Problem with "fish eyes or smoothie" as it's also known as is it fights
silicone with, more silicone! Silicone is not good for rubber or paint. I
restored an MG midget years ago and could not get even primer or etch primer
to stick to this cars body. I found out that the owner for years used
pledge on the paint to make it shine. It contaminated the finish including
the underlying steel. I had to have it acid dipped before I could get
anything to stick to it. Use anything other than waxes or polishes on your
bird at your own or the future owners risk.

What I'm trying to say is avoid any product containing silicone. After
spending 48 years in the Piano business I can assure you that you will never
be able to repaint a siliconed surface satisfactorily.
I found the same thing to be true, when I used to paint cars. The wet
paint would have hundreds of little 'fish eyes' in it. If you use a product
from the local paint shop, called Fish Eyes (comes in a small brown bottle)
it eliminates the problem. It's a small bottle with an eye dropper in it.
You use one eyedropper full for each quart of mixed paint. Put it in right
before you're ready to spray, and mix well.

I found this site that has a pietenpol for MS Flight Simulator 2004. I have already downloaded a Piet for FS 98, but I'm afraid I've become a little spoiled by FS 2004. Has anyone tried this file? Here is the site: http://windrfters.com/Stinpage.htm

I was just browsing through the Feb 2005 issue of Model Aviation. On page
90 there is a photo of a Piet that looks like Mike Cuy's.
Is this old news, something I missed earlier? Or news to the group?

If you guys haven't taken a look at Peter's website and construction, it's
well worth it. What a beautiful piece of work! Check out the fuselage
construction- it's classic. Very nice shop practices as well.
Me, I spent a few hours working on repairs to 41CC. Pulled out the old
ignition wiring and pulled in some shielded tefzel wire, in hopes of
eliminating radio noise. Also pulled out the old carb heat control and am
installing a new one. Varnished some of the wood repair parts in
preparation for reassembly of the fuel tank and firewall.
I needed an angle bracket to mount the new carb heat knob. What is really
fun is when you need a bracket or part, just stepping into the shop,
rummaging around to find a piece of wood or metal that looks right, cutting
and grinding/sanding to shape, drilling the holes and countersinks, cleaning
it up, a little paint, and -voila! Hang it up to bake and tomorrow it's
ready to install. I made a bracket for the knob out of a piece of
lightweight angle in the scrap bin, and now I have a nifty piece of an
airplane. I love this experimental homebuilding stuff. Makes you feel
sorry for the spam can guys who have to pay $$ for a TSO label on each part.

How about Carnuba Was (sp?) ? I don't think it has silicone. Does anyone
know of this, or any other wax, that Does Not have Silicone ?

Ben,
We're using it on a flight sim at the museum I work at in Wichita, KS --
we've done a 1934 vs 2004 Wichita Airport setup with (2) sims side-by-side
(not really "right" (WWBD??) 'cause the default flying field for the Piet is
in West Virginia!! and the Piet has a 2 piece wing with a cutout -- nice
engine sounds though!! ;-)
Careful, it will keep you out of the shop!

Greg / Dale - Congratulations! If you need any ground support let me know and
I'd be glad to help out. I know the weather around here has been so unpredictable
lately...
Good luck and may the force be with you.
