HI Paul,
sorry, my mistake. I thought, y'all were talking abaout the flange fittings.
On the threaed AN fittings I fully agree with you: the compound is the right
stuff to use.
Happy building

I am like a kid at Christmas......just got home from Missouri with a
brand new CH701 kit!!!! Getting a Red Ryder BB gun when I was 8 years
old did not thrill me more! It is amazing how small a 701 looks in the
back of a full size Chevy van. Two kits would have fit. W. Wynne's
event on Saturday was great--I will be watching carefully the development
of his Corvair installation for the 701. I have not yet decided what
will power mine. We stayed in Mexico, MO over the weekend and I was at
the factory at 7:00 AM on Monday to load the kit. The Zenith crew and
the Wynne bunch are great people to do business with. They have time for
everyone and will thoroughly answer all questions. Well.....please
excuse me, I have an airplane to build. do not archive

I really think it's a recommendation not a requirement. Like I said I can't
find a FAR on it. It is a good recommendation, but it definitely changes
your balance unless you can get the exact amount paint on each blade. I had
to have mine re-balanced. But, you sure can see them while spinning.

I just received the latest plans. Sheet 6-S-3 is dated 3/06 and looks fairly
different than the one dated 3/04. The wooden template is not shown. There
is a diagram showing the position of the wing referenced to the longeron.
The leading edge is 400 mm down from the longeron, the spar web 245 mm and
the aft edge of the top skin 325 mm. It shows the plane of the spar at 9
degrees from a line perpendicular to the longeron.
In general I think $50 for the latest plans is a good investment.

This is one of those subjects that has a LOT of potential for some serious BS to be spread around (from the compressor sellers, not the list members) Try this website,http://www.eatoncompressor.com/page/page/518643.htm open up one of the bare pump descriptions and you will find out all you ever wanted to know about hp/amps/cfm/pressure.
I sold air compressors for a living for over 30 yrs and this company has about
the best value in the country on air compressors. That is if you are looking
for a quality tool. LOW&SLOW John Bolding

pattern, taking into account the bend allowance. Give us more

Hey, be careful of those Developed Lengths if you're using CNC machinery to
fabricate the parts. The lengths listed are no where NEAR what happens to the
material on a hydraulic brake. Use standard Bend Deduction calculations when
using machinery and you'll be much happier with the way your punched holes line
up. The noted Developed Lengths work great for hand forming or a forming
block though. FYI...

This won't tell you a lot about the 912 but I did use one of those 400

| Subject: | Filliform Corrosion |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Michael Valentine" <mgvalentine@gmail.com>
Listers,
A few months back, there was a mention of filliform corrosion. I have
wing skins that have sat for a couple years and now have light
corrosion. When I heavily scuff them up with scotchbrite (green, btw)
it takes off the whitish, obvious corrosion. But, when I wipe it down
you can still see the shadow of the corrosion.
You can see filliform corrosion here
http://homepage.mac.com/csteiner/PhotoAlbum9.html and similar pictures
posted by Dan Morehouse at
<http://www.matronics.com/photoshare/messydeer@yahoo.com.02.11.2006/>
Dan's pictures show the shadows in the "Blendex Only" photo.
I don't recall from that discussion whether people believed the
corrosion was "dead" at that point, or whether one should do more.
Dan obviously did more. I don't have Alumiprep or ACF50 (discussed in
a post by Jim Weston), though I could obviously pick some up
somewhere. I plan on applying Cortec after the preparation, though I
was only going to do contact surfaces, not the complete skin. Will
the Cortec be sufficient to stop the spread?
Note - I am not a perfectionist, I am a builder! If it means the skin
needs to be replaced in 20 years instead of 40, and the steps
necessary to truly kill the corrosion involves lots of time and
chemicals, then I would opt for 20.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Michael Valentine
BTW, thanks all for the advice on the pneumatic riveter - a few drops
of oil did the trick.

Michael,
It's interesting that you posted this question. I just sent a similar one to
the Aeronca group, of which I am also a member. I left my slat and flaperon
kit for my 801 unopened and outside. Although covered up, it drew enough
dampness to be wet on the metal and the paper that it was wrapped in. This
happened in only a month. The metal is grayish and not shinny where the
pieces were touching. I thought maybe scotchbrite and either primer or ACF
50 or Corrosion X. I to am interested in other ideas for a solution.

Here! Here!
I've met William & crew several times, the first time at Corvair College #5
at Hanford CA, two other times at their hanger. Every time I felt like we
were old friends. The first time I was at the hanger, after about an hour, I
said that I'd leave so I wouldn't wear out my welcome. William said;" no,
stay, let's go to lunch." When we came back, Gus, their test pilot took me
for a ride in their silver/blue 601XL taildragger. What a ride!
That's just a statement about their friendliness. Their expertise and
knowledge speaks for its self when you read through their website. People
can say what they want about William & crew. I for one am glad he's there. I
like his quote: "I built it with my hand, installed it on my plane and flew
it for XXX hours." He makes statements with proof & experience behind them.
I don't claim to be any type of aircraft expert! I know I've got a lot to
learn. I do know that if I follow his guidelines, I'll have a technically
correct proven installation. A smart first time builder (like me) will know
their limits, seek out knowledgeable people and follow what has proven to
work. That's what I'm trying to do. The price and performance of the Corvair
is allowing me back into aviation after 22 years out of currency.
Some may say that "The Corvair Authority" sounds arrogant. He's still a down
to earth kind of guy. Besides, show me someone that knows more and has more
experience with Corvair flight engines (I want to meet him). I think he has
worked hard to deserve the title.
There are many engines that we have to choose from; some good, some not so
good. Everyone has their opinions. That's the glory of a homebuilt aircraft!
We all get to choose what we build and what we hang up front. I'm just
thankful for people like you guys on this list, and William. I hope to find
more friends as I re-enter the aviation world.
My best to you all,
Dave Thompson

--> Zenith-List message posted by: martyn@flight.co.za
Hi, it means the determined length! That is to say, the length of the
piece in question before it is bent to the shape required.
Now to those who have not fallen asleep by now :)My Questionis is this?
However that said, on the drawings, the standard L angle's dimensions are
given as:
On the CH 701 drawings L = 19 mm X A = 19 mm and T = 0.025", with a Dl of
36 mm. Now if you take the L and A and add them (that gives you the flat
length), I get 38 mm ?? But on the drawings the DL for the L angle 36mm.
Any answers would be appreciated!
