Gary..Thanks for your response. I believe your experience (re: 40 wt oil)
was pretty typical for the time (before restoring cars became a religeon).
I got my car in 1953 and I guess I used 30wt on advice from other users or
former users. The Floyd Clymer reprint of the manual talks in terms of
viscosity and flash point, instead of "weight". When did standards come out
on "weight", anyway??? I'll pose the question about thin oil to Grant
McLauren and see what happens..Carl Vought

These may have been posted before, but here are a couple excellent sites for
first-time builders -- lots of info about wood, glues, etc., etc.:

| Subject: | Three piece wing spar dimensions |
I am laying out a rib jig based on the Flying and Gliding plans but am planning
on using the three piece wing. It appears from messages on the list that the
three piece wing may use a different size spar. What are the cross sectional
dimensions of the spar?

Jake,
Same spar dimensions with either version.
1" X 4 3/4" routed.
An acceptable alternative is a 3/4" solid spar.

Terry, I need two tee shirts, both Large size, unless the shirts are smaller
than usual and in that case, one Xlarge and one Large. I also need two
stickers. It looks great. DJ is right, in silk screening, the more
consistently you can use the same color, the better. Over three different
colors, just have them do a four color process. It will be cheaper in the
long run.

Some that I haven't included are wire spoke wheels...and corvair engine. I
kept the continental engine...because most of the folks who came to Tick
Hill have continental engine projects and because I have already spent more
time on the artwork than I had planned. Perhaps I will have more time in
the future and can revise the logo later.

As a matter of fact!!
What Frank had originally were all sold.....
But we're working on the possibility (ONLY a possibility at this point) of having
him build some more......an announcement will be made to the list when (and
if) another batch gets built and if any become available.

Ahhh, an Air Camper right in the middle of things.....
At least it looks like Bill Rewey's Pietenpol (with the stars on the wings)....maybe
not....I would bet that's Bill standing on the port side.....

The link above goes to a shirt worn by a few elite folks at Brodhead, mainly
Doc, who looked rather dapper in his new BYOP shirt. (Also, I hope to have the
website WWW.BYOP.US up and running soon if I can ever figure this internet hosting
& design stuff out. Don't hold your breath.)

I think it's been mentioned before, but thought I would share a great site I found
a while back.
I'm checking some wing angles/rises/slopes/etc and needed to know the exact angle
for a 1" rise at the wingtip....and this site makes quick work of it.
Go here: http://www.engineersedge.com/calculators/triangle_solution_menu.htm and there are a bunch of right triangle formulaes that make the numbers quick and easy (unless you have a Smoley's...and if you know what THAT is, you're an older antique than myself!)
I think I once heard someone say they put in about 1 1/2 degrees of dihedral so
they would have an inch or so at the wingtip....NOT. 1 1/2 degrees at (approx)
161" gives a bit more than 4" of rise....ok, it doesn't really matter at this
point, but it sure is nice to have a quick and easy check of the numbers!

Thanks to Chuck for the tip about Quincy. It was on the route to OSH for me
but after Chuck's bad experience I decided to avoid it and landed at K52
(Monroe City, Mo.). Friendly place and the FBO keeps a picture album of the
visitors. Fuel prices aren't bad either at $2.34.

| Subject: | Re: Trig help... |
Jim,
All those angles and measurements can be done with the Sine, Cosine, &
Tangent formulas. Pretty simple stuff once you get the hang of it. I'll have
to
admit, though, having a program that calculates it all for you is much easier!
