I would continue to use a primer, but switch to self etching primers.
Zinc Chromate can be effected by some modern epoxy and catalyzed
eurathanes, so use caution. If you don't want to prime use the etches
and alodines available. DuPont calls theirs Part A and Part B paint
prep I believe, and just follow instructions. I've done Both. Bob U.

Questions about painting....
My fuselage came with zinc chromate primer and thats not a problem.
What I d like to know is this: The wings and tail are bare aluminum.
What did you do to paint your aluminum ?
In the past I ve use Alodine and then painted. That seemed to work
good. However the Auto paint store suggested to continue with zinc
chromate. I really would like to keep the weight down and the labor
less......
I dont recall if aircraft paint shops "prime before paint ??

I have pretty large bolts running through my table and a 1x4 board attached

It just works, that's all I know.

As I see it, your brake is excellent for spars for sure. The really difficult part
is when you have to have clamp points for the bolts only at the ends of the
top plate (like when doing a wide deep skin). No different than my brake when
doing a piece like that. You really have to keep that top plate from flexing.
As far as the bottom plate (the bender), your brake has an advanage there in
that it's supported along the entire length where as mine is designed like Larry's
brake, pivots on the ends. That being the case I need a tensioner on the
bottom as well as the top, but it works well. I'm just wondering about the mechanics
of the top plate on yours and why it manages to stay put even though for
a wide deep skin it's only bolts at the ends with a good 7 foot stretch between
clamp points.
In addition to my tensioner bars I've considered going back and adding another
welded plate inside of the upside down V as additional support, same with the
bending tongue. It works for now, but as I use it I see better ways to design
it. A welded plate would add a lot more reinforcing to keep the angles from warping
as pressure is applied. A tube (triangular tube in this case) is a lot stronger
than an angle. If you put a micrometer on mine when under force you'd
probably see the dimension between the two angle legs decrease in the middle by
a millimeter or two. Pretty amazing that even steel will flex that much when
bending a piece of aluminum, but the process of making a proper bend in aluminum
is deceptively more complicated.

Dan,
The case does connect directly to one of the pressure ports.
The black ring around the outer edge of the face is painted on. If you look
at it from the side, you can see that clear plastic lies below the thin
black layer. I was thinking to make a small hole in the flange of the case,
radially outboard as far as possible, to mount a small LED which would shine
into the back side of the clear layer. I need to take the face off my gauge
again to make sure that it wouldn't affect the seal between the face and
case.

Why don't you just put a post light on it. They are not terribly expensive
and they work great. I used them on some of the lights in my RV and they worked
so good I unhooked the internal lights I already had on some of my
instruments and put post lights on them too.

anyone but reputable aviation supply sources.
This answers a question I've been afraid to ask as of yet. Thank you.
Price is nice but if you can't trust it...
Along that vein, does anyone know of a reputable supplier local to

Whatever is used should provide some corrosion inhibition because the
pin and the inside of the barrels will corrode otherwise. I'm leaning
toward an automotive grease once all the painting is done. That will
require a small insertion hole accurately located in at least one of the
stabilizer tips. The flap hinge is easier because the aileron design
allows access to the barrels from the outboard end without any fancy
footwork.

Thanks. I've heard about post lights but never seen one. I'll look into it.
It might be the perfect solution. I have one other gage (EGT/CHT) that isn't presently

Hey guys, I've got an encoder that puts out serial altitude data and a Becker 4401-1
transponder that accepts only gray code altitude data.
Anybody out there have any experience with the Dynon serial to gray code converter
module? Any info or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hey guys: Anyone out there redone the cooling on a Jabiru 3300 and gotten
rid of the cooling ducts? I have sent e-mails to Pete at USA Jabiru and Bob at
RL aviation and can not get answers about helping me with new cooling ducts
for my Jabiru.
I am willing to try anything that works. My 3300 cooled fine in
California, and on the way home to Florida. But once I got here, the temps went
up.

How can somebody expect to get away with this?
Are there aviation chop shops or launderers?
At least you might be able to track the plane in the future if someone is
stupid enough to use flight following with a hot plane:

I just heard a suggestion last weekend that sounds like it might work.
Add a one inch extension strip of aluminum to the "lip" on the aft
bottom of the of the lower cowling. Just this much will help create a
slip stream in climb and allow the air in the engine compartment to
escape. As the cowling is now, there is too much pressure on the bottom
cowling starting at a 4% climb to allow the air to escape. This was a
simple fix by my new builder friend Ray on his old Luscombe, which the
factory adopted to solve its cooling issue years ago. He suggested this
to another 601 owner with a Jabiru 3300. At least in climb the cooling
should improve. Any thoughts?

This kind of extension worked great on my XL this past Summer with temps
in the mid to hi 90ies.
I believe the newer Jab FWF packages for the XL have improved cowling
for more cooling, in addition to the newer engines having improved ram
air ducts and more cooling fin area on the cylinders
.

| Subject: | 601XL form blocks joggle and crimp cutouts |
Forgive me if I'm getting a bit pedantic here, but I just want to be sure. Where
I've notched out the form blocks for the joggle for the spar and for the crimps
along the rib edges, do I need to round those edges off like the rest of the
block?
I'm concerned that if I bash with a hammer and wooden block to follow those recesses
I might get some cracking... or is the bend shallow enough to cope?
What have you done?
