Final got hangar in shape and build begins.
Have some questions on Accelerated Cockpit Module and associated:
There are some bolts installed with nuts on top. Can I reuse elastic stop nuts,
if so how many times or do I need new ones?
The fuel tank is glued into position now. Will I be able to install the float
style fuel gauge?
What type of sealing compound is needed for the Float Gauge?
Is it worth it to leak test fuel tank? If so how do you do it?
There is no plating or protection at all on any of the aluminum parts used in
the Accelerated Cockpit Module. As a matter of fact some of the aluminum is
showing signs of corrosion, as is the interior of the installed Cow Bell (Spar
gold holder), which is made of steel and is rusting on the interior and now
very hard to get at. Do you recommend just leaving all the stuff unprotected?
Or do you recommend perhaps attempting to clean with scotch bright and paint
with Self Etching Primer and a Brush?
What do you recommend for protection of the interior walls of aluminum tubing,
like the aileron and elevator thin wall and long aluminum tubes?
Thx.
