In addition, you can use a 1/4 inch chuck with a hexagonal spline. The spline will
fit into the flexible shaft extension. Keyless chucks are available at Home
Depot for only $4.50.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Leading edge material
That's a good start. Now go get a long bit. It will be bendy.
The block will hold it straight and the length between the drill
and the block can be bent by holding the drill at the required
angle to force an arc in the shaft.
I've got 3/16" and 1/4" ones 12" long
Another option would be those bits with 1/4" hex ends. Plug
that into one of those bendable screwdriver extensions.

Just a thought, Tomhave you tried drilling a hole (same size) thru a block of Oak
(at least 1 thick), clamp hard to the frame, and maybe it will hold the bit
where you want it? You may have to start with a small hole (same set-up) and
increase to your size.
Im using that method on all my holes for the metal fittings on the fuse.

Subject: | Jack P's idea for LE |
I just read how you did your LE Jack. Nice. You used a 1" x 2" piece
of sitka (pieces) and made two angled cuts then
shaped up with a plane.
Did you shape it in place ? Here I am 10 years flying behind me and
I'm still leering neat ideas about how guys have done things.

PS-- for those of you who haven't met Jack....don't believe a word he
says. He's a four-flusher, a rabble-rouser, a southern rebel,
and an infidel. He also happens to be a great friend.

NX18235 used redwood for the trailing edge also.
Used a biscuit jointer to cut a slot in the ribs and a table saw to cut a slot
in the trailing edge.
Cut the biscuit in half and glue it in the slot and the rib.
You end up with a gussit like joint very strong.

Subject: | 'twas three weeks before Christmas |
Beautiful day at the airport and I had work to do. Jacked up the starboard side
and installed a new tire and tube, noticed the brake was a bit draggy on that side
so I disassembled, cleaned, refilled, and bled it. Changed the engine oil, then
went out to test-fly. Made three of the best landings I've ever made in the airplane.
Landing No. 4 stunk, however ;o) Funny how that confidence thing goes to your
head.
Zero wind, I could make nice sweeping approaches with very little effort, roll
out right on the numbers with about 50-52 MPH on the nose and no drifting off
the centerline, and hardly
even notice when the mains touched. The problem with landing no. 4 was that I
let it
get too slow (about 47-48 MPH while still a few feet off the runway).
Checked the prop tracking since I had noticed a very tiny vibration after
retorquing the prop bolts a week ago. Sure enough, one blade was 1/16"
out from the other. I was surprised that it could make that much of a
detectable buzz in the pilot's seat at cruise power.
There is nothing Santa could bring me that would be more fun than this airplane!

What! Haven't you seen those chainsaw carvers?
Going all the way down to 2000grit is a little excessive though. :-)

You know that black box that is used on airplanes?
Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

Sherwin Williams SuperPaint High Gloss if I remember right. I went to chec
k the cans, but I think my wife threw them away recently. I put that infor
mation in the archives long ago. Search on Sherwin Williams and you should
find it. I remember thinking that paying 20 dollars for a gallon of house
paint sure sounded like a rip-off. It was still a deal however when Aerot
hane was 4x the cost. Not sure what it is now. In any case, I think that
any top quality name brand would work just as well. I wouldn't go with Wal
*mart though.
Best of luck
