YS-91 almost done

[Ken Thompson]

Hey Dowayne,

Yep, I got her done.  The recovery I need isn't physical, it's financial.  I don't think my wife would understand me spending the electric company's money on a contest.  This last weekend, in Norfolk, was a lot more expensive than I expected, but, I didn't think it was a good idea to tell my wife I couldn't take her to see our son before he deploys to the Persion Gulf.  I like sleeping in our bed, not in the shop with my planes.<VBG>
I'm sorry I'm going to miss it, but I have been tossing the idea around to attend the Nats, just for the experience, 'cause I know I am in no way good enough to be competative in Intermediate.

See ya' on the road,

Ken

  Make sure the toothpaste you use is the paste type and not the gel type. The gel type won't have the abrasives needed to lap the valves and seats. 

   

  You can rest anytime come on to the shoot out.

  Well folks, 

   

  Not really, I did just like Verne told me too and used a # 11 and scraped it gently just until the rough stuff was gone.  I wiped the stems with a rag and am ready to re-install the valves.  I am going to use toothpaste to re-seat the valves and my question is, when I'm done with that can I just wipe the excess off or do I need to clean it with something special before re-assembly.

   

  Thanks in advance,

  Ken
