link to a source document? I'd like to take a look at it.
Lacking approval or guidance from Cessna and the FAA on powder coating Cessna spring gear, I decided on polyurathane base and clear coat system. It looks very nice. We shall see for how long.
I don't doubt at all that the folks at Jabiru USA have seen fuel compatibility problems, are concerned, and want to do something about it. It's great that they want to do something about it, however...
Some enthusiasts in Idaho solved the problem in another way. More than one organization. A c3 and a c7. Different functions. I don't know if any EAA chapters are doing this, but it wouldn't...
There are many factors at work, but yes, this is one of them. If parameters are all held the same, and you do nothing but slow the prop, there is a timing effect. If the engine was near detonation...
We have a focus problem (not unusual in unmoderated forums). On this thread my plan was to respect the original posting about separation, by taking the discussion that began on operations to another...
Ok, half the second sentence has to do with ethanol operations. Can you add anything? What was the material that failed? How long exposure time? Age of the hose?
Plenty of other places to...
Kent reported Jabiru retracted the ethanol approval.
Here is the US service bulletin JSA-006 prohibiting ethanol and advising against mogas....
Pete,
I'm glad you shared your experience. Sounds like you hit several key points. The washed fuel supports combustion, but there are reasons why it isn't a good idea. Wet fuel= higher tendency...
ADI- Again, Kent, stating absolutes when there aren't. ADI stand for anti-detonation injection. Any injected material that assists in preventing detonation by definition is included. Most common is...

Kent, I applaud you for picking up an aviation concern and pouring your time and effort into it. As a fellow aviator I appreciate your enthusiasm for aviation.
That said, I think there are some...
That is a very good point. Boiling off the protective oil, doesn't sound like a good thing. Someone with old tube experience please speak up. Vegetable oils degrade over time, free fatty acids...
Thanks for the clarification. Is the history of the piece in question known?
A good surface prep followed by an appropriate coating- powder or not, is going to prevent surface rust. I suppose...
Actually that isn't correct, unless you are simply expressing an opinion. Especially since we are on a experimental aircraft forum, how about we talk without using so many absolutes? It would be...
I agree whether to pow coat or not seems be driven by personal preference. Personal preference is great when it comes to colors of favorite foods, but when we are talking about a maintenance...
Tom,
I've googled URA paint systems and not getting much. Is it a propriatary product or a general term? I did find this http://www.hentzen.com/index.php/products/brands/ura-zen/
I'm...
Chris
Do you have a link? I'm having no luck finding it. Closest I could find was a control rod failure, but wasn't powder coated......
Powder coating has become a common finish for many non-aviation applications and a few aviation items. That probably isn't suprising, since many of us have likely seen powder coating peform well in...
