Hi all

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. This is just a quick note to let you know that Comcast eliminated my Kolb website so I have created a new one under the Wiener Dog Aero domain. [url=ht ...

I had a similar problem with my Icom A6. After some research I found that the A6 (or at least some of them) have a bug in how the transmit works that is not obvious. It turns out that keyin ...

I made the cowl for my Micro Mong using polyester resin but I think vinylester would be similar. I just primed with Glidden Gripper latex primer and sprayed Sherwin Williams All Purpose High Gloss lat ...

I just got the schedule for the forums at Airventure and I will be presenting on Wednesday at 11:30 in Forum Bldg 1. This year I will try to share what I've learned on the Micro Mong project and discu ...

I regret that I will have to cancel the Latex Paint forum for Sun N Fun. My ride from PA had a foot operation and will not be able to go, and going on my own is a little too pricey right now. I will b ...

The earbuds that I reference in the video are the in ear canal, rubber type that cost $10 at Walmart. Perhaps I used the wrong term but I assumed that all the "thingys" that ...

I just posted a new video tip for adding cheap earbuds to your headset to cut down on the engine/prop noise. It's effective and economical.

I have a friend that bought a Firestar that has a kinked boom tube, right under the prop. It had a collar over it, and it was being flown like that, but he wants a better fix. A firestar II boom is av ...

Jack,

I will check with Sherwin Williams on the clear DTM. The All Surface Enamel is actually the product I've been using on the last few projects and it's great.

Thanks for the info

Great info. I have tried Floetrol but I was not able to get the results that others have.

I have a couple questions on the DTM. When you used the clear DTM over painted surfaces did yo ...

It appears that Ultra 7000 is a solvent based paint, is quite expensive, and I doubt you would want to apply it with a roller. I'm sure that it would give you a superior gloss, but the rea ...

mojavejoe,

I know a few builders have used, or are currently experimenting with clear coats, but I don't know which products. Maybe someone else on the list knows. It would sure make is easier ...

Frank,

I've applied latex over other paints (dope and unknown products) with success. I would recommend scrubbing the surface with a Scotchbrite pad and solvent like Naptha or MEK to remove any wax ...

It's 1.8 oz peel ply from Aircraft Spruce, Stewarts EcoBond and/or 3M FastBond glue, Gliddon Gripper primer, the green is the other finish color, and latex has good UV protection. Please ch ...

I just finished a new video on applying latex paint with a roller. After the sanding and polishing process the results are nearly as good as spraying. Both methods, spraying and rolling have their adv ...

Do you need a new foam boot for your headset microphone? Make your own. It’s quick and easy. I just added this video to the Wiener Dog Aero Blogs page.

I've added a new Micro Mong page and 2 new videos the the wienerdogaero.com website that show the sanding and polishing process for latex paint. Each is about 12 minutes long and show the finishing of ...

Someone might want to so that they could do their own inspections (assuming they don't hold the repairman certificate for their EAB already). By taking the 2 day course you can do your own ...
