If you go to Surplus Center.com click on Electric than on Linear Actuators you

KR> Belly board actuators

2015-02-09 Thread Dan Prichard
My actuator is out of a Honda. Right window 1998. Takes about 3 seconds to 
fully extend and retract. It is powerful to push the airplane up if it hits 
something on the floor. Trust me. Go to YouTube and search N257DP and you can 
see how it's mounted. 
Oh, it cost $30 at the auto wrecker.

At an actuation rate of 12mm or .472 inches per second it will take 
approximately 12 seconds for the belly board to fully extend. 

Is that fast enough?

KR> food for the soul

2015-02-09 Thread Joe. E. Wallace
Mark and those that live in the Land of the Frozen?..  Me too?   I have a 
couple hangar doors one overhead and another bi-fold?. for the ice problem that 
freezes the door down, I have installed a heat tape like those that are 
installed around water pipes in the hollow seal at the bottom of the door?.  
pulled it through with a tape wire and installed the blank end on one end and 
the controller on the other hooked up to a long drop cord that travels with the 
door and yet reaches the plug in?  electricity usage about like t 30 watt bulb? 
 it has always kept the seal from freezing down? still have to move the snow or 
ice just outside?  a bit difference Mark cause I?m in Iowa not Wisc or Minn?  jw

KR> food for the soul

2015-02-09 Thread Mark Jones
Joe,
That's funny because about five years ago I took one of those propane flame 
throwers and tries to melt the ice. It was an extremely slow process and the 
metal door got so hot that the paint cooked off and I melted the rubber seal 
on the bottom. The airport authority was not too happy.
