NO, no, ash is strong but brittle! Use spruce.

Gene,
I used Ash and laminated two 1/2" pieces together to make the legs of my
straight axle gear. The reason for using ash was the fact that it is
commonly used in axe handles and extremely resiliant to shock loads.
Two off runway excursions by me (due to my "superior piloting" skills!)
through rough buffalo grass intersperced with gopher holes and cow pies at
30 mph,has shown that the gear holds up very well to this kind of a stress
test.
I highly recomend the use of ash, it certainly saved mine!

One visit to a major league ball game should give you an idea of the shock
load capacity of ash, I saw four or five broken bats in one Yankees game a
couple of weeks ago. While your gear is undoubtedly strong, spruce is
still more resiliant and, I'll bet, would take a bending side load without
breaking.

Alex,
Mine are aluminum from AS&S. Not the super duper forged ones just the
cheaper aircraft type.
If hinges from an outhouse is OK, I figure these are fine.
Used similar on a Fisher, and they gave good service.

If spruce was that great at resisting loads, hammer handles would be made of
Spruce. Ash is much stronger but it is heavier. Many wing tip bows are made
of ash as it can be bend and still retain it strength. The harness trees of
wagons are made of ash for the same reason.

The only problem with the one illustrated is that it has neoprene gaskets,
which do NOT mix with gasoline! Be sure to use a fuel-resistant material
for the gasketing and other components.
And as far as the gauge mentioned sometime back on this list and on the BPA
website, I downloaded and printed out the directions for fabricating the
"Stearman type" gauge using tubing and a ping-pong ball (if I remember
correctly). It's nifty!

Barry,
I chose the strap hinges over piano hinges because I felt they gave a much
more solid attachment to the wooden spars. I just couldn't see putting an
off-center load on a 1/2 inch spar only 1/2 inch from the edge.
I used fairly heavy (6 inch or so) strap hinges, probably from the same
supply emproium you looked at. I ground off the pins, welded the loops
shut, bent, and cut to length. My hinges were zinc-flashed, not hot-dipped.
The advice I got was that with adequate ventilation, the zinc wasn't a
problem. I trusted my source, but not being up on the physiology, I'm
offering this as narrative, not advice. In any case the zinc burned off
easily and left white powder on the nearby surfaces.

We are trying to decide between strap hinges as shown on the plans or piano
hinges. We went to a fameous Home stuff superstore and loked at the piano
hinges, flimsly. The strap hinges looked ok, but were hot dip gavalinazed,
can't weld. What is a Piet builder to do? Are there any sources for 3" strap
hinges that are not plated?

Hi Ted
I mounted the guage as close to the rear right cabane strut as possible. I
am hoping it will be safe as for passangers. Next time I go to the hangar
I'll take a picture and send it along. As soon as I find a petcock with NF
thread it will do double duty as a sump drain.
Aloso I used Doug fir for my gear struts.

| Subject: | Laser cut GN-1 parts available - please respond if you |
need any.
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "DJ Vegh" <aircamper@imagedv.com>
I will be placing my order for some lasercut parts for my GN-1 Friday.
Because of the way the cut list is working on my order, I will be getting
some extra parts that I will not need. These parts are laser cut from .080"
4140 and also bent where applicable.
I will have them available for a cheap price to those interested.
Parts will be:
3 extra sets - tail wheel steering horn left and right (bolts to both sides
of rudder) $20 per set.
1 extra set - elevator horns left and right $20
1 extra set - walking beam support brackets left and right $15
If there are any parts any of you GN-1 builders need let me know. I will be
able to add it to my cut list. The more parts I have cut the lower the cost
per part is..... so... rudder horns, aileron horns, brace lugs, etc...
let me know and I'll draw them up and put them in with my order.... you can
pretty much plan on about $15 per part... so let me know ASAP!

DJ, did you ask them if they would do 4130. I noticed that somewhere in the
program you could make a special request with your order for different
materials. It would sure be worth a note to them.
