SuperFlite System 7

Anyone out there have any experience with SuperFlite System 7?

[Mark Goldberg]

I recall a mechanic friend of mine who does fabric work telling me he preferred the SuperFlite system. But I don't remember anything about version 7. Mark

The only thing I didn't like about the system....need lots of ventilation. Probably used 6 gallons of acetone....all of it turned to vapor. I'll use the system on the Bearhawk.... Because I know the system now. Plenty of practice...sanding...sanding...sanding until I figured out how to apply the paint and get a glassy gloss. I do like that it's urethane. That I can color sand and polish just like automotive urethane.....but very very carefully.
I'm now to the....install the boot cowl stage...

Are those kydex interior panels Mark? You form them yourself or buy them pre-formed for the Pacer?

[Mark Moyle]

Yes Kydex. The front panels are formed from .040" the side panels and over head panels are .028". Used particle board forms and a propane torch. Bead roller and a leaf brake.

How much does that all weigh?

.197 lb square foot for .028". The .040" weighs .281 pounds per square. Is lighter than .016 aluminum sheet .23# sq ft, .020 aluminum .29# per sq ft. The 40 thousandths stuff is very durable. And it likes paint. I couldn't get the dark grey in .028" to match my front grey panels... Fabric interior...Kydex where the interior will see abuse and to cover the control cables for the ailerons and flap. The other benefit....I can get at all the fuel lines and fittings. They're either covered by Kydex or .025" 6061T6 aluminum.. I'll get some pictures later showing how the rear fuel lines are covered... Will do the same thing on the Bearhawk.. Removed 32 pounds original interior panel weight. 12 pounds of carpet. Kydex panels weigh under 5.058 pounds. Medium fabric... Carpet from national aircraft parts association weighs less than 2 point 5 pounds.
