I bought one of his double mag set ups and it is on my engine now and working fine so far. I'd very much like to hear what happend as well since my crank driven mag is the same set up.

From: "Egan, John" FILETIME=[A5F6F740:01C599C5] --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Egan, John" May I ask what builders are using for leading edge wing strip material? I need to purchase, fabricate and install a leading edge strip on the wings. Maybe use Sitka, clear pine, a milled 2x4? It seems the densities of Sitka, Pine, Douglas Fir and Cedar seem relatively close. I priced a 14' length of clear pine at a finish dimension of 1" x 3" at about $40 each. The price may come down using shorter pieces, then scarfing the joints? Everything I pick up seems so heavy.

From: "Phillips, Jack" --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Phillips, Jack" I used Sitka Spruce. Expensive, but light and strong. During my forced landing last fall it took out a fence post with nothing but a small dent to show for it.

What??? You mean you haven't seen Mike Cuy's video and details on using a stair handrail for this? One cut and you're done. Or check the archives on 'handrail' and I'll bet you'll find Mike's description of how he did it. No shaping required, just a cut of the prefab railing piece.

This airplane was formerly at another museum, possibly Rio Hondo (TX), and I assume it will be in need of restoration. I need to get out there and see what they have! Anybody know the history of this plane, who built it, anything? Know who might be familiar with this engine and could work on it?

Or you can look in the regular pine bin and pay less for a good hand picked clear piece. I forget how wide the piece was , but when cut on a bevel it took care of both leading edges. After bolting in place I used my little hand plane (no pun) to shape the both leading edges. There is nothing so satisfying as using a sharp plane to bring a piece down to a perfect, uniform size. walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Egan, John" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Leading edge strip material? > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Egan, John" > > May I ask what builders are using for leading edge wing strip material? > I need to purchase, fabricate and install a leading edge strip on the > wings.

The bolts will need to clear the ash cross members.

I answered about the main gear brackets. On the tail post, I used a piece of stainless rod and thru bolted those fittings. That thru bolt then becomes the anchor for my seat belts and sholder harness.
