I used the 1.8 oz stuff from Wicks, because it was wide enough to do the wing. I believe I ordered 40 yards, and have 3 or 4 yards left over for my next project.

The certification for it was done at the FSDO office in Oklahoma City. If the engine had no serial number on it, it would definitely need one, I would think. I would think a data plate could be made, if required, with the builder name, a model number, and a serial number. My 2 cents worth. do not archive -------- HOMEBUILDER Will WORK for Spruce Long flights, smooth air, and soft landings, GliderMike, aka Mike Glasgow Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=316732#316732 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 09:33:25 PM PST US From: "Steve Ruse" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Repairing wood screw holes My 28 year old, 600 hour plane has a few screw holes that are wearing out. I have a sheetmetal cover over the nose tank, screwed to the longerons on each side with 3/8" long screws. Despite my best efforts to barely torque these screws, some of them have become quite loose, and on my last flight I actually lost a screw. So, it is time to fix them. What is the best technique here? Gluing a snug-fitting dowel rod into the hole, then cutting and sanding it flush seems like it would work. Should I use T-88, or would Type II PVA (wood glue) be good? Type II would be easier but if T-88 is better that is what I want. I'd like the repairs to last another 30 years (or longer). It seems to me that it would be best not to drill out the holes, but instead to use a snug wood dowel and leaving any remaining fibers inside the hole. Am I wrong? Is there any reason I shouldn't use a hardwood dowel (like oak)? It seems like this would give more durable, longer lasting screw holes/threads. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

The dowels are made with the grain running in the long direction, and fasteners don't hold well when screwed into end grain. I would just reinforce the existing threaded holes with thin cyanoacrylate glue. Just make sure to let it fully cure before putting the screws back in or else you might find it very difficult to remove them the next time they need to come out. -------- Billy McCaskill Urbana, IL tail section almost done, starting on ribs soon Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=316736#316736 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
