Steve,
It's the round cord. You arrived in Ft.Myers on one of the coldest days of the
year. If you'd like to discuss it, call me at 936-2774.

Don't know about a new source of cord, But I just saved a ton of money on insurance...
Only kidding, but I did by chance just land in your fair city about 2 hours ago
(ala Delta 767, not the piet..)
Is this the flat cord or the round cord we are talking about?

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Rib-lacing Cord
Pieters,
Don't bitch a whole lot, but I really gotta get this one out for venting and
warning others. This is my second time around using Poly Fiber system and am
well pleased except for the following: I ran out of cord (500 yds) from the
first time and had to re-order (from AS & S) to finish this second project. I
was rocking right along almost enjoying the lacing until I received the re-order
of cord. It was ordered under the same part number at AS & S but when received
it was much heavier cord and much waxier and only 296 yards. P/N 09-03800.
Talk about difficult. It was twice as hard to use and took at least twice
as long to lace. I was so pissed I called PolyFiber and ask them about it.
The tech I talked to said that he was aware of the cord being heavier and said
that it was all that was available. So, does anyone know of any other source
of cord that I might replace what I am going to dispose of? I have finished
with this project but will be doing more lacing in the future, I hope.

What have you guys used to paint your control system parts (after zinc
chromate primer)? Was thinking of using rustoleum spray paint.
Lighter colors are better at showing weld cracks correct?

You guys that powdercoated your control system parts, how did you deal
with the ends of your torque tube and bellcrank tube which fits
tightly and rotates in a bearing tube. Can those ends be masked off
before coating? And the insides of the bearing tubes as well.

This will seem like a dumb question (I know, I know -- there are no dumb
questions, but this one may qualify).
On the 1-1/2 by 1-1/4-inch white ash horizontal crossbrace that is shaped to
fit around the vertical uprights behind the firewall...and is held in place
with 5/16 bolts...should there also be glue between the ash crosspiece and the
back of the plywood firewall? This is the piece that the Model A engine
"cradle" rests on... I assume there should be glue here, in addition to the
bolts...and I assume the plywood "box" (where the mag and radiator will reside)
above
is also glued to that crosspiece....

Hi Rick:
I am really sold on the Poly-Fiber two part white Epoxy primer for all of
my metal parts. After seven days of cure time it is a really durable
finish. Paint stripper won't touch it and I can't scratch it off with my
finger nail and I can polish the primer to a nice sheen for a final
finish. I did read that Epoxy primer will get a little chalky after a few
years of UV.
Zinc chromate as a primer for steel works just fine, but I ran into
durability issues when I tried to topcoat the primer with spray enamel.

all my stuff was powdercoated. thermal tape is used to mask off areas where
powdercoat should not get to.

Most of the Fabric "glues" will lift the zinc chromate as well. Then there goes
your rust protection.

Rick,
I finally settled on Rust-o-leam appliance epoxy spray paint. In the
hardware store with a picture of a fridge or stove on it. Not too many
choices for color,,,black,white or almond. Cause I made all the controls
black, it worked out. Since most parts can fit into an oven, I sprayed
and baked at 250 F for about 1/2 hour. When it cools, it seems to be bullet
proof, even MEK wont touch it.
I was put onto this by my Mentor AP.

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Bert Conoly" <bconoly@earthlink.net>
I just heard about an engine /prop combo that is available. This is a Chevy
(GM) 2.5 Liter - 4 cylinder engine with a wooden prop. A retired Doctor (or
dentist) built this engine up for a Corben Baby Ace and it was completed and
flew. It was very satisfatory however evidently some family members
"encouraged" him to convert to a continental. Auto engine Phobia, I guess.
He told me it had a special cam put in to make the max power 92 hp at a
lower RPM than what the engine is rated at. I think it also of course comes
with carb, prop hub, stacks, etc.
This is the same type engine that Larry Harrison flew with for years - I
flew that plane several times and it was a sweet engine. It also LOOKS
very much like a Model A.
Dr Wicker is known here locally as a VERY capable builder and pilot having
built and flown a Marquart Charger for years.
Anyway - I have no interest in this at all - diont get a thing out of it -I
just wanted to pass it along.
If anybody wants his telephone number, e-mail me off line.
