    <00eb01c5c48d$9532e2a0$6401a8c0@Nick> <003001c5c49a$ea1e9e50$e43032cc@CPQ29466173462> I agree. What you have to ask is, what does this bracket connection do?" One- it locates that corner of the vertical tail system. Two- it helps resist longitudinal drag forces. When you put your foot in it and the rudder turns there is a certain amount of force trying to pull the tail off. You have two brackets, one forward and one aft. There is also the bottom rudder hinge attached directly to the fuselage. On top of this the gussets take most of the load. AND the fabric is pulling it all together, consolidating the whole mess. Oh yeah, the rudder cables are pulling foreward as well! :-) Clif Nick, If you use birch plywood gussets at this joint and make the fittings slightly longer so that the bolt holes don't line up with the joint line, it should be OK as is. Birch plywood, aircraft quality, is very strong and stiff---and the primary strength of the joint is in the gussets, not the butt joint. Just keep the bolt hole(s) away from the joint line. Graham (Pietenpol CF-AUN)

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "RULE, HARVEY" <harvey.rule@bell.ca> Thanks to all for the information on the cockpit entrance door.All very good ideas.I think the simplest and probably the easiest to install is the spring tape method with the sawed off screw lining up with the hole in the spring tape upon closing.Light,simple,easy in every way.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Ben Charvet <bcharvet@bellsouth.net> Hi all, I've had a few days off, and my wife's been out of town. Its amazing how much you can get done if your work or private life doesn't interfere. I put some epoxy varnish over the floor of my fuselage so I could get in and out without getting it dirty. The okoume plywood really looks nice with some varnish on it. Here is the link to my progress so far Ben Charvet Mims Fl, (a lurker without much to say)

    Subject: aileron
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Oscar Zuniga" <taildrags@hotmail.com> Santiago asks- >I need to know the distance (gap) between the aileron first rib and the >wing. >The Sky Scout plans show 1/2". Same for the Air Camper? The Aircamper plans show a wing gap of 3/8" between the aileron spar and the wing, at the hinge line. If you're talking about the end of the aileron, between the rib and the wing, it does not seem to be shown on the Aircamper plans but I assume that most builders would make it the same as the hinge gap, 3/8". So, you are in Argentina? I just watched the movie, "The Motorcycle Diaries" last weekend, about Ernesto 'Che' Guevara's travels from Argentina down through South America in the 1950's. No airplanes in the movie, but the scenery was fabulous (such as Machu Picchu). Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: taildrags@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net
