What and where were you flying and was this a dead stick intentional or was it due to malfunction?

@timketcham9139 Ай бұрын

@@mrtbrocks5664 I fly out of PA01 Linesville PA, I was flying about 20 miles east, over Blooming valley PA, when my engine died. I had just taken off from a friend's field, had leveled and reduced to cruise. About 5200 rpm. About 1 minute later the engine died. I had a 1,000' altitude so, with nothing but forest ahead, it was no problem turning back to a hillside field that I had just passed. The landing was rather typical since I normally come in high and do a spiral forward slip to the end of the runway. But being dead stick I had to be very precise.

Tim, do you still recommend t88 as a high strength epoxy, when it's crystal clear/new? Or have you switched to a different product altogether?

@timketcham9139 2 ай бұрын

@@ininkus I do still use it. I have restored planes 34 years old and their T88 bonded joints remain strong. But now I buy the smaller bottles so as not to let it get crystallized. Perhaps I brought my old bottle to my hanger and overnight it chilled. I'm not sure. But their engineers claim that warming it makes it all good... I didn't show that. It was still strong, and I must add that I use commercial white ash and that makes it more difficult to pass a stress test.

@timketcham9139 6 күн бұрын

@@frankbruns7137 sorry I just saw this. There's no need to do a w/b without the wings. And even doing a weight and balance of the empty plane is kinda fruitless because you only fly with a person in the seat and about 2-5 gallons of gas. I recently did a quick video on doing the w/b on the 202. The adjustment for w/b is simply moving the seat forward or back. I suppose in an extreme situation (1/2 VW with too long a motor mount) you may have to put tail weight on it.

We are having a blizzard now. As soon as I can get to my hangar I will measure mine. But it won't be exactly the same for you. Unless we built our planes exactly the same, which is not likely. The length will be about 110" or 2,794 mm. (2.794 M) Your actual measurement for your plane is found by attaching the wings, and raising it 4" above level at the wing tip. Then measure the distance.

I have some that never froze and was doing glue ups over several days in a 85 degree garage...on the 4th day it was suddenly cloudy and crytalized. It was 2 years old but freshly opened...always stored at room temperature. It does not have to freeze to go cloudy. And , the only contaminats that is possible was the air sucked back into the bottle. Systems 3 's video on crytalization mentions contaminates as a cause but that's a lie if you ask me. Now I'm afraid to use it...with 2/3 left. System 3 tells you to warm it up but they never claim anything about it still being structural...and I think they know it loses strength but too afraid to lose sales to say anything. If there is ever a glue failure that costs a life, I'll bet there are internal memos about a corporate decision to not be forthcoming. Why don't they reasure people that there product is still structural after warming? That seems like the logical question after finding it crystalized. By not mentioning it at all they imply that the product remains structural so they are definately still on the hook.
