Clayton, our technical counselor recently visited our 3 W Montana 601XL
projects. He had the same concern as Bob. My notes on his comment were:
"CW suggested mixing West System Epoxy, diluting ~50-50 with MEK, and
painting that onto the inside of the fiberglass-epoxy cowling, to keep the
cowling from absorbing oil from the engine."
I don't have personal experience here, but I think that his advice has been
consistently good.

On the inner side of my 801 cowl I did shoot a single coat of Imron just
to make it look nice. I should have gone the build up route and then sh
ot some paint on it. As it is now the surface is still porous and gets d
irty pretty fast.. My 2 cents worth.

| Subject: | long wing 701 with VG's |
I just finished the 5 hour flight test period after adding 3 feet of
wing span, strut fairings, slat removal, and VG's to my 701. Results
are impressive.
My 701 is highly modifed with a Cam125 Honda Civic for an engine as
well. Empty weight is 800# From the begining, it was built to be a
heavy long wing aircraft.
Flight tests were conducted at about 1150# gross.
Takeoffs were about the same as with slats.
Landings may be a bit longer, however I have not fully explored the use
of flaps, The aircraft now handles better with flaps enployed. 5 hrs is
certainly not enough to give a comprehensive test of all configurations.
Climb is about 100 FPM more , Stall speed is about 2 mph less, cruise
speed is at least 10 mph more.
You can now make a decent power off landing.
Power off glide improved from a decent of 900" per minuite to about 650
' per min at 60 MPH. Fuel burn at 90+ MPH is less than 4 gal per hr.
I do want to put the slats back on and see what effect that has, however
it seems that it will be difficult to give up very many of the benefits.
More later, Jerry
