Thanks all,

I opened my tank back up and sealed from the inside with pro-seal. Will test in a couple days and hope I got it.

I am just completing the finishing gussets for the rear carry through and float bulkheads. After doing a lot of archive searches and looked at a lot of the pictures it has raised a lot of questions about what needs to be beefed.

On the Ontario mods to fus - 25 & 26. What is the reason for doubling the skins here? Do they buckle under landing stresses or is it to stiffen the door area? I did double the lower door sill which made them very solid.

The fuselage is complete to the firewall, did the MAM mod to shorten the boot cowl 3", also added the brace between the motor mount brackets.

I have seen Wayne Oshea's firewall mods which raises another question about the stability of the stock firewall. Why does the firewall need such large, thick doublers? If anyone can lend a suggestion I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Curtis

Hi All OSH bound Rebel persons. Here is the (first) FINAL List. Oshkosh
2010



Enjoy Airventure! Dick Wampach SR-108 N331RW, Hope to see all of you
in 2011



Ted Waltman will have his Moose there in the airplane camping area west of
the Forum & RV's area, and has offered it as a gathering place for all
Murphy enthusiasts.

Same as last year, he will have a few things to eat and drink available,
donations to the cause will be appreciated or BYOB. I think the main topic
will be Airplanes, Food, & Beer However you guys will have to set the
priority.

You may want to bring a few creature comforts such as folding chair, eating
utensils, your own frosted beer mug, etc. BUT please remember unattended
lawn chairs may be arrested & towed away (Per Oshkosh rules)



Ted says: He will have a DeWalt radio/mp3 player this year for full-time
music (iPod & Pandora over smartphone).

I think we need to up the quality of hotdogs and have some potato salad
available. In that regard, I'm happy to chip in for more/better food and a
consistent supply of chips/munchies. I think we need to do a better job with
the "Donation" jar. Folks were good last year, but perhaps if we have some
better arrangement we could get more folks to chip in for food. Suggestions
appreciated

I hope to have a bigger cooler available for both food and more beer.

Our museum (
<outbind://43-00000000A6157F8B9DCA4744847727319770F78964D52300/www.vafm.org>
www.vafm.org) will have a tent/mini-museum on Aero Shell Square hence I will
be able to ship out a huge cooler (I hope).

Any night for the "builder's party" is Ok with me (except for the EAA
Homebuilder dinner night whenever that is).

I will be volunteering up to 5+ hours/day at the museum on Aero Shell
Square, so I won't be at the Moose perhaps as much during the day as I was
last year.

I maybe flying in as early as Sat; schedule still up in the air (plus
weather of course). But the museum wants us there Sat to start setting up
stuff. We'll see. I'll have access to car(s) this year too, so we can make
more frequent (if req'd) beer/food runs as necessary. Ted



Bob Patterson: says he and Anne will definitely be supplying
'refreshments', and 'brats for the BBQ' for a one evening 'Murphy Builders
Get-Together'.-- likely Tuesday, but TBD later ...Will try to post details
on web site once things are settled.



Ian W Berry [ian8wb@westnet.com.au] Hi I am coming to Oshkosh to get some
ideas to finish my rebel kit 451 with 6 cyl Jabiru engine off, will arrive

66, on to OSH then Canada to <http://www.pattersonaerosales.com/>

I have to go out to the Van Nuys FAA office to sort out my US pilot's
license. I nominated there as I saw a video 16 right I have had one
conditional on Aus license since 1990 I am completely flexible in my
travelling arrangements Oshkosh is the centre of my time in the states I am
fortunate that apart from farming I have been an accountant, civil
engineering supply manager ,and a station pilot with a 1000 hours of aerial
mustering experience so where ever I am there is something that will be of
interest to me. So will keep in mind how to fit in meeting you and seeing

Hello fellow builders,last year I bought 233R and am presently putting an 0-320 into it. I'm looking to put it onfloats(float attach points already installed) there seem to be more 2000 floats on the used market than 1800's.Is it possibble or adviseable to put 2000's on my rebel.

Rick Greenwood 233R
