Since you are building an experimental aircraft you are not limited to just that adhesive. Epoxies are commonly used, with T-88 and West Systems epoxies being popular. You could use something like Raka epoxy, but that epoxy requires a very complicated testing process for joint strength involving soaking, burning, smashing, and tractor weights.....it's outlined in the archives. ;) Resorcinol or epoxies both work well and strong, beautiful Piets have been built with both. > > 3).

Despite the arguable "watering down" of the organization over the years they are still the go-to resource for homebuilders. Avail yourself of the Tech Counselor program (there is at least one in Brodhead). There's a fair amount of information on the website in the Members area, including the entire Sport Aviation archives. Join a local EAA chapter; 431 at Brodhead is a good one. > 4).

I have kept my eye on ebay for the past few months and not much > has popped up there. > Barnstormers.com can be a good free classified resource. We found a low-time A-65 there for a decent price. Also, as mentioned above, join the local EAA chapter. Attend meetings, get to know people and get known...many times there is stuff available locally that you can find through word of mouth. Don't rush into buying an engine just because it's available; make sure it's a good buy. While the "want" may be great, the "need" is most likely quite a ways off since you haven't even begun to build yet. Additionally, there are a fair amount of A-65s in circulation...it's not like you're searching for a Lenape Papoose to power your Piet. If you keep your eyes and ears open you'll find a good candidate before you actually have the need for it. Enjoy your honeymoon. If your flight to Italy happens to take you over New Brunswick, Canada make sure and give a wave and shed a tear for a fellow lover of the blue who's loved ones have tragically mixed up priorities....

To answer your questions: Mike Cuy does still sell his videos. Most guys seem to us T-88 epoxy. Some use West Systems but it is much thinner and runs a lot. Resourcinol is a great old standby if you keep your joints tight. There are certainly others but these seem to be the biggies Call your local FAA office and track down your areas inspector and contact him/her. They tend to be very helpful and appreciate advance contact. They can send you their guidelines and paperwork. Basically however, keep lots of documentation to prove you actually did the work yourself, and keep your receipts to show what materials you used. I didn't have to show any of these things, but each inspector is different. It really is a pretty simple process. No inspection is required until you're finished. There are a lot of engine parts on barnstormers.com and always ck out other type websites like flybaby and luscombe etc. Good luck!

Majority opinion - no need for it with TIG. Best way to answer the question for yourself is to do multiple tests welding identical parts with and without (kind of like gluing wood samples to test your epoxy). And do destructive testing. I did this in welding class to prove to myself stress relieving is not needed (and to prove my own welding capabilities to myself). rick On Tue, Jul 13, 2010 at 11:41 AM, Douwe Blumberg < douweblumberg@earthlink.net> wrote: > douweblumberg@earthlink.net> > > Hey, > > I am about to Tig weld my new continental engine mount.

The area is quite pretty, I am sure, and Jack, unlike you or I, he is in our home state, Tennessee. (Of course Smith Mountain Lake and the Blue Ridge ain't shabby.) God bless you all.

We have been looking for a place where my wife could have a horse and I my airplanes. We found this place on Barnstormers. The airstrip was done, but no buildings. do not archive Dan Helsper Poplar Grove, IL. -----Original Message----- From: shad bell Sent: Tue, Jul 13, 2010 8:00 pm Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Slightly on topic- Pietenpol hangar construction in TN Dan, Are you moving out of Poplar Grove?

This is likely NOT a good time for a visit, for he will be leaving at the end of the week for WI. His is a good model for you, though, a classic and well done. I have a project in my garage a couple exits south of the airport exit-- 4 miles by air, 11 by ground-- off Hwy. 29 west of Georgetown. I'd be happy to show it to you. There is a completed Piet at the Waco chapter's (EAA 59) hangar, McGregor (belonging to Boyce Hardiman). You may whish to check out their Saturday breakfasts and either fly up or drive to see it. There is also a completed Piet I have never seen, belonging to Kevin McDonald, as I recall, at Kittie Hill airport. He has begun flying it again after a long lapse, as I understand. Pls reply.
