Dave, Great flight report I probably will never do that flight. I have flown past the casinos of Laughlin on downwind to the Bullhead tandem wing fly-in. Snapped this canyon photo on the way to the fl

Phil, The only expense was you had to find your own way home. I had frequent flyer miles so getting home was low cost. We paid by volunteering for years when the EAA B-17 came to Ogden on their tour.

Bruce, At 8:00 min I get the left seat and have the log book entry. No B.S. Bob flew it first while I was hogging the nose bubble. I was very surprised to see him flying it when I crawled out of the n

Chris, Can anything be relocated aft of present position? Every pound moved aft no matter where on the airframe makes a difference. Give everything a critical why does it have to be located there. Jus

Jay, I missed your presentation I was preoccupied The PA-22-150 has a replacement engine 160 hp from a Cherokee that failed spar inspection. Next the Dragonfly! Sorry Kevin unable on the Spring Fling.

If your airplane gets above 150 F you will have other problems. 150 F cooks flesh. We post cure in aerospace because the designers cut the margins thin knowing we had proper process control. No mold l

Styrofoam softens at 284 F Heat deflection temperature (HDT)and melts at 420-450 F Post curing epoxy can raise the HDT but if it was built with Safe-T-Poxy (dark brown color) it is already at 150 F. P

Jay I have read about it but have not seen it. You can you tube how to make it at home for the chemists. Speaking of NASA and Hercules here is the full stack but I do not know where it is. Maybe Hunts

Rob, In an auto clave the usual cure cycle begins with full vacuum to expand the air bubbles so they move laterally between the plies. The pressure is applied to reduce the size of any voids left and
