Skee Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 I have the PAC02 (15x6.00-6") Tires with RF-004 4.00x6 wheels, that is the same tires icp send out, not sure about the wheel icp send out(easy to meassure). If i had chosen the RF-009 6.00x6 wheel i could have gone super tundra 26" wheels but i want the Datum rectractable skiis in the future so i got the 4.00-6" wheels, no use for Aussies I recon to save around 4~5Kilos, but the intresting part is the "ALIR", makes it allot harder to wack one wing into the ground like Kyle´s aircraft accident due to uneven braking.
Guy s Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Ohh ohh they are here:crazy: My new toys.One front and two rear wheels with floating brake discs. Tubeless. [ATTACH=full]36495[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]36496[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]36497[/ATTACH] They look bloody good Skee. On the original Tyre,rims in the kit I notice the bearing wasn't a sealed unit and between the dust washer and wheel there was a slight gap where dust and dirt can get in over time, did you or others find this as well?
rankamateur Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I got laser cut felt dust seals from Reg to help keep the grease clean, don't be shy with the grease when you are assembling them though. 1
eightyknots Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I know it is from pictures from last month, but I like your approach to an ICP armrest

Icp supplied in the kit fabric o ring and a steal washer to seal it, that's all. 1
Kyle Communications Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 How much did the wheel kit cost Dennis?...including that braking valve...I can see it in the box of parts
Skee Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 How much did the wheel kit cost Dennis?...including that braking valve...I can see it in the box of parts I emailed you my invoice, I ordered parking brake valve extra. Black Colour extra, wheel caps extra, bleeding kit and oil. The alir brake regulator was included in the base kit. It's possible to get a hand brake on the yoke with integrated parking brake if you want too save weight and cash, I still wanted the differential breaking though. If you dare to go 4.00x6 tires it's possible too save 2 kilos more but they are more rounder, slimmer. I do think the outback possibilities get limited in that case.
Skee Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Hood now fits firmly, now i need to mount air intakes. Wheels are comming along, for beeing so professional Beringer forgot to send allot of parts ???? Got doors and stab/elevator mounted.
Skee Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 I moved the reservoirs for the brake fluid, this works out a bit better, i also filled the system and tested the brakes,, works like a charm, very easy to bleed the system with the bleeding kit. Made some plugs for the fiber glass molding, this bonocell is really nice. Now i just have to put the fiberglass over.

Kyle Communications Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 We use what we call spraybog. Its thicker than primer and fills the holes really well then you do lots of sanding then do the primer. You can use the primer of course just mixed a little thicker then you basically sand it all off then prime it again with a lot thinner consistancy its a crap job filling pinholes thats they they invented gelcoat Mark

rankamateur Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 My cowling was the last of the gel coat ones. I think the change was a mistake. They must be chasing minimum weight but where is the point if you have to use a kilo of bog to get a surface fit to paint.

Even a 50/50 mix of gel coat and the resin would be an improvement to rid the pin hole bubbles. May be they had some orange peel events when the first lay up of mat over the gel coat was made???

Skee Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 Got the new tank cover up and had to copy the inspection holes over to the old cover that didn't have it. Armrests are now on the doors. And i test mounted the cowl again to decide where to put the black line, i had to put it under the air intake. Tomorrow one of the wings are going to the painter over the weekend and the other one next weekend, so within one month she will have her wings 1
