I got awarded by my EAA chapter for doing stuff. I hadn't even stopped to realize how I'm present at every function. I JUST LIKE AIRPLANES, YOU GUYS.

EAA-Mitglieder, bitte schaut euch das an.

Die E-Mail an die Mitglieder ("Special Meeting per rollam voting" vom 16.1. und nochmal 23.1.) enthielt leider gar keine Infos, um welches Thema es eigentlich geht, sodass auch mir die Brisanz erst mal nicht klar war und ich das als den üblichen Vereinskram ignoriert habe.

Abstimmungsschluss ist 31. Januar.

Voiskohan HS lisätä alt tekstin jokaiselle fingerpori sarjakuvalle jotta saataisiin tänne fediinkin alt tekstit fingerpori-botin päivittäisiin julkaisuihin.

Pitänee selvittää voinko lähettää HS:lle sähköpostia aiheesta. Muistaakseni EU:n "European Accessibility Act (EAA)" vaatii tämmöisiä saavutettavuus parannuksia varsinkin isoilta sivustoilta.

The glider now has 12 pounds of lead shot and epoxy added to dead space in the very end of the tail boom.

My initial estimate of volume indicated that I could add 8 - 10 pounds this way. I'm pleasantly surprised, and I didn't make a chocolate covered mess of things as I was pouring this goop into the tail.

I need to add a few more pounds to the tail. Phase two of this project will use lead plate, bolted to the vertical fin spar. (I need to unroll the 1/4-inch plate first, then develop a template to cut the lead.)

I could not add the epoxy/lead shot mix all at once because of the exothermic reaction of epoxy. When mixed epoxy is in a thick blob (instead of a thin layer), it generates enough heat to warm itself...which accelerates the chemical reaction...releasing more heat...further accelerating the reaction.... I have seen epoxy smoking hot because of this, so I added a bit, waited a half hour, checked temperature with an IR non-contact thermometer, added a bit more when it was clear that the exotherm was only very mild, etc. That took a while, but turned out well.

I note that Roto Metals has a discount on some 1-inch lead plate. Get your fork lift ready. No free shipping!
