Corner wraps were one subject we didn't touch on yesterday !
If I were building a Rebel today, i would absolutely use FUS-70's
for ALL 8 corner wraps - definitely make for peace of mind for anything
that might come along in the future !
Thanks to everyone who came and contributed knowledge yesterday !
We learned a lot about painting aircraft, among other things, and,
as usual, demolished a lot of coffee & donuts ! :-)
Ken Lehman won the Copper Cleco trophy for a second time, as
he has been very actively working on his Rebel, completing the
painting since the last meeting ! There's hope for the rest of you,
though, as he has so little left to do that now there's a good chance
for someone else to get the trophy !! ;-) :-)
At this rate, we'll have to get a Silver Cleco Trophy made
for the next builder to FLY his completed airplane !! :-)
Next Murphy Builders Meeting is Sunday, January 8th, at
Brampton RAA Hangar - hope to see you all there !!

Fus 70???
We had a smaller turnout than normal yesterday in Brampton but still a
valuable and lively discussion.
I was also able to take a couple of pictures of two different Rebels to
solve my firewall placement questions.
Thanks again to Bob and Anna.

Hi Ken and Drew
The hydraulic lines in the cockpit blew in several spots and the brake
wehave blown about 3 times once on wheel gear and twice on floats. So, now
forhave braided stainless and solid aluminum from your feet to the calipers
efficiency.the brakes, this made a significant improvement increasing brake
cornerThe plastic lines on the hydraulic float pump have blown on the pressure
side in three spots, (our Rebel will leak oil out of the fuselage on hot
days for the rest of its life, I should probably reweigh it and do a W&B
amendment for the spilled oil onboard) anyway, I now have solid aluminum
from the pump to the floats but still have plastic lines in the floats,
though I expect to replace that plastic line as well.
My most recent structural "need" is doublers at the front of the rear
issues.wraps under the door sill.
Sorry to have missed the get-together in Brampton on Sunday-family

I ended up replacing all my float hydraulic lines because of leaks. They
were not as high quality lines or fittings as the brake lines though. I
thoughr Angus went with all aluminum lines on his origional instalation.
