When is the best time for flanging the spar web lightening holes - before or after riveting the spar caps on? Or does it even makes a difference? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:19:08 AM PST US From: burbby Subject: Zenith-List: Landing Light Landing Light Im finishing installing the landing light in the left wing like the plans show. The question is what kind of paint (if any) is used in this area? It would seem to me that this area will get hot. Also does most people match this color with the outside color in this area? I have seen some painted grey which does not match any exterior paint anywhere. do not archive Gary 601 XL N7601 (resereved) Millsap, TX --------------------------------- Sick sense of humor?

I fixed the spar on my work table with iron corners, same attachments for ribs on the work table. The wing of CH640 have 9 and 10 Front & Rear Ribs, identical on Y and X measurement. I would confirms 2 ideas about the chord line alignment of the wing. 1) The chord line should to be perpendicular oriented to the Spar, in the Assembly doc, it's say the Wing ribs must be 90 degrees to spars ; 2) The chord line, if this above assumption (1) is right, should be at the same distance (y) from the table top, for both nose and rear ribs. Am I right ? This will help me to obtain a perfect ribs alignment with spars. Thanks again ______________________________________ Christian Tremblay A guy who build a CH640 aircraft from plan http://www.zodiac640.com/ ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 03:34:29 PM PST US From: "Edward Moody II" Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Landing Light The interior around my landing lights is simply primed like the rest of the inside parts. I don't think it is important to paint that area although it would hurt to do so. I don't think the heat will be an issue for me because I don't have any long taxiing to do at night and I don't plan to use them on the ground in the daytime. If I use them inflight the airflow over the aluminum skin should provide adequate cooling.

I came across some cool items that might interest some of you. The link below is for the Thomas & Betts ty-rap catalog. Check out page 32 for a low profile ty-rap. The end lays along side the other piece to form a smooth "buckle" (no bloody hands). Page 33 has a double loop ty-rap that can be used to attach a wire bundle to a tube. They also have a variety of ty-rap mounts and stainless steel ty-raps. If you have trouble finding a local supplier, try your local electrician's supply house. Thomas & Betts is known for their electrical parts. Question? Could the stainless steel ty-raps be used in high heat applications such as FWF and exhaust wrap? These items have been around for a while but I thought some of you might want a catalog and might find something you didn't know existed.
