Subject: | Re: Charlie Rubeck |
Last year at Brodhead when I purchased a set of Piet wing ribs from Charlie, he
told me that he had leukemia and was in his 5th or 6th year with it and had
begun to build a resistance to the chemotherapies that were keeping the leukemia
in check. This was last summer, so I don't know anything more recent than that.
I had never met Charlie before that and so imagine that if he told me, surely
his close friends are aware of his situation. In fact, if it were anyone
other than all of you and his aviation community of friends, I wouldn't post
this info about Charlie. Let's all say a prayer for Charlie...

System problems continue to plague the Matronics Email server.
Incoming List mail was being rejected from about 12am Monday morning
until about 10am PDT Monday 4/11. It is unclear at this time what is
causing the system problem, but I am feverishly working on the issue.
I had to restore a list subscriptions database from an April 6th backup
because all of the list files had been truncated. I then reran all of
the subscribe/unsubscribe requests since the 6th. You may have just
received a subscribe/unsubscribe request and the FAQ if you've
subscribed/unsubscribed since the 6th.
At this time new posts are being processed and operation should be
considered normal.
More as information developes...

Looking closely at Peters wing page should give you all the
info you need. One thing that is important that you see on
the gusset blocks at both the root and outer strut attachment
points is that the blocks are not cut straight across. The ends
taper into the cap area, or "butterfly". The longer that taper the
better. If you cut those blocks straight you are creating a stress
riser and at the outer block that could have serious consequences
as the load stress for the outer section is concentrated here due
to the parabolic nature of the load forces.
There have been a lot of sailboats with laminated masts lose said
mast because of this. And that's essentialy what our spars are.
What I like to do is right click on a construction pic that interests
me and hit "save picture as" and label it and save. Once it's in
your pic file you double click to bring it up in it's own window.
There's a zoom funcion here. Zoom it up till just before it starts
to get too fuzzy to see properly. Now you can study the details.
I just got back from a great weekend in Victoria. Revisited the
" Victoria Piet" on my Kitplane page and took pics of a new
Piet undergoing taxi tests. It's too late tonight but I'll post them
tommorow. The Piet that's there now was built around 1933. It's
rumoured to be the oldest continuously registered plane in Canada.
Notice the registration begins with "A". The builder's son inhereted
it and rebuilt it a number of years ago.
Just to whet your appetite, the new Piet has a Ford "B" on the nose.

So much for posting pics. The camera is still in Victoria!
I'm going over again on the 30th for the Alberni flyin and
another pilgrimage through the huge Mars waterbombers.
