| Subject: | Re: Latex paint class-- aluminum PolySpray no oxide |
I do plan on using Poly brush and some Polyspray on my fuselage after being sure
I have adequate finish on my wings and tail surfaces with what I have on hand.But
part of the Stitts process is using the polybrush to both seal the weave,plus
it has an additive to kill mildew or fungus that might start working on
it and strengthen the material with a plastic type film it builds up-I remember
some tests a long time ago on another list that told how much the strength increased
by using ( I think) something like a layer of pantyhose over a frame
and painting it with several layers of polybrush and putting a load on it.-anyway
I'm not going to suggest painting my wife's or anybody else's wife's pantyhose
to help em hold the load here! I may be dumb but not stupid. but I do plan
on doing at least 3 coats of Stits product on my fuselage and then possibly
paint with some other type of finish.but if the cost difference ins't too huge
and I doubt it will be by then. probably just use Polytone.

Thanks for the replies. The wing is covered both sides (stitching now)
the screws under the fabric are #4 truss heads. I didn't think they
would be so noticeable. Think I will finish as-is -- at any sign of
chafing through I'll remove them all and patch the holes.
Thanks,
Tom Bernie

Is Jimmy Dean on this list!?

Corky,
I would like to do a project like Jimmy Dean, down in Sanford, NC is doing.
Jimmy (who owns a beautiful Ford Model A powered Pietenpol, that sadly needs
a new fabric job) is building an essentially new Waco Ten. He bought a junk
Waco and is using the old parts to make patterns for all new components. He has
finished the fuselage framework, all welded up of brand new 4130 tubing, much
better than the mild steel of the original. He is using the original ribs
to make a jig to build all new ribs. By the time he is finished about the only
original components will be the centerline and the nameplate and serial number,
but that is enough in the FAAs eyes to make it a certificated airplane.
Id like to do something similar, as my retirement project. Then take it and
go barnstorming. You cant go barnstorming in a Pietenpol and charge for rides,
since it is Experimental.

or rebuild an antique like a Travellaire or a Waco
Jack,
This is a thought provoking statement. IF a builder so decided he wanted
to undertake such a project, to actually build one of the above, where would he
or she obtain plans, drawings, spec or whatever. I've often wondered how long
it would take to build the ribs for a Waco Taperwing. Mindbogling. It would
be a worthy retirement project, if one lived long enough
Back in '52 I observed a lonely UPF-7 parked on the far end of Ft Smith airport.
I inquired and the FBO said I could buy it for $ 186. Some jerk came in,
ground looped, damaged the lower left wing tip. Repairs were $186. The guy
had never come back.
Just thinking
Corky

Hey all
I sent off the packet tonight with the checks still in all of your
original envelopes. To date we raised $405. There are still a few more
checks to come in and if you happen to stop by the Wood Shop I would be
glad to take checks there too.
I have attached a copy of the letter that I enclosed with the checks.
After I respond to a couple of e mails I'm packing the computer for the
morning drive to Sun n Fun.
Thanks much
Dick
