Steve,
Those are good tips. I wish I had tried the alumaprep against the
sharpie, tape residue first. And using a scotchbrite pad with the
alumaprep would have been smart. My thinking was that the alumaprep
etch would be enough etching of the skins. The painter knew better
though.
Thanks,

"... 1. You can probably skip the Lacquer thinner cleaning on
aluminum surfaces. I did
the same initially, but then discovered that the sharpie marks are
removed
completely by the alumiprep/scotchbrite. One less step and less
chemicals to deal
with.
2. Use the scotchbrite pads when cleaning with dishwashing soap
and alumiprep.
It will clean up faster and scuff up the surface nicely. You won't
need the additional
step of going back and scuffing up the surface. I won't get into
what
color of scotchbrite to use.
3. An engine hoist makes a great mobile, adjustable hanger for the
parts for cleaning,
drying, and painting. Parts will still swing around a bit, but you
can
keep the lines short to minimize movement and adjust the height of
the boom to
put the part where you want it.

Hi Maarten,
I've been trying to think of when you would need to retract the flaps
quickly and the only time I can think of that happening was during a spot
landing contest when the winner of the contest slow flighted the aircraft
just short of the "spot" and dumped the flaps, which caused him to drop like
a rock and touch down right on the mark from two feet up. No damage to
aircraft but a superb spot landing. What other time would you need to
retract the flaps quickly, short of trying to commit suicide?

Two observations - 1.) Manual flaps in older Cessnas and to a lesser degree in
Pipers. I don't care to have the pilot bending down on final to grab and yank
on the flap lever ... a little too much distraction. Even more true on a go
around initiated with full flaps extended.
2.) While giving a BFR a number of years ago I asked a guy to demonstrate a soft
field takeoff in a Piper Cherokee 140. We discussed it beforehand and I thought
he was clear about what I expected. He took off at minimum airspeed but was
slow to get the nose down. Unfortunately he was too quick in dropping the flaps
back to Zero. I had to take the airplane in order to convert a crash into
a hard bounce followed by a rather interesting takeoff and climb out (we were
on a grass strip and had no runway left.) At least with the electric flaps
there would have been some delay as they bled off which would have allowed the
aircraft to gain in airspeed.
The above notwithstanding, I would be reluctant to say that one flap system is
better than another. What is most importantant is how well the pilot manages
what they've got. Personally, I'm sticking with the electric.

| Subject: | Canopy seal Glue |
Hi guys:
I'm finishing up my checklist for my FAA inspection and have one little
nagging problem. I can't get my seal to stay stuck to my canopy. I'm using
the standard rubber seal. If you have had luck with any particular glue,
please reply directly to my hotmail address (cookwithgas@hotmail.com)
Thanks,
Scott Laughlin
