    The reason for the question on tail is that my shop ceiling is only 8'6". I knew the height was around 10' but curious to know what it really comes out to in various planes.

    Subject: Re: Belt attachment
    I think your best bet would be to eliminate the slack. An airplane crash doesn't stop until all the aluminum is resting on the ground. What I mean is the initial force that may pull the first bracket out will most likely still be present for some time during impact as the plane crumples (damn, now that jut doesn't sound like much fun!). eliminate the slack and you double your resistance to breaking a single bracket. The airplane is going to provide some amount of deceleration protection as it crumples so the brackets need only hold the pilot to the airframe as it does it's job.

    Subject: Polished Aluminum
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "neitzel" <n963wb@frontiernet.net> Greetings all, I have been following the paint or polish thread for some time and have appreciated the input as, I too, was debating the same question. What concerned me was the aluminum for my 701 appears to have a "grain" to it. This grain probably is the result of the material being rolled to the proper thickness. The metal I intend to polish certainly is not oxidized, but to polish out this grain appearance requires a more aggressive approach. I took a piece of my skin material to OSH and went first to the Nuvite booth. Bob McHugh spent nearly an hour working a small area explaining the process and working the metal with five different materials (F9,F7,G6,C and S). The final finish with the "S" grade gave a pretty decent shine and nearly eliminated the grain appearance. His recommendation to polish a 701: 11 pounds of the five products @ $37/pound or $408 for the polishing medium. He also sold an equipment package for another $500. This seemed like a lot of money for the two buffers and required pads but in his defense they appeared to be high quality tools. aluminum and asked him to demonstrate what his product would do. Jay worked with three different grades of product from course to fine and produced favorable results in 1/3 the time required with Nuvite. I showed the aluminum to an impartial judge (wife) and before I told her my choice, she picked the Rolite spot. I agreed with her that the Rolite appeared to be a brighter shine. According to Jay, I can polish my entire aircraft with five pounds of his product. I was skeptical but he assured me that if applied correctly, it would be enough. Someone one on the list suggested lightly coating the skin with mineral spirits before applying the polish. He stated that the polish went further and was easier to apply. Seems like a sound tip and will try that approach with the Rolite. Total cost of his products: $154. This included three buffing heads (one for each of the grades of polish) several applicator pads and a sealant. This product is available on line for a cost of $119 plus shipping. This price does not include the pads and buffing heads. Site address is: www.topoftheline.com/rolmetpolkit.html I am in no way affiliated with this site or product, I am merely passing along a way for anyone who wishes more information about this product as well as a means to secure the product. There was some discussion as to whether a sealant was needed. According to Jay of Rolite, the final shine will last considerably longer if the sealant is applied. He also stated that after a flight if a much diluted spray of the sealant was misted on the leading edges to remove bugs, this would further preserve the shine and remove bugs before they have a chance to "set". Seemed like good advice. I did buy from Rolite and as yet have not experimented with it. I would rather be pulling rivets and getting my bird to the hangar. I will get the polish going before the final assembly so I am not standing on my head trying to buff the under sides of the wings and tail. I will let everyone know how it goes when I get started. I realize there is lots of work involved getting to the final shine but I think I will be glad that I took the polish plunge. Thanks for all the good tips.

I haven't had one since Randy Lervold came out in January - three wings ago. I don't have the energy to come to the breakfast this month since I just got back from the first day at the Clark County Fair and I am exhausted. Of course it is fine with me if you bring Roy along to see my shop and plane. If you guys want to fly into Grove to visit I can pick you both up there. It is only ten minutes from my house. Just let me know when you would like to come over. I can send you a map or directions or make other arrangements to make it easy. If you want to use the telephone, my number is 350 834 2010. Email is more convenient for me most of the time, but sometimes the phone is the best way.

    Subject: Belt attachment slack
    You can get webbing, which has this overlapped stitched section, at sporting good stores that carry professional Rock-climbing gear. They are designed to rip through part way in the event of a violent fall without snapping a hernia or neck (though admittedly the rope has some spring in it as well). Seems they would be designed for the same kind of loads we would experience. Anyone want to test one of these by falling 50-60 feet on a slacked rope. :-) I have one of these somewhere.

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Ron Lendon" <rlendon@comcast.net> I wanted to share with the group here about my experience. A while back a plea was made to purchase some product to help a guy ouy. I did just that but much to my suprise it was loaded with good useful information. Using the methods found on the "Scratch Building Basics for Metal Aircraft" DVD from Home Built Help: http://www.homebuilthelp.com/. I was able to manufacture my Wing Nose Ribs much faster and consistent. Now you need to know, I have worked in the metal fab trade over 30 years now. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. I actually bought 2 DVD's one for wiring and one for sheet metal. A week or so later they sent me another sheet metal one for free. Now I don't know if this is normal practice but it sure was nice of them to do so. I have no affiliation, other than being a customer, and I thought we needed to recoginize this company as one of the good guys. -------- Ron Lendon, Clinton Township, MI Corvair Zodiac XL, ScrapBuilder ;-) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=52496#52496
