    Fuel proof sealant

    Thanks @Terryscustom, I've had some concerns about Fortitude tanks, a 16oz I had unscrewed with the lightest of touches when I took it out of the plane. It's why I wanted to rebuild the 32Oz one really for peace of mind. If I lived in US I'd order the Taildragger one right now, but it costs a...

    Fuel proof sealant

    Good tips guys. @Terryscustom, what type of tanks have you fallen back to - Dubro style or something else? While we are on the subject, does anyone put a brass tube inside the clunk line on larger tanks (32oz +) to stop the line doubling back on itself?

    Fuel proof sealant

    @Terryscustom, so are you basically saying there is no perfect compound for this job?

    Fuel proof sealant

    Can anyone recommend a fuel proof sealant that I can use to reseal the cap on a Fortitude tank once I have opened it up and replaced the cap?

    MTW canister - header length?

    I've got an MTW 110TD to use with my DA70. I'll be using it with a two-into-one manifold, but can anyone tell me if this canister is sensitive to manifold length? I'd like to adjust the length of the single pipe if possible to get the canister where I want it. (Unfortunately MTW are now closed...

    No Limitz Spinners

    For interest, I made contact with Paul Svec (No Limitz) and he told me all production of said spinners had moved to Krill Aircraft. Got in touch with Krill and they sell the spinners which can be painted to any RAL colour by them.

    No Limitz Spinners

    @jamesrxx951 fair point. I can get a Mej, but they don't do an Ultimate shape which I think looks good on Extras.

    No Limitz Spinners

    Are these still made, if so what is the company website as the only like I can find (won't post it as won't help anyone!) doesn't work. I see PAU have the spinners, but surely there is an original source?

    Safe Workshop Humidity/Temperature For Planes?

    It is possible the readings are off - it's a cheap device doing to monitoring. But then UK Winters are fairly wet and warm. My concern was really rust I guess at that humidity level, but probably over thinking it. We have an active IMAC community of which I am part. As it happens we have a big...

    Safe Workshop Humidity/Temperature For Planes?

    Wasn't really sure where to put this!! I've noticed that as Winter approaches the relative-humidity in my workshop is 75-90% with the internal temperature anywhere between 41-54F (my heater comes on at 41F so it shouldn't drop below that). Is there a risk that these conditions could, over a...

    Red Carbon Fibre Spinner?

    @Phil.Griffin , thanks! @pawnshopmike yes, TruTurn is my backup option but they're so expensive (although very good as I have one on my IMAC model). I'd be happy to go with fiberglass as long as is red, does that widen the options? Can anyone give me a rough idea how much heavier a spinner...

    Red Carbon Fibre Spinner?

    I'm struggling to find a 4.5" red carbon fibre spinner in the UK. I'm happy to import from US but I'm not really familiar with the shops in the US - can one of you guys who know point me in the right direction of which shops to buy from please? (Only other requirement apart from red is that is...

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    Anyone know what size screw is needed to secure the sensor to the DA? I'm guessing is Imperial, maybe 4-40 but I haven't got any lying around to test with...
