Alright! Lets carry this to it's obvious conclusion.

Once you have one end flattened clamp a length of straight
wood to it. Line that up with the vise jaws by eye.
I didn't just squeeze away with the vise itself. I rounded off
one edge on each of two lengths of hard Ash. Stuck them in
the vise and squeezed the tube between them. That way you
get an easy transition from round to flat.
This won't get you to perfect flatness. At this point I carefully
hammered the rest of the way over the horn of my anvil.

I had the same problem, Chris. The only way I found was trial and error
(mostly error). I think I made 3 of each by the time I was through. As
I recall, the second bend always tended to be about 10 degrees off where
I thought it would be.

Anyone have a good method to ensure the squished ends of the spreader
bars
(wood gear), rudder bar, and tube connecting the sticks are in the same
plane (or parallel or however you would describe it). I can squish them
just fine. I just cant seem to get both end in the same plane. Any
suggestions?

Tom,
Personally I don't like the idea of wood screws holding on the horizontal
stab. I used 3/16 bolts all the way through the longerons. No way those will
pull out. I kid around about worshiping at the alter of BHP, but I do
compromise on certain things. One of these is the Ford A engine. I am going to
have two mags with 8 plugs, along with the Weber carb (recommended by Douwe from
this list). I also had the Ford A modernized with the hardened valve seats,
modern valves, pistons, counterweighted crank ,and modern bearings. I want
a good reliable powerplant. My motivation is thinking ahead about giving my
grandchildren rides.

going through the top longerons and into nutplates. Besides, have you

I am so glad you responded to my post, because up till now I was going to
use regular nuts on those horizontal stab bolts, until I asked myself "I

going to get TO the nuts or remove the stab if you have to dummy? !!"

Well, you could use regular nuts but you would need to have inspection
ports on the side of the fuselage to be able to access the nuts for
stabilizer installation.

Hi Chuck,
I've a lot to learn, but 110lbs seems like a very impressive number. Started thinking
of numerous questions to ask, but did a google search of NX770CG first.
Thanks for putting together an excellent website. The page showing wing construction
was extremely informative. That did more to counter my "aluminum" musings
than anything else.
You have a beautiful plane,
Gene
BTW: Had some nice days in PA this week and had my motorcycle out for the first
time this year. As I was riding I was thinking "OK, would an AirCamper be like
the bike, and a Sonex, or 601 more like my car?" When not actually travelling
anywhere, and the weather is nice, the car sits in the garage. :D

What keeps this bolt from backing out from continued vibration, over time, from
either a Tinneman nut or a "Home Depot speednut"?
Do you put a lock or star washer on the bolt (at the top of the HStab), use Loc-tite
on its threads, or what?

I used a locking nutplate attached to the bottom of the top longeron.
It's pretty easy to see if the bolts are getting loose (mine have never
loosened in nearly 100 hours of flight), since it is right on top of the
stabilizer and available for easy inspection during the preflight.

Hi All,
I think it was last year there was a thread on this list addressing the
testing of alternative paints other than the expensive aircraft finishes. There
was an interesting article in this month's Brodhead Piet newsletter about
this subject, where the writer suggested the use of KILZ primer and then
water-based acrylic enamel I believe (I don't have the article in front of me).
Does anyone have some current feedback on their test panels or currently flying
airplanes?

what I am going to use, no polybrush or polyspray or poly$$$$, just polytac

Dan,
Thanks for the reminder.
I made up a couple of test panels almost a year ago, coated only with
latex primer and paint, and then promptly forgot to put one outside for
weather testing. They're both sitting in my house. I've got to make up
some kind of holder and put that thing outside. Here's a link to my test
panels:

Hey Bill: If you want to accelerate your weather testing I can bring your
panel with me on my next layover to St John's Newfoundland and leave it
stuck up in a tree along the coastline. If it survives a year there it'll
be good for about ten years anywhere else!

The ultralight world is using this paint quite frequently on their
aircraft builds and it works fine either rolled on or sprayed and they
have been leaving their aircraft outside for years with no adverse

Scott,
If you can figure out how to get it to stay up in the tree, I'll award
you some bonus points.
I lived in Newfoundland for a few years (in my youth) and I can attest
that that place definitely gets some extreme weather.

Scott,
If you can figure out how to get it to stay up in the tree, I'll award you
some bonus points.

Bill,
True enough. My last approach and landing in Torbay had the wind at 35
gusting 55 Kts quartering to any runway in heavy rain. Now that would be
just as much a test of the latex paint as it was of my aircraft handling
abilities... Fortunately in an Embraer and not a Pietenpol.

Gene,
I think you'll really like how the prop does for you. Ed Sterba is a class act
guy! Chris, I'm gonna try to escape out to the strip this evening to take some
pictures. We just had our fourth baby on Monday, so things are a little hectic
around here! Really enjoying it though!!! Mom and baby are healthy, so
everything is good!

I like to call myself a strong Pietenpol follower too. But I know of a very popular
Piet with screws holding the stabilizer down and they worked loose. I think
the holes eventually stripped in the wood. The owner fixed the problem,
and I don't think it's an issue anymore. I used through bolts on the stabilizer
"spar" holes and placed an ispection hole and cover on the bottom side of the
fuselage so I can reach up in there and hold the nut with my fingers. You
have to lay on the ground to see the cover. Not much of a change, but lots more
piece of mind!!

Leon
My engine cowling is done in Imron epoxy. The bridge decks are done in
house paint. I first primed with Zinc Chromate primer, then 2 coats of
paint.

RE: Pietenpol-List: Alternative fabric paintA little update from our RAA
forum, Canucks.
McMaster Carr is no longer selling outside the
US except certain companies. Apparently they
have had their wrists slapped for selling to
"inappropriate individuals" in "Inappropriate
countries". ????? Their answer to the problem?
Don't sell to anybody.
Apparently these guys are good though;

BIG TREE country here on the wetcoast. :-)
