Yes; That at least is what I am planning to do. I have a new poly tank. When I remove the top of the seat back and get the old tank cut out I will take the poly tank and do some fit ups. Then I will
Fred: I find it contrary to the general consensus that you are struck by the high degree of precision built into the kit. I was struck by what I considered that each and every model seems to me to be
Those support pads that are "called for" are indeed "extra" as they were not in the original design and were put in as an afterthought when problems started coming about. The tank I have is one of th
I have been using a standard triple beam balance for years. Very mechanical and reliable, Ohaus makes a nice one with taring capability. Just like they used in high school science class. Or by the st
Dump the plastic fuel tank its too much a pain in the a_ _ to cut the plane apart to get it out if it cracks! Steve Hagar A143 Mesa AZ The tank and cockpit module are still out and so I have a blank
Mine is basically complete I have about 25 hours on it but it has been cut open to get the gas tank out because it had developed a crack. I am just procrastinating while I am developing an aluminum t
I was anticipating this when I started so I drilled and tapped the inside bores before I inserted them. That way I could insert a threaded rod and put a slide hammer on the sleeve and pull it out. Ev
The issue is draining the fuel out of the tank and having it empty for an extended length of time. The tank "drys out" and contracts. A crack will develop along a bondline of one of the fiberglass mo
Arnold; A143 has been down for awhile while I am developing an aluminum tank for it. I got the leaks after draining gasoline from the tank. What happens is that the tank expands and I am told that if
My seals made the door buldge so I didn't use them and was going to install some automotive type "half D" rubber seals. I had gotten anxious for the first flight and had not bothered to install my su
I and others have mentioned this before on this site about expiration dates on the Redux. Alot of that is due to how long they want to keep records and liability. If you are concerned about the suita
Svein: It sounds like you are doing almost exactly what I am planning to do. A little higher and a little narrower. It doesn't give too much extra capacity however. I was going to use the bottom of t
Jeff: Make some guides out of Nylaflo tubing to run the cables through, for the sides of the wheel well cavity. It is available through Aircraft Spruce. Steve Hagar A143 Mesa, AZ at the part of the i
Can someone tell me what a "petroleum officer" is and who he owes his living to? And who thought it was a good idea to have such a person. Are there sergeants, captains, and generals in the petroleum
I had vents in the D panel and the higher pressure in the back caused some exhaust getting into the flap slots while going slow to enter the cockpit. After performing a preflight on a Liberty (certif
I made a fairing to that encased the outrigger pivot mechanism and extended foreward. The light is inside this. The opposite wing has the same fairing without the light. Steve Hagar A143 Mesa, AZ Has
You can kill 2 birds with one stone here. The bottom door sill is not very stiff. Going in and out you tend to bend and stress it with your butt. If you make up a flat layup of about 4 layers and mak
I put in a cover and located the fuses under there for my main electrical bus. Steve Hagar A143 Mesa AZ -- Original Message -- From: Sent: 1/29/2009 7:53:13 PM Subject: Europa-List: Instrument module
There is no fuse in there that would result in any catastrophy if it could not be replaced. I have a main bus, and essential bus, and a battery bus. If a fuse blows and it has been properly sized and
Roland: I have gone through the routine quite a few times and 5 minutes seems quite a stretch. You spend more time opening a hangar up pulling the plane out and closing the hangar up. As noted somewh
