    Hi. Interesting to see the lifespan of material that has variation of temperature and vibration factors. Thin material is more susceptible to environmental factors, so seeing the transparent screen being replaced the way you did in this video is very helpful. Increasing your workshop to a higher temperature (this time of year - chilly outside) for assembly to minimise fracturing of the plexiglass, especially as the plexiglass is relevantly thin. Nice to see your modification, progressive step is a better term, to use silicone to bond the transparent and expandable film onto an aluminium frame. Rather clever as it will also reduce the vibration of plexiglass in a cold environment that can reduce the chance of fracture of plexiglass especially where it has been riveted.

      Simular but not as sensitive and the sealant is the non amonia type so it will not craze it either. No material creep with the soft aluminum rivets especially if you drill the holes to 3.5mm to give the shank some place to go.

      I might get more people there but more better still they can find the place, these grass airstrips tend to vanish in the green fields that suround them and can be easy to miss without knowing the land marks.

    Hi Algy. Whats the best way to store steel? I've just received some metre long, square, box section streel to use for the undercarriage of my project but it'll be a good while before I start cutting and preparing it. Best wsy to protect it from corrosion etc?

    • @flyingkub
      @flyingkub 26 дней назад

      I wipe it over with a light oil, that will be easy to clean off and put it in a tube with silica gel but make sure it is not in contact with the steel. I then use brake cleaner to degrease it before use and then wire brush it or sand it to a bright finish before welding.

    I really liked the cable seals, they look just the job and better then grommets. Can I see your finest speed tape application there Algy ;)?
