Re: ie that VW for sale - more info ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Stanley Pull Saw From: Kerry Miller Date: Sat, 09 Jan 1999 07:19:54 -0600 X-Message-Number: 1 Mike et al, You wouldn't want to do much heavy-duty cutting with something like this, but for a bunch of those little pieces of 5/8 square they aren't bad or for cutting through foam/glass. One thing I just used it for was to clean up that angle in the middle of the elevators. I marked both top and bottom, then cut through both sides at the same time. I got lucky, it came out nice and square for a change. They are great for tight areas where you wouldn't have room for a regular wood saw or a normal hacksaw. Besides, I'm a tool nut and it gave me an excuse to get a new toy I could actually use! I haven't tried it on any metal, but if I had the room I'm pretty sure I'd rather use a regular hacksaw. It will use other kinds of blades but I don't remember the name of them now. > >You mean to cut wood with hacksaw blades, or metal?

Connecting the harnesses to the (relatively distant) tailwheel assembly sould result in a small downward thrust vector in a crash situation. >Is there a way to attach a shoulder harness in the kr so the >attachment point is either level or above the occupant's shoulder? >What load will this support (i.e. 6 g's)? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: New Engine Parts. From: KR2616TJ@aol.com Date: Sat, 9 Jan 1999 16:35:44 EST X-Message-Number: 3 Thanks to Dr. Dean my G/P 2180 VW now has a new back side to go with that nice new front side (force one prop hub). I just finished rehanging the engine this afternoon after removing the HAPI case and flywheel. Since I have runup the engine, I loosened the prop hub bolt and re-torqued it. I was happy to see that the breakaway torque was right on.....................comforting feeling. For those of you researching VW's, one of the causes of crank tip failures with the VW is an over torqued prop hub bolt. Now back to refitting the 4X1 tuned exhaust and intakes, rewire the mag., starter, reattach the fuel lines and fire this sucker back up..............WOO HOO. Now I've got an extra HAPI accessory case with 20 amp alternator, flywheel, mag pickup and puck. I machined the pickup out of 4130 as the one Great Plains sells does not work on a HAPI case so it's not store bought, but you can't buy one, works just fine (30 hrs of machining). First $150.00 bucks puts it in your home. I'll do the UPS charge.

Later, when you wish you had a gauge, how difficult will it be to add one?

Today I glassed the cowling and front deck mold. That was a ten hour job even though I had pre-cut the glass! I left the heater on in the shop holding about 50 degrees for a good slow cure. It should be ready to pop from the mold Monday. Also received my D-fly canopy this past Tuesday. Hopefully I will have some new pictures soon to update my web page.

Since Dynel is out and fiberglass is in, maybe that and the newer epoxies have helped to alleviate the problem with cracking in the rapid temperature changes. Just an idea. I started gluing in the ribs today, my plane (boat?) is still upside down. I got both ribs in the right wing, but ran out of clamps so I'll have to do the left wing next time. There's no such thing as enough clamps... Kerry Miller Royse City, TX PS Closed circuit to Tom Stokes - I only had 1 kid and it delayed my building by about 10 yrs.

That takes lots of guts. My hat is off to him. Just think of the stress of the incoming kid's adjustments to your home and the tearing of the heart strings when they have to move on... Good job Tom.
