Hi PA The thickness of the primer is probably along the order of .020-.030" thick for each layer. The spray/sand/spray/sand drudgery can be short circuited a ...
I forgot to mention that you probably shouldn't get too carried away with sanding micro. The primer will fill the transition from the laminate to the micro...
I picked this up off of the LML. Sad news. Shannon had a beautiful legacy that was painted here in Las Vegas at Flying Colors. Sympathy goes to friends and...
Thanks for the advice. I have been using a long board (3M) with 60 grit. I do notice a difference when I put a new sheet on so I should probably change paper...
I started using the PolyFiber Smooth Prime system that starts with three coats of a prep that appears to me to be a thin epoxy. They recommend working it in...
You also may want to switch to long boards you make yourself from 2" x 2" angle aluminum, in 4' or even greater lengths. Some boards I have are 8' long, some...
I also found that changing the paper often was a real advantage. It did a better job and I didn't get so tired. I found a place that sells the paper much ...

John, I ordered through Lancair. I am trusting that they will provide me with the engine that is the best fit. They have order an IO-55019B for my ES. I do...
Drew - The 19B has a fuel pump outlet of 180 degrees - like the N2B. It also has mounting provision for air conditioning. Other than that, the difference ...
Paul - We tried that Poly Fiber epoxy Pin Hole Filler. It was a mess. After one coat (squeegeed on) it became apparent that there was a problem. It never ...
Thanks for the info on the 19B John. I am a little behind the research curve. I will let you know what I find out. BTW - no plans for AC on this ES. The AC...
To everyone: I took a picture of the plane that won grand champion. Notice the custom baffeling cover. I think that is a much better idea than the pop riveted...
DME and Transponder frequencies are in the same band (980-1220Mhz), and therefore use the same antenna. If you use a DME and transponder, then you have to...
I saw this airplane many times, and was wondering if it would win something. The guy went all out to win that's for sure. He had mirrors underneath, and...
This is a plenum and a lot of Glasairs like this one have them. They have been the number one choice to cure cooling problems. The guy who designed one for the...
Like Ron said, transponders operate only on 1030 - 1090 MHz. (One for transmit & one for receive - everybody uses the same frequencies.) DME operates on...

Mike - I believe that this is a serious problem that needs action far faster than seems to be happening. By all means, I would send an email and a followup ...
