      Penetrating Oils Compared
      
      
      Machinist's Workshop magazine tested various penetrants for break-
      out torque on rusted nuts. Significant results! They arranged a subjective
      test of all the popular penetrants=2C with the control being the torque
      required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment.
      
      Penetrating oil .....   Average load
      
      None .....................   516 pounds
      
      WD-40 ..................  238 pounds
      
      PB Blaster ............. 214 pounds
      
      Liquid Wrench ...... 127 pounds
      
      Kano Kroil ............ 106 pounds
      
      ATF-Acetone mix... 53 pounds
      
      The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic
      transmission fluid and acetone.
      
      Note that the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this
      one particular test. A local machinist group has mixed up a batch and all n
      ow
      of them use it with equally good results.
      
      
      Notice also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as good as "Kroil" for about 20% 
      of the price.
      
       This was sent to me by email and I have not verified but am going to try t
      he homemade mix myself.

      Penetrating Oils Compared
      
      
      Machinist's Workshop magazine tested various penetrants for break-
      out torque on rusted nuts. Significant results! They arranged a subjective
      test of all the popular penetrants=2C with the control being the torque
      required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment.
      
      Penetrating oil .....   Average load
      
      None .....................   516 pounds
      
      WD-40 ..................  238 pounds
      
      PB Blaster ............. 214 pounds
      
      Liquid Wrench ...... 127 pounds
      
      Kano Kroil ............ 106 pounds
      
      ATF-Acetone mix... 53 pounds
      
      The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic
      transmission fluid and acetone.
      
      Note that the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this
      one particular test. A local machinist group has mixed up a batch and all n
      ow
      of them use it with equally good results.
      
      
      Notice also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as good as "Kroil" for about 20% 
      of the price.
      
       This was sent to me by email and I have not verified but am going to try t
      he homemade mix myself.

      A little trick I learned when working with some guys that cut aluminum was 
      to put the blade of the skill saw in backwards when cutting .The blade won'

      Welcome to the list.  Where are you located?  Perhaps there
      is a builder near you who can help with reading the drawings.
      Better, perhaps there is a Piet that you can go look at to
      take photos and compare the dimensions in the drawings to
      what an actual airplane looks like.
      
      There are only a few discrepancies in the plans, and once
      you begin to build, it will be obvious that something does
      not add up.

      ~3000 AC nails + tack hammer + spar varnish = leave them in forever. 
      
      There are ~9000 1/4" nails in a pound.  I purchased 1# of 3 different sizes (1/4",
      1/2" and 3/4") AC nails.  If I use all of them I won't be too disappointed
      about the weight they contributed, but I doubt that I'll even need half of them.
      
      
      Perhaps it is about the additional work required to drive all those nails?  It
      sounds worse than it is.  With a good tack hammer, a pair of needle nosed pliers
      and a little practice it becomes a simple task... any extra time spent driving
      those nails is partially made up by not having to remove them.
      
      Just my two cents.  I'm sure that the staple method is pretty straightforward,
      I've just never tried it.

      I saw aluminum 1/8"   up to 1" with a 10" 80 tooth carbide blade on my table saw
      and for thinner stuff I use the band saw with whatever blade is on it.  I have
      a little air nibbler that works pretty good on less than 0.060". The table
      saw  cuts 0.060" if you just barely have the teeth up enough to cut through. A
      cap, face shield with goggles behind, and skin covered up as the chips fly and
      are pretty warm! The cut is really good..very little deburring.

      Additionally, aluminum is very much like working with wood. In fact, many
      woods are harder than aluminum!! Routers, saws, sanders...all work good on
      aluminum.

      Gents- As embarrassing as it is to admit.....I have a Corvair engine in my 
      hangar. To retain my "Pietenpol Elitist" persona, I am coming out of the closet
      
      and at the same time ridding myself of this disgraceful temptation.
      
      I got it several years ago in a weak moment and had the heads and crank redone.
      
      It's been plastic wrapped and boxed up since about 2004 so I don't recall all 
      the details. What I do have written on the box is:
      Block-GM 3819615
      Heads-3878569
      Crank-GMT 22B 8409
      
      I also have William Wynn's conversion manual and all the parts that came with 
      the engine when I pulled it. It is all there, apart, cleaned and stored.
      
      I was approached by a Corvair car guy this week trying to scrounge the engine so
      
      he could resell it but I thought I'd poll the listers first to see if it might
      
      be needed by one of you who might be yearning for a "Snapper". So.....anyone out
      
      there need a Corvair? What's your bid?

      Gene,
      
      The Mouse Oil is for giving them a massage before milking them. They 
      produce much more once they are relaxed. I always give my exhaust nuts a 
      splash of Mouse Milk through a tube before even trying to loosen them.

      Gotta get the heads off and the pistons out. If so, you stand a chance.

      the airport, anyhow? They should be over at the NAPA Auto Parts parking lot
      at the mini car show.
      
      
      Would you like me to post your treasure on the Corvair List?

      Drained the oil and took the oil pan off.  I pulled the plugs and spun the engine
      360 degrees.  I found water in two cylinders.  I sprayed everything down with
      pb blaster and poured some marvel mystery oil into the cylinders.  I'll let
      that sit for a while and rotate the engine every few days
      at 90 degrees to get the oil all around.  I removed some of corrosion with a wire
      brush and found just some slight pitting on the cast parts.  I don't know how
      critical that is.  I've got plenty of time to break this engine loose and get
      it apart.

      OK, the Pietenpols are old tech, as are horse drawn buggies. Now if we 
      can work a buggy whip into the crank-snappin' Corvairs, we could be the 
      Whipper Snapping Corvair Cranks.
      
      Boy, that didn't look as good as I thought it wold sound. Back to work.

      I've got one of those rusty, no-crank-turning cores in the hangar. It 
      will make a great coffee table base or lawn ornament. For $125 there 
      might be some exchangeable core cylinders or other parts.

      Hello
      Nice to meet you Oscar; I remember you from your Squirrel page; and your Spanish
      name and surename. 
      I am from Uruguay, and unfortunetly there is not any piet around in the country,
      at least any known. The experimental, and ultralight universe here is small
      and (I do not know why) very closed. I am a kind of crazy people just because
      I plan to build an airplane ( I know, its a not common thing to do) , but is the
      only way I have to fly, any ultralight si very expensive, so why not build
      one?.
      
      I decide to build this because it is enterely of wood, and this is the only aircraft
      material I can find here; aluminium 6061 do not exist, may be in Brazil,
      or Argentine, but to expendive. so the options where two, a Piet or a SkyPup.
      We chose the Piet. But the plans are... a guide, not real plans; lost mesures,
      not very clear drawings, may be incomplete, or with differences in mesures from
      one poijnt of view to another. The wing profile ... why not a simple cad file?.
      
      Thank for your words about "obvious".. ;0)  I think a lot of things may come from
      one, they are not very difficult to resolv; but is an airplane, not a boat,
      so I prefer to be a little more sure on the things I will do.
      
      Thank you Oscar, I hope have something done in few weeks. here is the state of it now http://vgmk1.blogspot.com/   ;0)
      
      Regards.

      Hi Mario,
      
      The plans are actually pretty darn complete, especially for something drawn
      up by relative amateurs 80 years ago. If you are confused by a particular
      part of a drawing you can certainly ask here, and there are many
      knowledgable, experienced builders who can help...but I think you will also
      find that if you just study the plans a bit more you will often find the
      answer. In many places that plans do not duplicate information between
      different views of part of the structure. If you are looking at a top view
      and can't find dimensions for a certain piece, odds are they were already
      given on the side view or the bottom view, for example.
      
      As far as the wing profile (I assume you mean wing rib), there's no CAD file
      because CAD did not exist when the plans were drawn up. It's not terribly
      difficult to loft the dimensions on to a board to start your jig. There is
      an error in one of those measurements, but it is obvious and you will see
      it, and you can correct it. Or, for $20 more you can buy a full size rib jig
      print and just secure that to your jig board and build on top of that.
      
      Have fun!
      
      Ryan
