Re: Greetings from Central Arkansas

Re: Cowling issues

My pins are stock, no issues. Before I started flying, I used to wipe down my pins with silicone lubricant. For some reason I don't need to do that anymore.

When solidly supported on a flat table, more pressure can safely be applied and that speeds up the polishing with the first two and most difficult grades of polish. The warning about not using too much pressure is mostly about not causing ribs and...
