Subject: | Re: Covering question - drain grommets |
burning holes is fine, and I will probably do it, but keep in mind that
the shape of the grommets creates a kind of venturi that vents the area.
It might do a better job than a mere hole.

Thanks Dan, thats two votes for just burning drain holes and
forgetting the grommets. That sounds good to me.

Rick,
I am a little ahead of you with the Stewart System. I just took a
soldering iron with a blunt round end (I think about 3/16") and burned
right through. Be careful not to go through to the other side. "Measure
twice, burn once." I see no reason to use drain grommets.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Covering question - drain grommets
Am having fun covering my tail pieces using the Stuart systems stuff
(its great not having to breath that stinkin MEK in a closed garage).
Would like opinions about installing drain grommets, seems to be 3 ways
to do it:
1 - Just burn holes in the fabric with a soldering iron.
2 - Glue drain grommets to the fabric
3 - Glue drain grommets to the fabric and cover with a glued on 2"
patch
Also did you burn the hole before or after finish paint?
Thanks
Rick

Subject: | Three Continental A-65 engines for sale |
The last couple of days I talked with Ben Tucker in Spring, TX (north of metro
Houston) at 936.653.5231. He has three Continental A-65-8 engines for sale.
Two are already built up and the third will be after he sells the first two.
The price for each is $3500.
As you likely know, these are the engines that have onlhy magnetosw for an electric
system-- no starter, regulator or gen./alternator. Ben has taken the engines
apart and replaced whatever was needed to get them into specs, whether bearings,
rings, valves, or whatever. He can provide the details.
I have never met Ben, and he is not a licensed A&P, but he was trained as an A&P
mechanic by the air Corps in 1945, and has worked on engines ever since, rebuilding
many engines, building many experimentals, and rebuilding many commercially
built aircraft. He certainly impressed me with his autheniticity, over
the phone.
I suggest that if you are interested in such an engine and do not yet have one,
to give Ben a call. He can fill you in details. He doesn't do the Internet
or email.

>From the diary of Orville Wright
Monday, November 23rd, 1903
Kitty Hawk, N.C.
Completed rails for starting machine. Found that truck loaded to 270 lbs.
would run down slope of 1 degree, 5 minutes. Each took two trips with tra
ck laid on 11 degree slope of Big Hill. Time 4 2/5 sec. Attached wires to
cradle for operating tips. Pressure required for changing tips12 degrees
is 14 lbs. Tested amt. of gasoline used when running screws at 350, which
was found to be 1 gal. in 45 min. or the amount held by tank, 3 lbs. 3 oz
., in 18 min. Wind changed this afternoon from west to south and is blowin
g 8 or 9 meters.
"Our track for starting the machine (total cost about $4.00) amused Mr. Ch
anute considerably, as Langley is said to have spent nearly $50,000.00 on
starting device which failed in the end to give a proper start, he claims
. At least this is the reason he gives for the failure last month" (Wilbur
Wright to his father and sister, Nov. 23, 1903)

Sure is purty. Looks like it could be either an alter or a urinal. Waaay
too pretty to be a lowly step.

I put a nice retractable step on mine, but it is easier to just throw a
leg over than to use the step... but I hope to still be flying when I'm
unable to throw the leg over and then I'll have the step to help me
along. :-)
