KR> REALLY DUMB CRANK QUESTION

Hi Barrett, One significant factor, regardless of which end it's being driven from, is that the torsional loads imposed on the crank in an automotive application are vastly smaller than those imposed by a propellor spinning at 3000 rpm. I know there is plenty of experience in the VW world as to

Glad to hear you're OK Mark. I'm sure I won't be the only one watching with interest to see what your next experimental is like - and what ideas we can incorporate into our own projects. Cheers, Tony King Queensland Australia I've got a flying story for you, but I'm not sure if it'll be

For aluminum protection: Watch the EAA Hints for Homebuilders video and do what Brian Carpenter says. It works! http://www.eaavideo.org/channel.aspx?ch=ch_hints Anodize is the best (and pricey) aluminum treatment, but next best is alodine and doable by anyone right on your work bench at home.

KR> REALLY DUMB CRANK QUESTION

Ever since I have given real thought to using a Corvair engine in my project and looking thru everything about them that I can find, I've had one really burning question that I have WANTED to ask, and haven't. In light of Mark's 3rd engine failure, I just HAVE to ask this question now- Q:-Why is

Thank you all, for your replies. The home-made powder coating setup is intriguing, but I think I'll keep it simple and go as follows: Aluminum: Alumiprep treatment. Dry well. Followed promptly by zinc chromate. Steel: Clean well with acetone, then soap and water, then flush with lots of

KR> steel and aluminum protection--suggestions?

To protect aluminum, try Alodine, a surface treatment that provides a layer of corrosion resistance. You just paint it on. Paint will bond to it. If you're willing to do a little chemistry and have a 12 volt battery charger, try anodizing your aluminum parts. The advantage of this process is

Seth, I just used the zinc chromate spray can on my wing attach fittings as the primer then hit it with a black rustolem for the final coat. Works fine. Rob Schmitt N1852Z In a message dated 12/25/2011 11:00:57 P.M. Central Standard Time, krnet-requ...@mylist.net writes: From: Seth and

KR> Spinner installation

I needed to cut my Vans 13" spinner for installation with the Sensenich 54 X 54 prop on the Corvair. In the past, I used a Profile Copy tool, but could not find mine and all I could Google up, were not deep enough. So I decided to make one. Here are a couple pics of it and the installed
