RE:RV Compressor ????
OK so this is the final word on compressors for RVs'. If you are going to build an RV aircraft a compressor of this size and capability is what you MUST have in your shop.........
or not.........single phase/230/80 gallons/dual piston/oil ...........
Since beginning my RV7A 09/04/2004 I have been dealing with the paint or not to paint issue. I used AFS now Stewart interior one coat poly as my primer of choice. This was OK but my Home Depot (Aero) 30 gal oilless Husky just didn't cut it.
So this is what I finally found at Lowes (Aero)......Campbell Hausfeld on sale for $749............

Will I am just now getting the necessary materials/tools together to paint the plane. The following is a generl list:
New Compressor plus add ons.......2 part Stewart Poly paint/UV primer filler/primer/line tape/and all that other stuff for a simple garage paint booth (lights/fan/plastic/...........$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$). I have a Sata 1.4 gun.
Stay tuned as I will update my progress of success or ???????
