(GRC-RXD0)[ASRC]" Skip, group, The yellow 'Piet' was a mish-mash of most everything except Pietenpol. Actually nothing was Pietenpol that I could see. The only thing close was the fuselage and that was all GN-1. The airplane was a lead sled with more crap and weight than you could imagine. It looked pretty but other than that you had to have two very skinny people in there for it to clear the soybean field at the north end of the runway there. A young couple from IN flew it in and I spoke with him briefly. He told me that the owner/builder never has flown it but lets this younger guy fly it quite often.

In other words, Make sure the depth of the counter sink doesn't go completly through the thickness of the hinge. It will wear out the holes and can cause cracks, and leaves the material connection weak espesially in tension. Dont worry too much about having the screws flush with the pianno hinge, the bolt heads on the aileron horn stick out any way.
