Swan Secure makes a 1/2" 23 gauge stainless pin nail. I'm still looking for an
online source for them.

Varnishing the pins or staples is not enough. There is enough residual
moisture in the wood to eventually corrode the staples if they are not
coated. Galvanized staples may work though.

Oscar--you're right. My cork and wire float stop floating when I have 1.2 hours
cruise flight remaining.
Had plenty of fuel but thanks for your concern.

Forces are conspiring against my intended Saturday appearance at Copperstate. I
might yet make Friday, if I can push work aside. I'll keep you posted so we can
meet up in case I do make it.

Andrew Eldredge was kind enough to allow me an airplane visit today during my banishment
to AZ. He's reworking the airplane his brother, Steve, built. I didn't
snap to which plane it was until I got there. I've always really liked the
plane. It's well made.
Andrew milled some wood for me so I could continue building ribs for the next project.
We made a BIG mess in his garage with dust, smoke, wood chips and all
sorts of drama. Lots of fun:). He was nice enough to not boot me out afterward.
Anyway, thanks to Andrew and his wonderful family. Nice people. I love project
visits and making new Piet friends.
Jim Boyer: I think Andrew will be at Copperstate. Maybe the three of us can meet
up on Saturday. I'll get with you off-line later this week.

FastenerUSA.com says that they are galvanized. Should last a long time and not
cause too much rusting. I'll give the forum a status update in 25 years when
I recover the Piet. Here is a pic of a box of 5K. :D They are galvanized
a gold color.

The 23ga pins I bought are Paslode brand from Home Depot, and look exactly like
the ones in the photo that Tucker posted. As small as they are, and given that
they will be driven through the uncured T-88 when nailing the gussets in place,
I think that the rusting will be minimal if it even occurs at all.

To the nay sayers of nails.Have you ever wrecked a wood plane?Have you ever seen
whats left of an un nailed plane vs. a nailed plane?The glue doesn't come apart
the plywood delaminates,the nails do do something.They may not hold the plane
together but they will keep it from falling apart.

I would think as long as your glue joints are good you would end up with an even
stronger piece-since any run-out of grain or weak spot is broken by the splicing
of the other piece or pieces.-I expect that is a big advantage of a laminated
prop or a laminated gun stock or Bow.- it tends to strengthen and also limit
warping as I understand it. Raymond

Aluminum cam gears are very common throughout combustion engines....as are
steel, cast iron, powdered metal, and even fiber. As long as it's properly
installed it should work fine.

Ah, yes, the capriciousness of the FAA.
I have a relative who works for the FAA. He smiles a little too broadly and laughs
a little too heartily when he says, "The FAA Motto: We're not happy until
you're not happy."
