Primer......

No, not what you thought :mrgreen:

If you use Tetrosyl Etch prime, they are having production issues. Just had an email from James Lomax, their Coatings Development Manager. They have no stock in 5 litre packs, but there are 1 litre packs available.

They hope to rectify shortly.

Re: Source of Stainless Steel Piano wire

Yes, anything in the Spruce catalogue can usually be sourced via LAS or Spruce Europe in Germany.

It is like a crossword - you have to know what question to ask to find out the answer. Very frustrating sometimes.

Re: Availability of Aerowave 2001

The prep for Tetrosyl is as simple as that. Scuff up with maroon Scotch, panel wipe and spray. Once applied as an interior primer, that is it, it is a good quality basic primer that will significantly enhance the corrosion proofing that Alclad already has. On the outside, it needs a build primer ove...

Re: Ignoring PPR

If you ignore PPR at Sherburn, you will shirley never fly ! They require based aeroplanes to apply to fly the next day which seems a little odd. No other aerodrome in the area seems concerned. We always thought that PPR related to arrivals, not departures. I am sure there is a really valid reason :w...

Re: Glues

West System is a recognised system, there is a tendency for LAA to want you to use a light top finish if areas underneath are subject to heating. That said, the One Design aerobatic aeroplanes have their mainspar and skins glued on with West, they are stressed +10/-10g and several in the USA are pai...

Re: Spraying dope with HVLP

Depends which system you are referring to. Either way, it sprays fine. I am talking the difference between a turbine sprayer and an air line fed one. They both run a similar gun, should be about 1.2 or 1.3mm nozzle. The only thing I would want to ensure with the turbine unit is has it got protection...

RV Model A Engine Mount

Vans have asked me to see if anyone needs a mount for a 7A or 9A with a 360 engine. May also fit a 6A

Someone has ordered and received one over here incorrectly and instead of re stocking at vast expense, Anne has asked me to reach out.

Contact me off list please.
