I have to caution some of you about Mike Cuy... being a yankee, Sterling issued Mike a "green card" for undocumented aliens. I'll bet he even eats salsa that comes out of a jar and eats tamales with the shuck still on 'em. As to transferring the outline of a wing rib plan to a board or another piece of paper, I used my wife's pattern tracer from her sewing stuff. It looks like a miniature pizza cutter but with little teeth on the rim of the wheel. As you follow the outline of your template, the wheel makes a continuous string of tiny holes. You pull off your template and go over the row of holes with the edge of a pencil to define the line, then get a flexible stick or ship's curve (if you have one) along the edge and fair in a nice true dark line. that's what I did on my Flying Squirrel. I agonized over getting it exact whereas a quick glance at the prototype shows that the designer simply built and flew, with very little concern for exactitude. His flew long ago, mine ain't yet.

I followed Tony Bingelis' advice and made my piano hinges in multiple pieces and would NOT recommend doing it that way - it was a bear getting them to all line up properly and nay binding caused by wing deflection would be no worse than the binding caused by all those little hinges not being perfectly aligned with each other. I also used the expensive extruded hinges and would NOT recommend that either. Too expensive and no benefit over the rolled hinges. Over all, I really like the piano hinge installation since it also seals the gaps between the ailerons and the wing, but if I had it to do over again I would use rolled hinges and make them one-piece.

(GRC-RXD0)[ASRC]" Jack, I cut both ailerons free, sanded the faces smooth then installed the piano hinge and nut plates ala Walt Evan's and others (seen in upper portion of photo along with coiled up aileron cables) using aluminum extruded piano hinge. I believe you could use formed hinges rather than extruded but Bingelis said the extruded ones are more reliable if aileron flutter is encountered. (then again aileron flutter to a Pietenpol is probably about as chancy as having excess rates of climb) I used full-length hinges as I believe it is more difficult to align sections of them so I steered clear of that method---plus if you use the full-span you essentially have a gap-filler there where you make the hinge top/line even with the top of the wing and the aileron eliminating the necessity of putting clear tape or matching fabric tape over that gap to keep the aileron effectiveness up.

(GRC-RXD0)[ASRC]" Dan, Good eyes. That is capstrip material glued the length of the wing ribs to help stabilize the ribs and keep them in position under the forces they experience when you heat taughten your dacron fabric. The standard practice is/was to wrap and then criss-cross inter-rib-lacing tape (like basements have X's in between floor joists ?) to help hold the ribs in place but I'm told that mice like to eat that stuff and it tends to deteriorate over time. Frank Pavliga advised me to simply glue in strips of leftover capstrip material (actually I think I just ordered more to do this job) for this purpose and it worked out great. One additional comment--I was really surprised by all of the creaking and groaning that the wood did as I tightened the fabric with my iron at the three increasingly higher shrink temperatures. Fabric is powerful.

I know nothing else about this engine. -------------------------- This is an estate sale of old aircraft and parts that are up for bid. I saw this engine and thought that perhaps someone might find it to be of interest and perhaps even of use: http://www.dtroneaircraftcollection.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=40 12. Globe Aero engine - "1930", 50 h.p., air-cooled, upright, 4-cylinder; uses many Ford model A parts; no accessories. (A conversation piece) Included is the July 1930 "Aero Digest" article showing photos and drawings and giving performance data and full descriptions of the engine and its parts. A copy of the article in the March 1997 "Experimenter", titled "Light Plane Heritage: Liquid or Air Cooling?" with photos and description of the Globe is also included. Appraised value $1,500. There's a couple of pictures of the engine on the site. It's a four-cylinder, air-cooled engine. It appears to have one magneto and a single updraft carburetor. The rockers are exposed. There's a swing-out engine mount attached. No prop hub is visible. I have no connection to the sale and just happened across the listing.

Denny was a fixture at Brodhead, who passed on in the crash of a Dormoy Bathtub a couple months ago. I had the opportunity to be given a short tour of his collection a number of years back, and it was pretty amazing. I would recommend going to the site and browsing through the items for sale. There are numerous pictures of each item, be it aircraft or engine, and a short history of each as well. There are many one of a kind antique aircraft and engines in there. Pretty neat.
