Jon, Try RWJairpark.com (K54T) Still lots of places on the Texas coast where
you can land on the beach, winters are great, of course you still have to put
up with the heat and humidity in the summer.

Hey Guys: I have a Lycoming O-235 that I want to sell. It is complete, and
when I find the log book I can give the exact times, but as I remember it has
less than 2000 hrs, with less than 500 since major overhaul.
This engine has no damage, came out of a PA-12 being upgraded to an O-320,
and for an extra few hundred dollars I can include the propeller which has less
than 10 hours SMOH. $3,450 and you pick it up here in Frostproof, FL.

I bought a used O-200 complete from Wentworth Aircraft Salvage
guaranteed to be rebuildable, sometimes they have used engines at
reasonable prices and I think they are good to work with. I bought a
high time engine that I intend to rebuild with the help of an A & P that
belongs to the same EAA Chapter I do. There are others in the same
business but I suggest you ask around to make sure they are not a
fly-by-night operation. I also spoke to Continental about parts, they
have complete cylinder kits (cylinders, gaskets, pistons, rings, etc.)
priced at a total $4068.62 for all 4 cylinders and $932.18 for the
bottom end kits. Wentworth also gave me a lead on a small company that
rebuilds cylinders, their prices for rebuildable cylinders range from
$325 per cylinder to $600 for one that needs chromed.

Subject: Zenith-List: 2000 hours
Many engines are rated 2000 hours before total rebuild. Does that
apply just to the first time it is rebuilt. Can the rebuilt engine go
another 2000 hours? How about the 4th or 5th time? Still 2000 hours? And
people say you can buy a Continental 0-200 used. Is there a supplier
that sells used other than Continental? Continental is not very good at
using the internet to promote prices of anything. Thanks for your help.

Jon,
Take a look at Goldsboro, NC. GWW on your sectional. About 1/2 way between
the beach and mountains of NC. Good WX, good people and lots of grass
strips.

(P...
I would leave the hinge attached to the elevator and slide the hinge under
the skin and place a strip of .025 between the hinge and the horizontal
stabilizer then push the elevator tight and rivet from the center out. If you
take
the hinge apart you could inadvertently get the hinge slightly off and cause
it to have a slight bind.

I just received from Wicks the $15 sealant kit for a couple of small
holes I needed filled. However, I do have some questions.
Should there not be instructions included? I did a search of the
matronics list and there are lots of info on the stuff but no
information on mixing ratios or application.
I ended up mixing it at a ratio of 10 to 1 based on technical data I
found and just slathering the product into the hole. Is there more to
it than this?

| Subject: | Re: Rib Form measurement |
Hello Ron,
I don't know which flanges you are referring to, I finished
all ribs and am assembling the wing, but all flanges on each
of the ribs are bend in the same direction. Rib 4 is different
in the sense that the left and right rib are swapped so the
wing locker has the smooth side. Also on the rib with the
bell-crank the flanges for the two rear lightening holes are
in the opposite direction.
This is the way I did all, did I do it wrong or .......

Maarten

Dan, I uaed proseal many months ago, but there were instructions on the
cans.
If I remember well, the ratio was indeed 10 to 1, based o weight (not
volume).
I bought the product from AS&S.

| Subject: | new 912uls for sale with prop |
have an 912uls up for sale that has near everthing you need for the kitfox setup.
Only a couple items keeping but you may find through this Kitfox list.
I believe the Rotax 912uls was built in Mid 2005 (still checking exact date)
new and has never been started. When I bought the complete Kitfox 7 kit there
was with very little work completed. Two items not included with the sale are
the oil tank and radiator.
Included is a complete 912uls, carb heat air intake box, drip pans for carbs,
rectifier,
electrical component and high performance exhaust system, Rotax engine ring mount,
throttle cable with split feeds to each carb, choke cable split feeds and
other odd and ends that I may find. Also a new 70" carbon fiber 3 blade warp
drive prop with optional 2" prop spacer, aluminum spinner and backing plate
and the protractor to adjust blade angles.
Sell all for13,500

| Subject: | Re: Larger Brake |
Dave's brake looks excellent for any length spar you want. The only problem with
that brake is that it won't do a deep skin. Mine will, but it will only do a
piece of .040 up to about 6' before it's pushing it. I should draw up and post
some plans of my brake. Personally, I thought designing and building a suitable
bending brake on the cheap was one of the hardest parts of building a plane.
There's actually a lot involved in making what would seem to be a simple bend
in aluminum.
