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.

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?

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? ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:29:22 PM PST US From: "Oscar Zuniga" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Peter Johnson's Piet --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Oscar Zuniga" Peter wrote- >Check out http://www.cpc-world.com 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! Mike C.
