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, Tommy Walker in Alabama Do Not Archive "... 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?

From: "Tim Juhl" 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.
