From: "Glenn Thomas" 2 things I find really handy in my shop that weren't mentioned yet are the shop vac and router. There are also a couple sanding tools that I didn't know if I'd like, but simplified the job of leveling the pieces of wood that union under a gusset. I used them all the time in making my ribs. The router with a laminate trim bit is good for removing gusset overhang. I found that if you make sure you leave a little overhang, then trim it down flush with the router it looks really nice. http://www.flyingwood.com/index.asp?page=12&filter=0 http://www.flyingwood.com/index.asp?page=7&filter=0 Welcome to the list! -------- Glenn Thomas N????? http://www.flyingwood.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=120843#120843 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:21:28 AM PST US From: "Ed G."

I don't get them through the digest version, so if someone could email them to me direct, I'd appreciate it. And I have our EAA Chapter's electronic scales back in our hangar so I can do a final, accurate W&B on 41CC after the repairs. I'll post the results after I do the W&B this weekend. Now on a lighter note... Two cajun hunters get a pilot to fly them to Canada to hunt moose. They bag six. As the two cajuns start loading the plane for the return trip, the pilot advises that the plane can only take four of the moose. The two hunters object strongly. "Last year we shoot six and de pilot let us put dem all on board; he had de same plane as yours. We got to take back all six for to feed ever'body back home." Reluctantly, the pilot gives in and all six are loaded. However, even with full power, the plane can't handle the load and down it goes and crashes in the middle of nowhere. A few moments later, climbing out of the wreckage, Bernard asks Sonnier, "Any idea where we is?" "I tink we pretty dam' close to where we crashed las' year" says Sonnier.

So, just out of curiosity I thought it might be interesting to hear who is planning to attend (flying or driving). I know a few new Piets are planning to be there - I am looking forward to seeing Don Emch's Air Camper "in the flesh", and hopefully Gary and Shad Bell can get their Corvair running reliably in time. Roman Bukolt has said he will be flying his Piet. Don recently said he plans to fly in with Frank Pavliga, and I imagine Bill Rewey will be there.

Greg, Although still working on the fues, I can anticipate a wider wing center section and width of cabanes in addition to changes in the landing gear, struts and metal parts to meet the width at the attachment points. I too am new to the build and am like everyone else learning as I go trying to solve problems as I am able to anticipate them. Working through issues as I encounter them. I am certain there are many more areas impacted by the decision that are not intuitively obvious to the new builder but will certainly be the cause of much gastric distress as I progress. But I will be making a list of challenges and solutions as I encounter them.
