I wouldn't take the risk of overheating such a critical part. An angle
grinder spinning at 12,000 RPM could possible generate enough heat to cause
problems. There is only a 5 deg tolerance when this metal is heat treated.
Would have to look up the temps - its around 400 Deg F I think. If this is
exceeded it can have a dramatic effect on its metallic state and of course
mechanical properties.

List,
I've apparently missed some of the later posts regarding the trashing of aircraft.
Without starting a flame war, can somebody relate events since the damage?
Has there been any movement toward actually indentifying the poor misguided entertainment-deprived
individuals involved?

One thing that was never answered, why were these a-holes targeting productive
people. This has nothing to do with homeland security and a lot more to do with
unproductive losers with nothing better to do with their time, although I would
suggest they look into George Carlin's Slugfest or maybe volunteering for
a local chain-gang to rebuilt America's crumbling infrastructure.

I bought a new 3 port cooling fan in box with hose and connections of E-Bay for
$67.00. The deals are out there if you look. I plan on using this for my GlaStar.

By a 2-3 port fan. They aren't that expensive and they keep the air moving.
Remember just because somebody else didn't melt a radio yet, doesn't
mean it won't happen to you. The cost to have my KX-155 fixed when it
broke was enough to pay for a fan several times over ...

Wow!!! I had no idea!
STORY NUMBER ONE
Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago. Capone
wasn't famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the
windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to
murder.
Capone had a lawyer nicknamed 'Easy Eddie.' He was Capone's
lawyer for a good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie's skill at
legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time.
To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only
was the money big, but also, Eddie got special dividends. For instance,
he and his family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all
of the conveniences of the day. The estate was so large that it filled
an entire Chicago City block.
Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little
consideration to the atrocity that went on around him.
Eddie did have one soft spot, however. He had a son that he
loved dearly. Eddie saw to it that his young son had clothes, cars, and
a good education. Nothing was withheld. Price was no object.
And, despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie even
tried to teach him right from wrong. Eddie wanted his son to be a better
man than he was.
Yet, with all his wealth and influence, there were two things
he couldn't give his son; he couldn't pass on a good name or a good
example.
One day, Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision. Easy Eddie
wanted to rectify wrongs he had done.
He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth
about Al 'Scarface' Capone, clean up his tarni s hed name, and offer his
son some semblance of integrity. To do this, he would have to testify
against The Mob, and he knew that the cost would be great. So, he
testified.
Within the year, Easy Eddie's life ended in a blaze of
gunfire on a lonely Chicago Street But in his eyes, he had given his son
the greatest gift he had to offer, at the greatest price he could ever
pay. Police removed from his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious
medallion, and a poem clipped from a magazine.
The poem read: 'The clock of life is wound but once, and no
man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop at late or early
hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place
no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still.
STORY NUMBER TWO
World War II produced many heroes. One such man was
Lieutenant Commander Butch O'Hare.
He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier
Lexington in the South Pacific. One day his entire squadron was sent on
a mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and
realized that someone had forgotten to top off his fuel tank.
He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get
back to his ship.
His flight leader told him to return to the carrier.
Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to the fleet.
As he was returning to the mother ship he saw something that
turned his blood cold: a squadron of Japanese aircraft was speeding its
way toward the American fleet.
The American fighters were gone on a sortie, and the fleet
was all but defenseless He couldn't reach his squadron and bring them
back in time to save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the
approaching danger.
There was only one thing to do He must somehow divert them
from the fleet.
Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into
the formation of Japanese planes. Wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazed as he
charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch
wove in and out of the now-broken formation and fired at as many planes
as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent.
Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the planes,
trying to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes
as possible and rendering them unfit to fly.
Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in
another direction.
Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter limped
back to the carrier.
Upon arrival, he reported in and related the event
surrounding his return.
The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the
tale. It showed the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his
fleet. He had, in fact, destroyed five enemy aircraft.
This took place on February 20, 1942, and for that action
Butch became the Navy's first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator
to win the Congressional Medal of Honor.
A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of
29. His hometown would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade,
and today, O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the courage
of this great man.
So, the next time you find yourself at O'Hare International,
give some thought to visiting Butch's memorial displaying his statue and
his Medal of Honor. It's located between Terminals 1 and 2.
SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER?
Butch O'Hare was 'Easy Eddie's' son.

| Subject: | Cutting thick aluminum and metal temper |
Hi Ryan,
For myself I cut the flat bar with a band saw (diagonal cuts) and with
a
circular fix table (transversal cuts), with an soft 56 toot soft metal
blade
( waxed with a candle). No heat at all, metal stay cold, I can hold it
anytime during the cutting process, by hand with no gloves. The
AC-4313-1B
from FAA, always recommend (like a general rules) not heat aluminum, in
the
cutting or sanding process, metal cutting process should always permit
to
handle it by hand to not alter electrical or mechanical properties. But,
cutting aluminum with a band saw requires very long experience with a
band
saw. This operation could be dangerous and can scraps the flat bar
easily.
Note : negative impacts for your spar depend on where are located the
cut on
the bar and the spars.
See following pages for more info on the process that used for cutting
my
spares flat bar.

Objet : Zenith-List: Cutting thick aluminum and metal temper
Guys and gals, I am scratch building and last night I cut out my spar
root
fitting (I don't have the number right in front of me) for my 701. It
is
3/16" 2024 T4 aluminum, and I used an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel
to
make the rough cut, and then finished it with a disk sander, and finally
a
hand file. Turned out pretty nice if I must say so myself :) However,
I'm
now sitting here at work thinking about what I had done last night, and
I am
now wondering; could I have heated the bar stock up enough to change the
temper? It never got extremely hot, but it was too hot to hold onto.
It
air cooled from that point. I'm not real familiar with the heat
treatment
of aluminum, so I thought I would post the question here. Any thoughts,
or
am I just being too worried?

You can try using shielded wires on the magneto leads and grounding
the shields. These can be grounded at both ends, they are used to keep
noise on these wires from leaking out.
Use shielded wires for the audio circuits. Don't use the shield as
part of the circuit, use a separate wire for the audio lo line. I used
2 wire shielded cable for my audio output lines (audio hi and audio lo
inside a shield) and three wire shielded cable for my microphone lines
(audio hi, audio lo and PTT inside a shield). The shields on the audio
lines should be grounded on only one end. All of the audio shields
should be grounded at a common point, this is usually at the audio
panel or intercom panel since all of the audio lines go through there.
Use insulating washers to isolate your microphone and headset jacks
from ground. The shields on the audio lines are used to keep noise
getting into the audio wires. Grounding both ends of the audio shields
can create ground loops that can generate noise in the lines. Some
components ground the audio lo (common) lines and some don't. If you
are using the shield as the audio lo wire between two components that
have grounded audio lo lines, you end up with the shield grounded on
both ends, which may cause noise problems.
Make sure you have good solid connections on your RF coaxial cables.
Don't go cheap on the coax connectors, good quality crimp on
connectors crimped with the proper tool are worth the price. The
shields on the RF cables must be grounded on both ends as they form
part of the RF circuit. The comm antenna should be mounted well away
from the engine with a good ground plane.

| Subject: | Jabiru Engine Mount (XL) |
I have a question for those of you who have installed a Jabiru 3300 using an engine
mount supplied by JabiruUSA.
I've just started marking the places where I'll need to drill on the firewall and
for the fun of it decided to set the engine mount in place and see how it fit.
The bottom holes looked pretty good but to get it to fit over where the upper
engine mounts are supposed to go requires that the mount be sprung up and
out a bit on both fittings. Is this what others have encountered?
