Default RE: BVM T-33 AFS Build thread

Hi guys,

Thanks Mark, good idea, I guess I could always source local screws etc.

Dave Schulman just sent me the air line plan that I have lost, he was on vacation so thanks Dave. Guess what, yep incorrectly plumbed a severe case of user error!!!

And to make me look even more stupid, I re read the manual and it does indeed state what sizes of tap are needed. Double DOH! I think!!!

Did my usual last night, dropped the hatch cover from the attic, came down with the fuz to wash it and promptly stood on the hatch cover. words begin like XXX!!!!!$$$$!!!!!

I weigh, well a lot, and it just cracked on one corner, fully repairable, how strong is that as a moulding!!!

So the hand saw, knife and tape are just ready.

One question, clearly there was a very good reason to fuel proof the formers in the D/F days, and I suspect the reason is equally valid now. What do you guys use, BVM suggest sealing with CA or epoxy? Presumably this is best done before fitting to the fuz, providing you don't seal the gluing edge?!

This may seem that I am an amatuer, in truth, that is why I started the thread, I don't want to be under any misapprehensions and am happy to ask the dumb questions. The only real dumb questions of course are the ones not asked!!!

Cheers,

Gazzer
