larry, this is roger mitchell, I work at TWA-AA overhaul in KC Mo, when we do
composit repairs we use a perferated plastic on the cloth/resin layup then a
solid plastic film, tape down firmly both layers, second larger than the first,
and use a plastic applicator to push out any air bubbles, on
left hand or right hand rotation? what rpm's were you getting?

test stand 2180 with rear drive and ellison
carb , indicating approx 4000 RPM ,am working to check cal. heagy 54x50 prop

my spelling is not my strong suit, go to the auto parts store , buy the item
used to apply body puddy,I hope this clears up the comfusion,we use the afore
mentioned method at American A/L when doing composit repairs
( epoxy resin/glass repairs) we use a rather stiff squ?,flexable plastic
app
a puddy knife could possably cut into the plastic overlay sheet, a plastic
blade works better,it takes a bit of pressure to
to work out all the dry areas
Could only be a putty Knife. ( small Trowel)
the cooler temps,tend to slow cure time,two-three days , depeding on what your
next step is,if the temp drops in the 30 range might be trouble,plug in a
portable electric heater, I've been using safty-poxy on MO. for two years now
and seen times when it took three days,my garage is heated
I'm getting dangerously close to primering my KR2S, help me out guys, what
products have you used, what advice can you give to make the job
easyer,faster,or better?
How about metalic paints,good /bad /or indeferent?
if you check out ellison's instructions, I believe you need to build a pressure
box around the carb for proper operation
The carb is an Ellison EFA2 designed to be used in the 1835cc VW.

RE:I plan to use S/P as the only primer.
RON , if your very careful you can handle the wings with one side,including
leading edge glassed. I did both tops of the wings,removed them and did the
bottom,I build a rotersery to aid in tis process,I would supply plans for the
rotersery to any one interseted for a tail wheel version. could y
most wing racks hold the wings with the cord line upright,to inhibit bowing of
the wings
I am concerned that having them held by straps might
cause them to develop a permanent bend. Is that a
possibility -- and is it a problem?

just a thought, sailplanes use high aspect ratio,tapered wings,commercial
aircraft do the same,a hersey bar is easy to build,but may be ineffficent in
compairison and use a larger heaver spar just a thought

according to faa ,info found in EA-AC43.13, aircraft woods should have grain
structure straightness of no more than
1" in 15", there are other woods which could be used but spruce has the most
consistant grain structure, and workability. others include: douglas fur,noble
fur,western hemlock,wort
FYI if you go to the FAA web site, type in search , "acceptical
methods,techniques,and practices", you can download
the A&P's bible of aircraft inspection and repair, these are min. req. but
considered safe(over 400 pages)
It has appeared to me that wicks is consistanty higher priced than spruce, I
think they are a smaller company
Wicks $809.93
A/C Spruce $675.00

FYI boeing aircraft co. instructes fiberglass repairs to be layed up
alternating warp by 45 deg. with each layer, to increase the strength of the
repaires resistance to delam and riping along the flex line of the part

you might consider that most handles are bored to 7/8 or 3/4 dia,soif you plan
to use a nice grip you may wish you went smaller with the control post

off the subject, or back to the question, when fiberglassing if you use a hair
dryer on high heat/low wind it can help the resin wick into the cloth. it's a
good way to keep from using more resin than is needed, paint the surface , lay
on the cloth brush or squeggy while applying heat and pull t
