    Subject: Aerolite glue
    From: rhartwig11@juno.com
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: rhartwig11@juno.com Aerolite is an excellent glue (a hundred Falco builders can't be wrong, can they?), but like any other glue it must be used strictly according to directions. Keep the catalyst and its fumes away from the powder-water mixture. It is a good practice to keep the lid on the catalyst (and any brushes soaked with it) until the time that you apply it to the mating surfaces. 1. Apply the glue (powder-water mixture) to the first surface. 2. Then, if you are doing a large surface, apply the catalyst to the mating surface at a table several feet away. 3. Promptly bring the two surfaces together and clamp or fasten them. 4. Don't use Aerolite powder-water mixture after it has begun to thicken over a period of several days (refrigeration will slow this process.) Fumes from an open container or a part with catalyst already on it can begin activating the glue prematurely. If this happens you can get poor joints. Good ventilation is very important to keep this from happening (and to protect your health.) The factories building wooden war planes during the WWII had problems at first with reliable glue joints with Aerolite. It was found that they were not adhering to these precautions. Once that was taken care of they achieved good glue joints. I have wooden wing ribs that were glued together in 1975 with Aerolite and are still strong. The joints on these ribs are under quite a bit of tension as I did not steam the curvature near the leading edge and removed the staples after the glue had cured. Aerolite joints will stay strong under heat that will cause an epoxy or plastic resin joint to fail--heat that can be generated inside an aircraft sitting on a hot tarmac under a summer sun. All that said, I will still continue to use West System epoxy. Dick Hartwig

    Subject: Re: Corvair College in Ohio?
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Kip & Beth Gardner <kipandbeth@earthlink.net> Group, I have discussed with William Wynne the possibility of holding a Corvair College here in NE Ohio, possibly in conjuction with the annual Taylorcraft (early July) or Aeronca (early August) fly-ins that EAA Chapter 82 hosts each summer in Alliance, Ohio. We have 3 or 4 guys locally who are planning on using Corvairs in Pietenpols & I imagine there are a number of you within a few hours' drive who might be interested as well. He is interested in the idea, & I would like to a have some sense of how many people might show up if he committed to coming. Chapter 82 has just completed a beautiful renovation of 14' x 60' mobile home as our new clubhouse and project workshop, which is located at Barber Airport (2D1) in Alliance. Also, for what it's worth, I've just been elected president of the chapter & so have some amount of influence in getting the Chapter behind the idea of hosting a CC there. How about some feedback from some of you guys in the 'middle' part of the country? Canton/Alliance is about a 1-1/2 hour drive west of Pittsburgh, which makes it accessible to a large part of the eastern and midwestern parts of the country. Of course, Alliance is the original home of Taylorcraft, with Barber Airport being just a few minutes drive from the WWII-era factory (it's a landmark for the downwind leg of the pattern for 27). Merry Christmas everyone! Kip Gardner North Canton, OH

    Subject: Tune in the Wright Replica attempt to fly on WEDS AM !!
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Michael D Cuy <Michael.D.Cuy@grc.nasa.gov> see this web site for more info: http://www.wrightexperience.com Hey guys---they flew the flyer again (Hyde's group) a few days ago something like 200 feet. (after the damage in late Nov. was repaired) It looks like they have some nice 17 mph winds forecast for Weds AM when they are going to attempt the recreation of the flight. I guess C-Span is covering things starting at 9:30 am Eastern time. Then something about at 8pm the Discovery Channel or Discovery Wings is going to recap the day's activities Weds. eve. When I went to Chicago to see them try to fly another exacting replica back in Sept. you CANNOT believe how slow the props turn on these Flyers---I mean it's only something like 12-14 horsepower and they turn at something like 900 to 1100 rpm. It's really wild to watch and hear-- you keep waiting for them to 'rev up' the engines to the kind of RPM's you and I are used to. We've come one helluva long way in 100 years. I hear tell the big problem was CG with that thing too---after the boys came back to Dayton they moved the engine forward a foot or two and solved the AFT CG problem ! Must have been unstable as heck in it's original configuration. I wish em' well tomorrow. Mike C.

    Subject: New Shop, Exhaust Fume Extraction
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Michael Fisher <mfisher@gci.net> Run internal combustion engines in your shop? This is a popular, if somewhat risky, practice. It is much safer when there is a proper method for fume extraction. Go to respected shops in your area to see how they do it. Get a five dollar, dark spot CO indicator and tack it on the wall to make sure the system is working. Now is the time to tee into the chimney or cut holes in the wall. Some shops are dark caves where the air gets better when someone lights a cigarette. Try to avoid that. Best holiday wishes, Mike Fisher

Mike in Pretty Prairie, I don't think they have any cameras on the flyer but I wouldn't be surprised since they are carrying a flight data recorder. They've already gotten data from it from the 3 flights that we know of.......let alone the ones we haven't heard about. The wind is looking lousy today for them but picking up tomorrow for the 10:35 am attempt. They are supposed to fly again at about 2 pm if the first try doesn't crack it up. Mike C.

    Subject: Re: Pietenpol as a School Project
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: <gcardinal@mn.rr.com> I give Aerolite positive marks also. Especially for small parts like ribs. My Piet ribs were built 7 years ago with no problems. Paint the resin on the capstrips and hardener on the gussets. Put the gusset in place and after a couple of seconds you can feel the gusset beginning to set. It holds perfectly while the nails are pounded in. I tried T 88 on a couple of ribs and didn't like it. The T 88 acted like a lubricant making the gussets hard to keep in place while nailing. All testing on Aerolite samples broke the wood, not the glue. Also, I used birch plywood and didn't bother to scuff the surface. Did some sample glue-ups on both scuffed and un-scuffed ply. The wood broke on all samples, no problem with the glue joints.
