Not to much different than the way I did it, however when I brought the
joint together they needed additional adjustment and fine tuning. I lightly
clamped a file between both halves and by filing between the two mating surfaces
I
was able to create a matched joint at the top and bottom of the tail post.
Following that they mated up pretty well. The file acted like a straight edge
between the mating surfaces and removed the same amount of material from
both sides at the same time.
I was not at all satisfied with the mating of the surfaces following the
first set of cuts and was forced to devise a method that would provide a
straighter consistent angle to glue. Just a little trick improved the cuts to
match
up better and with less guess work in the trial and error category of
experience.

I simply used one piece of wood for the tail post. Glued it in when I
brought the sides together. I remember using 8" wood clamps on the top
and bottom longerons to draw them together. The wood clamps are
infinitely adjustable at any angle. Making two tailposts line up seems
like lots of extra work.

| Subject: | Magnetic Rib Clamping |
I was at Airventure this year, and was watching a gentleman make a wooden rib.
I have seen allot of others building ribs and then using all sorts of clamps
to hold the gussets in place while glueing. Like intricate clamps to pvc pipe...to
all sorts of clamping devices. The gentleman I spoke to said I might try
using countersunk Neodyium magnets that sandwich the gussets and joints to be
glued together, so I ordered some today. I plan on countersinking them into my
Rib plans board, flush with the top..
I finished my rib board yesterday,but will have to redoo it once the magnets arrive.
Has anyone else done this..?
I want to spend more time building ribs rather than clamping devices.
Here is the link, I found them at.. I only bought the 3 lb pull, but might have
to get a heavier ones.

We used a converted boat trailer. Worked fine, but the wheels were so far back
we almost had a mishap when we tried to load the plane engine first.
Dick came up with the idea for the A-frame for the wings, that worked really well.

Thanks to some great helpers at Brodhead, we assembled my Piet out of the trailer,
in just over an hour, including the tail. My tail was also too wide to go
in. I built a carpeted pallet to hold it. I padded the walls and stood wings
up, leading edge down.
Make sure there are plenty of places to tie off to.
Maybe Skip Gadd can weigh in on trailing across country with a flat bed trailer,
he did that last year.

I've made a deal on a project in New Mexico. Now I need to get it to the big town
of Midland Ontario. I thought perhaps I could ride my motorcycle and bring
them both back in a Uhaul but a Piet is is quit long. (200 inches including mount
by the plans) and would require a huge truck. Any clever ideas? Does any
one know what a container might cost?
