Hi Kolb drivers,
It is pretty quiet on the list and a good time to thank all who
responded in reference to my gap seal and BRS interaction. Every one of
your replies added to my knowledge and decision on how to go about it.
I've decided to re-do my aluminum gap seal and replace the vinyl and
gooey velcro with dacron using sewed on and glued on velcro. Without
testing I could never be sure the plexiglas would give when the rocket
fired, and I want to be sure. The dacron will cover the portion of the
aluminum gap seal I had to cut away and will be a trap door to permit
the exit of the chute, should that ever be necessary.
Again, thanks; it doesn't get any better than all the knowledge and
experience contained within this forum!!

PS If anyone is interested in buying a completely restored '43
Stearman, give me a shout. It's white w/yellow wings and blue
tailfeathers and has military numbers on the side of the fuselage. It's
been virtually not flown since the restoration. The fellow who used to
own the strip where I hangar my FlagFly has it for sale. He's 80 and
can't pass his physical, so he's going to concentrate on having his '39
Piper Cub restored and fly LSA.
