Hello all, I'm looking for a seal that will inflate manually as needed. At cruise speed above 170 knots the rear fairing raises slightly just enough to allow...

Ed; Make your own! If you have a vacuum pump, you have an air source. Use a
bike inner tube! It is a good idea. Just remember the vacuum sucks to make...
John, thanks for that idea, I would not like to use my vacuum source as it is dedicated to flight instruments. I'm still looking for a small hand pump to ...

Ed, The door seals I've seen are made with surgical tubing, the real rubbery stuff. While you are finding that stuff, also find yourself a good blood pressure...
If it were not a LOT of trouble, you could build a base around the fuselage opening that would serve as a mount for weatherstrips. The weatherstrips could be...
Ed, One other thing that might be helpful. On N22YR, air escapes from inside the cockpit along the sides of the canopy back to about the back wall of the...

If I remember correctly this issue is covered in Kent Passer's book Speed with economy (If you don't have it you should get it). To the point he had to put a...
On Kent's plane, the canopy was extensively modified, and in the end it was modified to close "tongue in groove" style. Kent does mention in the book that the...
Thanks Kirk, I think the surgical tubing is the way to go good idea, I'll start working on this one. My canopy along the sides fit into raised sides on the...

Hi Ed, what about the bulb pump off of a blood pressure cuff . Dennis Hirst Mll C-GYIZ _____ From: mustangaero@yahoogroups.com...
Hi Dennis, It looks like that should solve my problem, the bulb pump with a relieve valve is what I'm going to try. Thanks for all the help, all good ideas Ed....

It's been a while since I read the book, but wasn't that low pressure area reduced considerably when he added the strakes(?) at the wing/fuselage junction and...
Maybe so, but I have the wing root fairings, and if the aft canopy area isn't sealed well, cold air still leaks in. Definitely noticeable at 16,000' in Alaska...
The wing root fairing did address a low pressure area and backward flow in the area along the sides of the fuselage just aft of the wing trailing edge/fuselage...

Less then a dollar a gallon more then car gas! It is criminal. And our government is allowing it!! Can anyone see a steam powered Mustang 11??? Better yet...
This is tricky. What country pays less than the U.S. for auto or aviation fuel? Maybe a few countries, but do they also have the same freedom to fly their own...
I keep a small, light-weight 12Volt tire pump in the trunk of my car. It plugs into my cigarette lighter, but it could be wired straight for 12Volts. The...
Yeah, I had a problem with that too. I used some pretty thick weather stripping stuck to the fuselage so the canopy could slide up against that. Simple and...
Oh, yeah, I have the T-18 style canopy. Tom Meeker N144TM My Patience Kirk Harrell <kirk_harrell@...> Sent by: mustangaero@yahoogroups.com 06/05/2007...
Greetings, I just completed the installation of a TruTrak Autopilot system with Altrak VS. Along with that I installed a Bendix King DME and did my annual....
It is interesting that your canopy pushes down at the rear. Mine lifts, but it does seem to have a wider gap at about the station right behind my shoulder,...
Characteristics of things I like in airplanes; rugged, simple, failsafe and light. The squeeze bulb air pump fits all those. I like the term "Flintstoneish"!...
I don't know about others, but even at a fast taxi I can hardly open the canopy. The force is forward. If its unlatched it will stay nearly closed until I...
They actually do push down at the rear. The pressure outside the aft portion of the canopy is higher than inside the cabin. JimC...

Again, very interesting. My canopy popped ajar in flight several times before installation of an over-center latch to hold it against the roll bar. The canopy...
