    "Pro-Glas" from Fiberlay?

    I've seen several recommendations for Fiberlay as a supplier, but none for their "Pro-Glas" epoxy systems. Is their 1100,1200, or 1300 system safe to use? I'm looking for an epoxy resin that is comparable to Safe-T-Poxy/E-Z Poxy. It would be nice to use Fiberlay as my local supplier now that I...

    Aluminum as an axle?

    I'm not an engineer, so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I need slightly longer axles (spindles). I have access to some 6061 T653 and I'm wondering if this material would be strong enough in such an application. The axle would be roughly 6 inches long and 3/4 or 5/8 inches in diameter. The...

    Any opinions on Poly-Fiber Smooth Prime?

    At first I was only seeing positive opinions about Smooth Prime, so I ordered some. Now I've found a few comments from people that have had a lot of trouble with it. These comments were a few years old though. Has anyone used it and what are your opinions of it? Are there ways to get a better or...

    Why are there no 2 1/4" (57mm) NAV radios? or are there?

    There are several 2 1/4" (57mm) COM radios and even transponders, but why aren't there any NAV radios to match? Some of these COM radios even have the ability to receive down to the 108Mhz frequency but provide no NAV output. Even the Sporty's hand-held radios can give NAV guidance. The SP-400...

    I know the first choice for most people is sanding. Some people have suggested there are safe chemical strippers, but I don't trust that. Another alternative to sanding would be media blasting. Several sites have products listed as safe for fiberglass. I'm pretty sure they are referring to...

    Bill of Sale for a kit under construction?

    There is plenty of straight forward information if you are purchasing a completed aircraft with a registration number painted on the side. The question I have is what type of Bill of Sale is used when purchasing a kit that hasn't been completed and has no registration number associated with it...

    any solution to missing paperwork?

    I'm interested in purchasing an aircraft that the seller estimates to be around 95% complete. He is the third owner and hasn't done much with it since he purchased it. He doesn't have the builders log or chain of ownership documents. Has anyone here had to remedy a similar situation or does...

    Hello from Oregon

    Hello Everyone, I've been lurking for several months. I fly a King Air B200GT for a living and I also have an A&P license which I haven't put to good use in years. I used to own a 1959 Mooney M20A (with wooden wings), but couldn't afford to keep it at the time. I've wanted a StarLite ever...
