Hi All
I have a question on types of paint people have used and success or lack of.
I plan to use PPG Shopline Acrylic Urethane system. The problem is that I have
been told that the automotave paints are not designed to hold up in tha aircraft
enviroment. Like they will come off after awhile.
Have any of you used other than approved aircraft paints and what were the results.
On another matter, where can i get a cover thr the tach. output on my IO360? Am
using all elect. panel and will not be using it.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

>> paint people have used
Acid wash, etch, epoxy primer and Dupont Nason Full-cryl 2. Excelent results
and makes a rank amature look like a pro.

Joe & list,
I'm not building yet so take these statements accordingly.

"I plan on building everything firewall forward first, then a complete
disassembly, then paint and polish."
Back in the 80's my Dad, Brother & I built a Quickie. We welded up an engine
stand on a small $100.00 trailer. We then mounted an exact replica of the
firewall, at the correct angle to the stand. Just for the fun of it we also
built a plywood instrument panel on the stand, mounting all the engine
instruments & controls. We then installed the complete firewall forward
package, including the cowling. We put about 15 hours on the engine on the
stand, working through the various bugs. When we finally moved the FWF
system to the airframe, we were very confident of the system. During first
flights, the extra effort paid off with no engine bugs at all. By the way,
at one point, we installed a heavy duty hunter's scale between the trailer
and our car. With a little math, we found that we were getting approximately
21 HP out of the little Onan engine. I know we DID have resistance from the
trailer wheels & stuff so the readings were not too accurate. However, the
engine WAS rated at 22 HP.
Joe,
If you plan to do it twice, you might build it on a stand and break in the
engine too. You said that you were going to disassemble it anyway. If and
when I build, I plan to do the same with my Corvair.
Just my two cents worth.

Members,
If any of you have purchased or own an ICOM IC-A6 hand held radio
you know that the owners/users manual is not worth the paper it is
printed on. I just ordered one and received it and cannot figure out
how to use it so I went into the ICOM web site and came across the
remark you see below and he is so right. I also wrote to the company
that imports this radio and told them if they can steer me onto a web
site that has a users manual than can be understood I will download it
and keep the radio orherwise it is going to be returned to Aircraft
Spruce where I got it. In the mean time if any of you own one of these
radios and can help me just tune into one of the aviation frequencies, I
would appriciate it. I am not concerned with the nav part just the
radio.

Review: The transciever is excellent but as a longtime technical
writer/editor I am qualified to judge the instruction manual as the
worst I have ever seen. Somebody needs to spend a few bucks to have it
revised and sent as a supplement to customers who are stuck trying to
figure out how this great transciever works. An on-line revision would
help.

I'm really relieved to hear that. Maybe I'm not quite as stupid as I
thought I was --- or worse, maybe I have lots of stupid company.
I'll choose the first thought. I've got a few things on this radio
figured out, but mostly by playing with it rather than with the "help"
of the manual. If all else fails, I'll let a 12 Year old play with it,
and tutor me.

Tracy,
I picked one up at SnF this year and just had to play with it a bit till understanding
began. To tune in a frequency first press the CLR key to exit any of
the special features. It should show RX on the screen. Then just type in the
frequency.
I no that just sounds to simple, but I just did that and got my local ATIS.
Hope that helps,

I don't usually rant but this is a huge sore point with me.
<flame on>
I don't have a 315, but I do have a Megellan 210. It works ok. I
actually like the user interface, but I'll never buy anything from
Megellan again. The 210 is very basic, so I bought the detailed maps
of North America. You are made to feel like a complete criminal
trying to get these maps installed. It was at least a 10 step
process to get the maps registered to both the computer used to
download them to the GPS and to the GPS and this included sending
personal information over the internet to register with Megellan. I
have no idea what will happen if I need to use a different computer,
and I pretty sure that if the GPS breaks there is no way I'd be able
to use the detailed maps on a new one. Oh, and the software on the
PC that is required to download the maps is, in my opinion very
poorly designed. I was so mad by the time I was done I wrote a nasty
email to their support site saying I'd never own another Megellan
product. And I won't.

I do own a 315 and like it. It is very basic and don't have map in it. It leads
me to every saved waypoints with great accuracy.
Considering the new GPS Maps sold nowaday, my 315 pretty well looks like a dinosaur,
but IT DOES THE JOB.
The 315 is not even an aircraft GPS. I set it for land and it never failed on
me.

FWIW. I painted my 601XL with Dupont Nason Ful-Thane 2K urethane in 1993
Ford Canary Yellow with Black stripes. I used the recommended Dupont
primer for the paint. I bought the paint at an auto paint dealer. The
primer was two part and the top coat was three part. Working well after
2 years and 270 flight hours. Flexibility does not seem to be an issue.
Flight temps from -5F to 99 F.

Yep. some people who fly mey not really be pilots. Case in point: NAS
New Orleans, back in the '60s, had a flying club based out of New Orl
eans Lakefront Airport. Had two Luscombes, a 182, and a T-34. Hotshot
Naval Aviator joined, and wanted to go flying. Club rules required you
check out in increasingly sophisticated aircraft starting with the Lu
scombe. No exceptions. We observed said Naval Aviator taxi some 2 or
3 miles to the active, (for most people it was about 300 yards), and t
hen demonstrate to the CFI how to use every bit of the width of a runw
ay for takeoffs, fly cross-country patterns, and verify the ruggedness
of Luscombe gear legs. The guy who later got out was dripping wet, a
