| Subject: | Re: tack welding |
It's been a while since I did any welding on these parts
next to wood so I forgot something until just now. I
found this stuff in the welding supply before doing that
You paint on the parts near the weld and it acts as
a heat sink. My supply is long gone now but I'm sure a
supply company or welder would know what it is and
where to get it.
Clif
My first question is are you gas or tig welding? I'm not sure you
could even do this with gas as the metal has to heat up and there would
be no way to protect the underlying wood and glue from scorching. Douwe

Subject: Pietenpol-List: It flies again for the first time
N1709R is finally back in the air. After 600hrs of labor and a few thousand
dollars, the airplane flew for the first time (again) after being brought
back to life from being neglected for the past 10 or so years. (It is
interesting to note the size of the giant tail. The original builder didn't
think it had enough rudder control, so he enlarged it to over double the
normal size. Now it has lots of rudder authority, but looks somewhat
cartoonish in flight. At first, I didn't like it, but it is growing on me
(no pun intended).
Thanks for everyone's input and help.
Looking through some very old photos from my wife's grandparents, we noticed
a picture of a barnstormer who landed in a field in a Jenny and took my
wife's aunt for a ride. The next year he was back in a Ford Tri-motor in
the same field in the Amarillo area. So, for our Christmas cards to the
family this year, we re-enacted the photo with the Piet and had them printed
in the Sepia color to look old. They turned out pretty good.

I'm using TIG which does the best job of keeping the heat localized and minimized

Tucker,
You make me proud. Keep on a keepin' on and one day you will fly your OWN
airplane. In the process you are learning things that no one can take away from
you. The skills you learn while building will pass on to adult life as a way
to get a job if you want to work with your hands. I would love to have you for
a grandson.

Put another 2.4 hrs. in the logbook today at the controls of
"Scout". Beautiful day for flying... practically CAVU in advance
of a cold front, just barely jacket weather at 2500 ft. but
we were glad we had jackets after 30 minutes at 3000 ft.
There was an open house and fly-in at Castroville today, just 10
minutes south of my home field. Flew over there to fuel up and
to see who was on the field, only to find a very quiet day there.
Fueled up, then the airport guys took my brother and I over to
the hangar where a fellow is building a scale Nieuport 12 replica
with a 9-cylinder Rotec radial. Gorgeous airplane! While we
were getting ready to head out, traffic called "North American xxx
entering downwind..." and we knew it was something special. It was.
A stunning SNJ! He landed, fueled up, and then we taxied out
for our takeoff, headed to Medina Lake and then to Boerne Stage
Airport to drop off my brother. While we were climbing out toward
Medina Lake, I see the SNJ clawing up towards us! He formed up on
our starboard wing, they waved through the open canopies, then
zoomed off. We were at cruise at 70MPH and the SNJ smoked past us
like we were tied down ;o) Sun was on our port side and illuminated
his broadside in our view, so itlit up the SNJ in a picture-perfect
way our wing. I got some pix of it on the ground, but not in the air,
doggone it.
I love flying this airplane, even if I did notice that yet another
of the cooling eyebrow mounting tabs has now fatigued clear through.
Sigh. I replace about one every 6 months...

Well, I was referring to my actual fuselage...I did not make a mock up of it. However,
I make A LOT of templates...I use a CAD type program and print out the
various metal parts, (and my own designs) to see how they all look/fit together.
I am more of a "Template Builder" I guess.

Man, I wish I was there. I am getting "Horny for aviation."
In the 1990s I was "Shot down" in my Cessna 150 by a P51 over Galveston. The P51
was on a photoshoot with a B17. When I saw him I announced my position. He called
TallyHO rolled off and did a "Gun run" straight at me while doing aleron
rolls. He passed by my right wing. I got one photo. A winged blur. Then he formed

separated.- Maybe-after you get back we can set up a time when we can
-see your progress.- As I said before, you are welcome in our shop as w

It is good that you are making progress with those time consuming small par
ts.- It-all takes-so much time.- There are so many parts to make.

Good luck and-keep in touch.- Vic

Jorge,

How are-you doing with-your Piet?- I have not heard from you for a lo
ng time.- Recently I have-seen a couple-of posts by you on the-site
.--Good to see that you are still active.- I would like to come over
some time and check out your progress and share ideas.- Since we are only
40 minutes drive it seems odd we have not kept closer contact.- On the f
lip-side you, and all the Piet folks are always welcome at our shop.

Where are you in your progress at this time?- It sounds like you have mad
e some-movement forward.-

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Welding Question
This might be really dumb question but when I'm tack welding parts together
that are bolted to wood structure, for example the landing gear mounts on
the bottom longerons, how do I prevent scorching of the wood or damaging th
e glue joint?
Thanks for the help.- This is my first wood airplane.

Man, I wish I was there. I am getting "Horny for aviation."
In the 1990s I was "Shot down" in my Cessna 150 by a P51 over Galveston. Th
e P51 was on a photoshoot with a B17. When I saw him I announced my positio
n. He called TallyHO rolled off and did a "Gun run" straight at me while do
ing aleron rolls. He passed by my right wing. I got one photo. A winged blu
r. Then he formed up on the B17 and went on- his way. Way Cool.
Blue Skies,
Steve D
