| Subject: | List Fund Raiser |
A couple of years ago I implemented an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for
the Fund Raiser messages. Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes
a
Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, he or she will instantly
cease to receive these Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its
just that simple. Don't you wish PBS worked that way! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and
software that are required to run a List Site like this. It also goes to pay for
the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill
to
keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run all of
the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to
control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in reliably and performance.
Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers such
as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept
exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand
the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the Internet
these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

Thank you!

related message. For example, if someone replies to one of the messages,
when using the List Browse feature, or when accessing List message via the Forum.

anonymous public access methods, there is no simple way to filter them.]

Another thought (or thoughts). Is your aircraft hangared? If so, it will be
exposed to the worst of the environment only a small portion of the year.
Look at the WWII aircraft that are still around. Assuming they were properly
cared for, how does the skin look?
I'm a bit biased, as I'm still considering minimizing the amount of paint. My
reasons are cost and weight.

| Subject: | 601XLs grounded in UK |
I've just had a letter from the UK LAA (used to be called the PFA)
informing me that, pending further investigation, all CH601XLs in the UK
are grounded.
It seems that the AD from Zenair Europe regarding potential aileron
flutter got them worried.

Jay,
Nice looking plane. I like the look as well as the minimum work. I
consider my plane to be more of a tool than anything else and the raw
aluminum looks appropriate. Have you experimented with any finish, wax or
any high tech clear protectant, on the raw aluminum?

Must be from seeing so much aluminum all my working life, but I am partial
to bare aluminum planes, with just accent stripes. like the lightning
strikes on old Luscombs. It just looks right for a no-nonsense machine.
And it saves quite a few pounds. Trouble is, we have been conditioned to
equate "pretty" and "Shiny". Aluminum oxide is a protective coating, it is
impervious. But it isn't shiny. You polish it off to make it "Shiny
pretty" and you just open up the aluminum to oxidation. So keep it well
waxed.
Just one old geezer's personal opinion.

Raymond,
Thanks.? I too was building a flying tool, not a hanger queen nor a beauty contestant.
But I did want it to be a fun thing too, thus the military look.
No I have not experimented with wax nor a clear coat. If I begin to see signs of
surface corrosion, I will certainly entertain one of those.? But, here in North
Texas, we don't have any salty sea air nor any influence from salting snowy
roads.?
I finished my wings and stored them outside, on a wooden rack covered with a tarp.?
When I brought them inside to do the painting, I found a lot of surface corrosion.?
It occurred mainly where the tarp touched the metal. It took the better
part of a month to get rid of it.? They probably would have fared better
if I had left them uncovered.? I think the corrosion formed when the tarp actually
kept the contact area moist.? Uncovered, the moisture would have mostly run
off and the rest just evaporated.
Jay

I treated a few airplanes with AC 50 a decade or so ago. It really got
into the lap joints, It was weeping out six months later, grabbing all the
dust in the area. People loved it till they saw how much dust it held.
Then the pilots didn't love it anymore, but it seemed to work as
advertised.

Was the dust easy to remove? Were the pilot's objections mostly to the

ACF-50 is cool stuff, put a drop of it on something and it takes on a life of
it's own and climbs everything in sight, and get's on everything in sight. It
will preven corrosion, but you might end up hating it later. If you want
something for joints, etc. Something like CRC Corrosion Shield is nicer
as it dries and forms a film, and doesn't leave the oily mess.

Lady's & Gentlemen,
This morning at 10:00 am FedEx left with us the first and only 3 forged 4340 Corvair
crankshafts in existence that we aware of. Today is a day that will go down
in Corvair-powered aircraft history as these are one of the most important
developments for our engines. We are very excited about their long awaited arrival
and we are, so far, very pleased with the results. More information and
pictures are forthcoming this week.
For inquiring minds, as measured this morning, the main bearing journal radii are
.125", and the rod bearing journals radii are .100".
Check our website often for updates on this exciting and long-awaited project!
Thank you,

I'm guessing that AC50 is ACF-50. My wife discovered it in the early 90's, and
suggested we try it. I've been extremely happy with it.
Applied in a light mist, it will cover everything, and creep into hidden
places. Since my initial usage, I've sprayed it inside the wings and fuselage
of the Cherokee we owned. It coated the entire surface after a week or so,
and appeared to do a good job of preventing corrosion. However, it is hard to
know if something is preventing corrosion, since the only evidence is
something that doesn't happen.
One thing that needs to be considered is that paint won't bond to metal that's
been treated in the last year or so. Thus, it's something that's probably
best used after the aircraft is complete and painted.
A few years ago, I interviewed the vice-president of ACF-50 on Sun 'N Fun
Radio (disclaimer: yes, I was given some free product, although I didn't
request it). If I remember correctly, she told me that ACF-50 is a Canadian
product, and Corrosion X is a U.S. product, and that Corrosion X meets a
Mil-Spec, and ACF-50 does not.
She also said that it bonds with water, helping prevent corrosion at the
source. I think she also told me the two products were the same or similar
chemically.
I note that at Aircraft Spruce, ACF-50 is about $1.06/oz in a spray can, and
Corrosion X is .95/oz in a spray can.

No, it was purely cosmetic. The only issue would be if you plan on
painting the aircraft in the next year or so. The oil will keep weeping,
causing poor paint adhesion. But as far as keeping corrosion at bay, well,
it is hard to prove a negative, but I think it helped. At least we felt
like we were doing something.
