    Epoxy/ adhesive Suppliers?

    I did suspect 9394 was difficult to get ( lead times for orders can get looong) but what I didn't expect was not being able to buy individually, maybe the big guys are hoarding most of the production.... I am glad I asked. What you don't know can make your flight a really interesting ride. (...

    Gelcoat pinholes problem.

    I have not used Gelcoats, mostly pre preg and wet lay ups, but somehow it sounds like you haven't impregnated your fibers properly ( impregnate the fibers between two pieces of plastic sheet, with a squeegee) , Vacuum bagging will work great, and pumps are not that expensive nowadays ,we...

    Ridiculous

    May be better to have the buyer to sign a contract, in which he states he is totally responsible for all and any accidents/ incidents related to weather/ lack of proficiency/flying under the influence of medication/ lack of common sense/ lack of pre flight preparation/ operation outside the...

    Removing Belt Deposits From Re'drive Pulley

    Have you tried Toluol Toluene Solvent?, It cleans Neoprene really good ( I used it to repair wetsuits, when you need to remove gunk to make patches) Im sure it may work.

    fuel starvation equates to "I didnt do my homework and I have to pay dearly for it" on 99% of the cases, I had one of them many years ago, and fortunately it was a mechanical failure, ( I say fortunately because I would be embarrassed forever if it was due to poor planning on my part), whenever...

    You could bond the composite to aluminum using araldite structural epoxy ( for specific uses and product number contact the manufacturer) or any of the hysol variants ( again, ask the vendor for a specific product for the intended purpose) but the bond would not be very good, as Aluminum tends...

    Dornier Do 335 Pfeil

    (EDITED) the idea is great, but there is a truckload of stresses that you have to be careful with, some of the structures are way overbuilt for an aircraft of its size, to keep a margin of safety. (some little bird told me that somebody saw my post and its a very good idea to delete the...
