    Chuck and Ryan's Carbon Cub Build Blog

    Are the parts coated with some kind of corrosion coating? it seem strange to do that much assembly before applying a Zinc chromate or alodine conversion coating. all the aluminum I have used in aircraft have been coated before assembly to prevent corrosion between the parts

    McLaren replica build base on a Manta

    don"t panic, some stainless is magnetic. the high chrome/ nickel 300 series alloys are mostly not magnetic but a few alloys are slightly magnatic. some of the car parts makers use 409 stainless and it is magnetic, not as corrosion resistant a the 300 series but ok for cooling lines . mostly used...

    Any sailor out there?

    Single man Cats are a lot of fun but with only a main sail they do not have the speed of a Cat with two or three sails.They benefit by the accelerated air between the main and jib sails. single sailed Cats come about very slow and are very hard to sail in a light wind. The F18 cat is my favorite...

    The Airport solution

    why clean it? we should think green here. if we clean it up there would be a lot of toxic waste and pieces of Sh*t to dispose of . why not make the container of biodegradable material and just compact it, then store it in a very deep hole in the ground somewhere in the world where it is more...

    Fuel pump opinion?

    How much HP are you running? 600 Lbs/hr maybe. 600 Gph would be good for 4000 HP the A1000 is good up to 1500 HP still a bit over kill for a GT 40. the A 1000 is to big and unless you are running -10 suction lines you may be cavitating the suction of the pump which will shorten the pumps life...
