Just fyi, I made up a couple of spreadsheets to predict the performance of my ES. One does a takeoff roll prediction and one thing it does that I haven't seen...
John, Thanks for the conditioning page from Parker. Looks like what I did was just the opposite! I did not get a copy of the booklet when I purchased an...
Skip, I'll know more in a couple days. Last I heard, it's a free upgrade from Garmin, but the local shop may charge something for the software upgrade. Of ...
John, I think my wheel and brake maintenance manual is somewhere, probably with my AOA installation manual! :-) I would love a copy. Mike **************Life...
I pulled the caliper and cleaned and reassembled the pistons yesterday, back on the plane and bled the left side. The right side seemed solid. I taxied ...
I need to buy about 20 yards of carbon fiber cloth and A/S is pretty high. Anybody have a source for cloth that's cheaper? Mike **************Life should be...
When I made my exhaust tunnels they were already 8 BID or so. Since that would have been next to impossible to blend in if I bonded them to the outside of...
I bought a fair amount from BIll Maddox on the LML...was very good price at the time. ... From: mikeeasley@... ... I need to buy about 20 yards of carbon...
Here's another question for the experts. I've worked with the Lancair carbon fiber fabric and it's very easy to wet out and get the air bubbles out. On the...
Mike, Stiffness and strength depend on a number of factors. In pure tension along the axis of the fiber carbon is certain much stronger and stiffer than...
Mike, I also don,t think that carbon is "sized" either but it has wet out a little easier than glass for me. A big problem with any lay up is the entrapped air...
Gary and Henry, I've investigated the core possibilities and there are a few that might handle the radii that I have in my panels. One factor that I...
While were beating this subject to death, is there an epoxy resin that might be more compatible with these large layups? I've had no trouble with working...
Mike, Jeffco (or whatever they're called now) also makes a slow hardener. In the shop where I built my plane, there were two epoxy pumps, one fast and one...
Mike, The guys who normally work with modes use prepreg and bag the parts. I don't know if that's feasible for you. There is a guy on the field that does a lot...
Bunsun works almost exclusively with *carbon fiber* these days. He should be able to tell us the name of the *red resin* that they use most often. He was even...
Greg, Thanks for all the info. I've used several adhesives that have the mixing tip. There are many epoxies available that you can pump through a gun. I ...
Mike I used this material to make armrests from, 94vo fire rating. http://www.mcmaster.com They have all different shapes and sizes that you can buy for a good...
Mike, I made my interior panels out of a 1/8" (or maybe it was 3/16 or 1/4 in - I forget) foam sheet with 1 BID of fiberglass on each side. Thicker than...
mike It is not that heavy for that application. I can send you a piece I have allot left over. I think what I am trying to show is that McMaster has all...
Guys, I'll be in Phoenix for Christmas. We'd love to hook up with anyone in the area and have lunch, dinner, fly, tell stories, etc. Tom Lawson N-905ET (275...
Hello everyone: This month is my one year anniversary since my first flight. Therefore it
also time for me to do my first condition inspection. I called...
