    You can do what YOU like but I still think soldering is good in our type of work. Do you think the FAA would condemn solder use.? They might have a fight on their Hands. How many have the High quality crimping tools and crimps? There is NO misinformation in what I've Said. I just don't agree that there's only ONE way to do it. (which is what you are suggesting.) Your advice Might cause People to use Low quality crimps. Have you thought of that? Nev

    Armatures are usually soldered but I've seen the wires welded to work more reliably at Higher temps. Nev

    I thought the pilot was talking too fast and easily upset. All that talk shouldn't be Happening on a busy Surface Movements Control Frequency . Nev

    The widespread use of crimping is to avoid skills needed to use solder and the do the Job Quicker and cheaper. Normal crimping is not that good. I don't think I've ever purchased a wiring loom that was crimped... Nev

    When not sure of any instruction just say "Confirm" Bla Bla Bla. Nev

    It ALL adds up doesn't it? The extra is Multiples of normal usage rates. Land of the fair go? Ha HA. Nev

    Yeah Stall speed is a normal U/L's cruise speed. Nev

    When you stall , you FALL. There's nothing holding them up otherwise. For the WING to do it's THING you Must get a reaction to the air passing over the wing sufficient to keep you up there even when pull extra "G" if that's what you are about. Nev

    Don't be %@#!$@ ridiculous. Don't stifle Discussion Here. FAA is Not GOD in ALL things. They didn't pick up crook Boeings.. We've given you sound reasons and you've had your say. Your Sarcasm is not needed. Not ALL crimps are good. We CAN spend the extra time to get a better job IF we feel like it.. There's nothing worse than a "hot "Join in an electrical circuit How much electrical circuitry have you wired BTW.? Have you seen Verdigris? Nev

    You just KNOW. (someone will bring that up). What the Canard? Nev
  12. facthunter
    Stall speed and wing load AUW and a few other things might get in the Way. Nev
  13. facthunter
    Maybe in Libya.? Nev

    Stranded Copper wire where Moisture gets near it will turn green Called verdigris That would be just great at the crimp. Nev
  15. facthunter
    Do you assume no one will comment on it being a canard? Nev

    You are free to do what you think is best. The solder doesn't have to run up the wire if you do it properly. Any crimp backs off a bit from where you crimped it to. Same as if you want to go to a Right angle you have to go a bit past it and it will spring back a bit.. If you straighten a bar you have to go a bit past straight to get it there.. Nev

    When an aeroplanes claimed main safety feature requires a pitch control be stalled to be activated, I don't buy it. Nev
  18. facthunter
    When you do an intended stall you are ready for it. The stalls that Kill you, you are not ready for.. Nev

    Showing off a bit. At least you get to see how quickly SOME planes enter a spin. As you well know ALL planes are different and where the C of G is also makes a lot of difference. Unloading a wing will instantly (almost) unstall it. Under one G with fairly quick forward stick. as distinct from the Normal reaction as the nose drops, which is "instinctive" back stick. Nev

    You have to stop the Horizon going with you. Nev

    I never use Liquid Fluxes (Zinc chloride) with Wire joins . Use resin cored or electric use resin paste fluxes. Any time you uses Bakers or zinc chloride wash the finished job with water and detergent and treat it to prevent corrosion. It s hard to" tin" steel. unless it's tin, zinc or copper plated first. Nev

    Heat shrinking a short length of cover stops that, Crimping springs back a little after you clamp it. Like a Cold rivet.. Nev
  23. facthunter
    I've seen crimps that pull out relatively easily and you can easily get resistance in the Join, which will result in HEAT and Lower voltage when the current is high. Nev

    He/she certainly looked formidable. Nev

    I DID say Proper. Where the solder ends can make a point where flexing happens and copper work Hardens with time and anywhere it flex's. Crimps can corrode. Solder in sheer is strong. ie in a good fitting sheath. Use resin fluxes and tin the Join fully. It's a lot slower than Crimping and requires a bit of skill..Nev
