There you go for some of them It was always my intention to do so however it took me quite a while to figure out how to do it. I have in fact just with some effort just finished linking all the articles when a minor bug in the editing system resulting in me losing all edits since the last save. What a PIA will finish it some other day cheers Davidh

i have posted some other material into the Articles section re UV and painting aircraft. As far as I know when describing paints latex, Alkyl, Acrylic and Glycero are equalavent terms in different markets. I'd be pleased if some one more knowledgeble than me could clarify. Davidh

I painted the top surfaces of my Skyranger with 303 protectant expecting UV protection. I then went OS for 6 weeks leaving my plane in a hangar with a Thruster that had no UV protection. Neither plane were touched during that six weeks. On return I found black mold/fungus spots all over the treated areas on my aircraft. The non treated areas were free of growth as was the Thruster. My enthusiasm for this product evaporated very quickly davidh

the info below is copied from another (Skyranger) forum the writer is American so his materials are those available in the USA. I also read somewhere that if you can see light through the painted fabric then the UV protection is probably not all that great. Cheers Davidh I reveiwed the posts on painting the Skyranger fabric and started practicing on fabric covered cardboard using different tools, brushes, rollers and pads and different mixtures of the Floetrol. I found the best method as indicated in earlier posts of a high quality foam roller and a high quality brush. I painted the underside of the horizontal stabilizer and it looked good--even better after the second coat. I bought the highest quality latex exterior, high gloss enamel white for the white potions of the plane. It looks great. Mine was not clear coated and the fabric was grey where the aluminum tubes rubbed on the fabric. Insects were smashed into the weave of the fabric and almost impossible to remove. The belly was very dirty and again impossible to clean. I wanted to be able to clean it and protect the fabric. The best method was already discussed -- roll the paint on as evenly as possible and then use a wet, but paint scrapped off brush, to lightly even out the roller bubbles. I also had a water spray bottle that I used to spray the surface and the brush periodically. I found I could only do one panel at a time before it dried too much. I used more than the recommended Floetrol and sprayed the can brush and roller pan regularly to add a bit more moisture. I put two coats on everything--and may put another coat on the tops of the fuselage, wings and stabilizer. All the white parts took 3 quarts of paint -- I was careful to apply thin coats. I painted over the SkyRanger logo planning to simply purchase a new logo to place over the painted image. I took an exacto knife and scrapped the white paint off the red label and it came off just fine. My plane is yellow and white. I was shopping for a good yellow (not too orange or green) when I realized I really liked the Chevrolet yellow on new cars. I took a swatch from the promotional brochure with the color choices to the paint store and they matched the color. All the white painting took 12 hours and the yellow took another 4 but I am very happy with the results. It is not glossy like a smooth surfaced plane but it is clean, white and sealed and has excellent UV protection. My plane was not clear coated so it had no UV protection. One can see brush marks when very close but it is a great improvement, easier to clean, full UV protection and one cannot see the inner frame and it looks sharp. I am very satisfied. I will need to re-weigh it to see how much was added but I estimate 3-4 pounds of solids were added with the paint. Dale

perhaps the jab saw the technam coming and had a small loss of vital odouriferous fluids. Each year at my place there is a nasty whiff of decay it turns out to be an accumulation of grass grub beetle bodies that have been attracted to a combination of moisture in the spouting leaf trap and the adjacent street lamp. I'd suggest looking for possible moist spots in guttering etc and check for similar nasties. Davidh

coleman stove Coleman Model: 533B705 I carry mine inside a stainless billy click here for more info.

i have a small coleman cooker that uses unleaded. It will work OK with leaded fuels however over time the lead residue builds up in the 'generator' tube eventually rendering the stove US. However for the occasional use avgas is fine. cheers Davidh

Thanks Tomo. Any and all feed back greatly appreciated, Especially ideas for articles. Davidh

Drizzt did say "Let them do the pre flight If they are interested." Which is, I would argue, not necessarily a good idea. There are very good reasons why the airlines maintain a sterile cockpit during the critical phases of the flight. A couple of questions from the passenger and you could very easily get distracted and leave the tow bar attached or the pitot cover on. Them's my thoughts Davidh
