Dick,
I mailed a check yesterday, but you may not get it in time. It takes our mail
a while to get anywhere-- first it goes by mule to Waco, then heads farther north.

I say use the heck out of it, Latex will probably last as long as poly woly big
bucks. It will at least last as long as you will want it to. I would say recovering
in 20-25 years is probably a smart thing to do, even if for none other
than a very good inspection of the structure. For you folks who don't like
the toxicity of MEK based poly tack, brush and what not, dad used a water based
fabric cement called Ceco-Bond. You just mix with water and brush on. to seal
the fabric you dilute it with more water and brush it over the whole surface.
It is an approved product on some older airplanes like cubs and champs via
STC. Don't get me wrong poly fiber is a GREAT system, it will work great. But
if your building for GO and not SHOW and still want a good looking final product
use the latex, and save that money for gas and hanger rent. Heck, I would
bet Bernnie did not use top dollar aircraft dope on his. Probably used old
barn paint or whatever he had. (maybe thats why
they were red?)
Just my 2 cents

Totally agree, the latex on my house has been exposed (unhangered) to direct
Colorado sunlight at 6500 ft. for 11 years and it looks no different than
the day we moved in (and it was not the higher quality latex either). If I
fly my Piet 100 hours a year and hanger it the rest of the time it would
take 482 years to get the same direct sunlight exposure time, and I don't
plan on needing to repaint anytime soon.

I had to add .com to the www.simplicity link below (to make it
www.simplicityboats.com/latexcarnel.html) but it was well worth it!
VERY interesting article!
Thanks Ted

AMEN to that. Ken really knows what he is doing (and I don't - yet.) Ken
has also come up with a bellcrank design that gets the elevator cable
geometry right. i.e. you don't need a friction control device on top of
the horizontal stab to keep the cables from rubbing a hole in the
covering. It may not be the way BHP did it but I bet he would have used
it had he seen it.

| Subject: | Re: Tachometer - where do you find one |
Listers:
I am getting very close to having a panel to start designing my
instrument layout. Consequently I need to find the sizes and spacing
requirements for the final layout. I am having a little trouble trying
to figure out where to find a tachometer that looks right for a
Pietenpol but still operates electrically. I remember seeing one on
DJ's website that has a max RPM of 3500 and receives it's signals from a
tooth counter on the flywheel. (I'm also planning to use a Corvair
engine.) The ones William Wynne recommends are digital which I suspect
would get me laughed off the list. Any recommendations would be greatly
appreciated.

Messagemy analog tach was a Datcon. Datcon also makes the tooth counter
which worked quite well.

DJ - I thought you installed an EMS, why did you need a separate tach?
