Graham,
You need something that will work with the covering system. I used poly
fibre to cover so I used Wattyl Estapol for the varnish. Seems to be MEK
resistant.

Jeff,
This happened to me also. Just heat it up gently with a heat gun and it goes
back to normal.

I put it in the microwave and that works great to "un-crystallize", with the
caution that you don't want to overheat it. If you do, the liquid is so
runny that it becomes difficult to meter it out.

Just a question;wouldn't the microwave cause the glue to change it's
molecular properties and the glue change in such a way that it wouldn't
have the same power.Just wondering here.

Harvey; as far as I know, there is no chemical change happening when I
microwave the epoxy component that has crystallized. The microwave energy
only acts to heat up the material just like it does to a soy burger when you
pop it in and beep it.

Group,
It doesn't seem to affect the T-88 resin (the white stuff)
when it is heated to return it to a liquid state. I have some T-88 I bought
back in the 1980's, and I have re-heated the resin perhaps ten times since
then. For some time I have used it for non-aircraft applications and would
not hesitate to use it on aircraft because it has always proved to be
reliable when joining both hard and soft woods used in other projects.
Granulation of the resin component is very similar to what can happen to
honey after a time, and it can be liquified in exactly the same way: by
heating the container. (I'd be a bit hesitant about using the microwave for
this and have always placed the container in a pot of hot water.)

About the heating of t-88..I remember reading that somewhere in some literature
that came with the glue, on the box or somewhere, but it WAS from the manufacturer.
The newest batch I ordered didn't have that info with it, or I droped
the pamphlet somewhere. But it stated "May crystalize below 40deg F. .......It
is harmless and can be heated in a pot of hot water to get rid of the haziness......"
Any way it worked good for me, I just used hot tap water, in a 2
Qt butter tub and let it sit in there for 20 min or so. I don't claim to be an
expert, but, I would NOT use a microwave oven for this task. I have seen guys
at work (for the airlines) put pro-seal (a 2 part sealant) in the microwave
to heat it for a faster cure time, and some times it will bake the sealant hard
as a rock in 10 seconds, with out even mixing in the catalyst. And the real
bad thing is if and when the pressure builds up inside the bottles of glue
they will explode all over the inside of your
microwave (unless you take the lid off), rendering it useless for cooking food,
as epoxy is very poisionous, hard to clean thuroughly ,and does't taste very
good on popcorn. Just remember to bring that glue in side for the winter.

Hi,
I am new to this forum and am building a pietenpol in NC. It has the
original jenny type landing gear. I need advice on what size bungee
cord and how much to order. Also, how many turns to take around the
axle. I also would like information about weight and balance limits
on the airplane.

Order 25 ft of 1/2" bungee. That will give you more than enough for both
sides. You will need 4 wraps and you will have to play with it to give the
right tension. Don't cut off the excess till you are really sure it's on
for the last time. Having extra cord will save the back of the person doing
the pulling.

Don,
You probably already realize that weight and balance is a term relative to
the where the weight balances within the wing chord. Bernard Pietenpol said it
should be between 1/4 and 1/3 of the wing chord. The chord is 60", therefore,
the limits are between 15" and 20" behind the leading edge of the wing. I
have all the loading configurations for my airplane listed on at the bottom of
this page of my web site:
