Jake and I were talking the other day and came up with this question:
Has anyone out there used Scotch Brite pads to prepare the aircraft surface for polishing?
We were thinking of putting the Scotch Brite on a orbital sander pad and start working smoothing out
the grain, using red, brown, gray and finally white pads prior to using Nuvite.
I have the info published on matronics, Swift and Airstream and have started to polish with the… Continue

Today, we re-pitched the prop so it will turn up to 3300 rpm. It would only turn up to 2350 when I flew the other day.
What surprised me, most of all, that the temperatures seem to stay within boundaries.
Also, the carb linkage was adjusted so the engine won't die when I pull the throttle back too far on my next landing.
BTW, does the two or three bounces count as two or three landings?
102 degrees kept… Continue

I finally did it!
I flew N990MK maidens flight yesterday and everything went well!
No, the wings did not fall off!
All the bantering back and forth about the safety of the 601s had me quite concerned, so much so that my airplane, signed off by a DAR 19 months ago, had to be annual-ed before its first flight.
The most recent letter from the FAA put my mind at ease.
A few minor adjustments and its back off into the wild blue yonder.…

Hello,
My name is Mr. Michael Mccarthy, I have contacted you before without any response from you. Please replied if you receive this message. I have something very important to discuss with you, I have a vital information to give you. Could you please get back to me on (mmichaelmccarthy4@gmail.com ) for full details.
Michael Mccarthy.
OK, Mack, now you got me curious. Sounds like you figured out the polishing, and have some yellow. Any pictures....?
Pat
Thanks for your comment on N620RH
I finished on 4/17/10 (a lot of work!)
Did it all in my hangar in Chico with a helper part time. No Doug. Although he did come by one day & gave me the thumbs up.
Good luck Mack

Thanks for commenting on the pictures.
The salt flats were fun. The 701 and the Challenger got low enough to touch their wheels in the sand/salt. I don’t do those tricks in my 601. I took movies & pictures of them doing it though.
The weather was good. We had a high cloud layer which kept me from baking in my 601 toaster oven. Some of the pictures were a bit dull without the direct sun though.
My plane’s tail feathers are indeed fixed thanks to Doug Dugger at Quality Sport Planes in Cloverdale.

I hope your doing well.
This picture you commented on was taken by Alan from his plane. The mountain is Mt. Rainier which is 14,411 feet. He considered buzzing the guys on top but thought better of it, to give them the solitude they earned the hard way.

How are you doing? Are you flying that thing or just looking at it? Have you started the upgrade?
Regarding my trip down the coast, there was lots of moisture in the air so the skies were hazy in places but never anything close to IFR.
The flight took 4.5 hours. By car the trip would have been about 10 hours. Route 1 down the coast is beautiful but very curvy. The view from my Zodiac was spectacular as always.
Take care, Steve

I should have used carbon fiber, might save 8-10oz
