Having broken off my share of ATV hand brake handles when I was kid, I
would definitely consider not using these for heel brakes. It
shouldn't be too hard to construct something a bit more sturdy. I like
the rest of it, though.

You know at first I would go to Brodhead just to measure other Pietenpols,
take photos, document
things I wanted to incorporate into my airplane but now it is really fun ju
st getting to meet face to
face with the folks on the list like Jim Markle did over dinner with Harvey
Rule yesterday. Great stuff.
You really don't know a person fully just from the list-it really completes
the picture when you get
to meet them in person.
Some of my best friends I've met thru the list then in bumming around with
them at Brodhead. Sometimes
we don't even look at the airplanes but solve world issues and do manly thi
ngs like have gas and burp and partake.

"Built from 1936 plans", bah-! Did they think we just

of a skid, or what? That's not built to BHP's plans!

When Jim was in Cleveburg a few months ago we rode around to all the little
airports around here and by
the time we were done (we intended to go out for dinner as well) it was so
late that Jim had to get back to
his hotel in time to get some sleep so he could teach his class/seminar the
next morning-but we had fun, just
hungry late.
We ended up talking Ford 8N tractors with one local airport owner, Herb Rah
aus. You never know what kind of
fun you're going to have bumming around with airplane and tractor people.

I once had a bird hit me in a flexwing. Put a hole in the fabric and
left feathers on the carbs then went into the prop ( a pusher) I saw it
flying up toward me from a thermal created by an asphalt plant right
below crosswind in the pattern at BCV. Scared the peewaden out of me
because it made a loud pop when it hit the wing.
Birds are a danger we need to heed.

I ran the semi-triangular TE piece throught the table saw a couple times to make
a tongue (as in: Tongue and Groove).
Then used a biscuit joiner (could have used the table saw) to cut grooves in the
ribs at the TE.
Epoxied the TE tongue into the slots in the ribs. Then ran a router with a flush
trim bit across the tongue areas between each rib to remove the unused wood.
Worked well and was simple and strong.

I figured yours would be pretty much to plans. The only thing that made me
question it was pictures of some of the ribs people have been makin'. I'm
kind of an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kind of guy. Mine will be to

| Subject: | Re: Trailing Edge |
Just to throw another thought out there, I am about to attach my
trailing edge like Mike did (except that I made mine out of ripped up
pieces of Stearman spars) but I think I am going to use popsicle sticks
instead of plywood to attach it (the wide ones, from a craft store).
They are a bit thinner than most of the ply I have on hand and they are
good and strong and very easy to work with, almost no cutting -- just
cut them in half and bevel the edges. Besides, most old wings I have
taken apart have had the plywood delaminating long before the solid wood
has deteriorated.
anyone else done this??

Well, funny you should mention that. Back when I had ready access to
some really good trout streams I did tie flies & REALLY grossed out
my wife more than once by not only identifying the hapless critter on
the side of the raod, but stopping and collecting it as well (but
honey, it's a Red Fox!)
Anyway, based on a higher res picture that Bill sent me off list, I'd
say this particular poor bas***d was a Harlan's Red Tail Hawk, who
had to learn to fly on only his left wing real fast.

| Subject: | Re: Trailing Edge |
Great thread... I have been contemplating this very subject myself for several
days. Thanks for the illustrations Mike, and the photos Jim.
I like the idea of the wide popsicle sticks... I have a box of 500 of those that
I bought for mixing glue. Way more than I need, plus I like the smaller ones
for most stuff.
I also like the tongue in grove method, which is what I originally planned to do,
and still might. My biggest problem at the moment is that I left my ribs (top
and bottom caps) too long at the trailing edge. I built them according to
the rib drawing, but I didn't realize that I was supposed to trim the excess
until I started looking at other parts of the plan, and now those suspicions are
confirmed in Jim's photos.
Looks like I get to slide the ribs back off the spars for a trim (bummer). I wonder
if I could just shoot a laser down the length and trim them with an exacto
saw?

Good idea. BUT. Those things are cut anywhichway so I would test each
one
for short runout by breaking the "other half".

I think I am going to use popsicle sticks instead of plywood to attach
it (the wide ones, from a craft store). anyone else done this??
