The ply stiffener at the rearwards position has the cross struts below and inside the longerons (like all the others). Anyone know the reason for this ?

The Flottorp prop worked well. Two flights last Tuesday in the cold. There was a crack from the center hole to one of the bolt holes. OK for a Piet, I guess, but decided to get a new Hegy 72X42. It should be here in a couple of weeks. I'll feel more comfortable.

Might want to check the archives on it. I did mine according to the plans and it worked out fine.

Not one drop since. The great bonus is that you can take the covers off and put them back one "forever" and they just keep on working. I think I paid about $6.50 each. Just look in Trade a Plane for the cheapest or order from ACS.

Think he said something about silicon rubber gaskets. Not cheap but would fix the problem. Anyone know what they are, and where to get them? > walt > NX140DL > (north N.J.) > > I forget what it's like to sweat. > >
