I see Minwax also has water based poly's as well. Anyone know what the difference is, if any? For the price and convenience, I am ready to pick up some Minwax rath er then order the Stewart's. If this is a big mistake and will lead to issu es later, I would like to know now, rather then later. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:04:22 AM PST US From: "GR Hewitt" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re Tail dimensions The dimensions for the various parts which the rudder attaches to do not add up If you build the fin & fuse according to the plans, then the rudder will hang down below the bottom of the fuse by around 11/2 inches. Suggest to build the fuse then the fin & then the tail plane , sit the tail plane on top of the fuse, (allow a bit for fabric& any packing) next fit the fin on top of the tail plane, then build the rudder to fit the total distance, I learned this the hard way. Am close to rigging & making lift struts, in order to get the wing exactly at right angles to the fuse C/L, any merit in adjusting the diagonal brace cables in the struts? Am worried that this may put a twist in the wing Or do I have to make a slight adjustment to the diagonal drag struts on the Center Section; I realize that only a very slight adjustment of the drag struts would have a dramatic effect on the wing symmetry. My drags are not adjustable at this stage & are only temporary until I check the Cof G Thanks Graham Hewitt ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:58:04 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Happy Birthday Jim Markle From: "Glenn Thomas" Happy Birthday Jim! -------- Glenn Thomas N????? http://www.flyingwood.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=231247#231247 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:02:32 PM PST US From: Roy Brooks Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Happy Birthday Jim Markle Three cheers for Jim...

From: "carson" Funny this has come up as I have just finished fitting the tail and have been trying to find where I have measured wrong this time. My rudder hungs down about 1/2 inch so I think I will cut it off to be level with the bottom of the fuse.
