scotch brite pads to use (I only find the "Heavy Duty" and "No scratch" ones). The "Heavy Duty" ones seem to leave to many visible scratches and the "No Scratch" ones do nothing. Have you guys had any experience with these?

He's using a Suzuki 1.3L 4 cyl, 8 valve conversion...GREAT stuff: From: Cleo Subject: [Loehle 5151/P-40] Flight today Guys: Finally we got some decent weather and light winds (15mph) So I took Brere Fox up for a trot. Prop was set at 9 degrees, gave it full throttle and lift off was around 60 mph. Climb out was at 650 fpms, a little density altitude, ( 2000 ft) on an airport at 1107 at msl. Started crusing at 1200 agl. 5500 rpms gave me 100 mph ias, this engine will run all day long at 5500 rpm At that speed, it was hands off flying. Real good. I am very happy with this 4 cylinder Suzuki 1.3 liter. Going to leave these settings alone until fall and winter and then cut pressure fuel regulator to 30 lbs. Did not add any weight to the front end to achieve these numbers. And weight and balance was right in the middle. Temp was 210 waiting for take off. After lift on and at cruise temp went to 200 degrees. Thermostat is a 195 degree Stant. Landing was a 2 wheel, over the numbers at 75, decreased to 65 mph and flew to the runway looking way down the runway. New spring absorbing shock legs were very smooth--no bounces. Going to fly again tomorrow weather permitting, with out any changes. Love this aircraft. Up for 1.3 hours. Gas burn was a little over l.2 gallon. Including taxing and waiting on landing aircraft.

I believe their main focus is the Loehle P5151 & P-40. I hope his web site's url made it through. Dave & Darlene wrote: Hi All Nice to hear of another one in the air. One question I have is does this engine have a reduction drive or is it direct. Performance sounds good. What about total engine weight.
