The DAR comes today (he's up here signing off an RV and a Baby Lakes
anyway), but after a frenzied attempt to get ready, there's no way in the
world he's going to sign me off today. There are way too many things to do

That's how I did it, you may have some improvements, but it worked for me,

Adding a mixture lever is very easy. All you have to do is to "pile up"
two throttle units, which means you will add a third plate on top of the
second plate. You'll have to make the second handle (mixture) the same way,
but
smaller, and bent suitably for clearance.
You'll then use a longer fric

Thanks Mark. We really appreciate the good work you do for the net.

Hi, Today I did some fiberglass work on my project,
but before I was done the temperature dropped to
around 45-50 degrees. Can anyone tell me if the epoxy

to around 70-75, or will it not cure at all? Hopefully
it is not ruined. Thanks, Rick Wils
