Do any of our computer literate folks out there have a way to "short-cut"
the "do not archive" function? It would be nice to, lets say, hit the F1

Hi Ray,
A few years ago I had to fabricate a tailwheel bracket assembly for My Aero
nca Sedan (legal because there are non available) all made out of various s
izes of streamline tubing. I was faced with the same situation as you. The
main strut tubing that was used in 1948 was thicker than what I could get.
So I noticed that I could order the next size smaller and it would actually
slide inside of the thin walled tube, with a little filing/grinding. The e
nds were all welded in my assembly so nobody was the wiser. I was assured t
hat the final product was as strong or stronger that the original. Don't kn
ow if this trick will work for you. If not maybe you could slip some round
or square tube in there and weld the two together.

Dear group,
Since this topic is appropriate to my question, I will "Hijack it".
I am building the Sky Scout and the landing gear calls for "Streamline tube
o. 1695" for the rear landing "strut". Does anyone know the specifics of
his tubing? I ordered Chromoly Streamline tubing from ACS of the correct
imensions (1.5"X3/4") but its wall thickness is only .049, the thickest
hey carry. This seems rather thin compared to the front tube of the
anding gear which is 1.5" X 11 gauge wall thickness. I have the parts cut
ut but will await your sage advice before welding.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and fly SAFELY,
Ray Krause

Yes Gary,
I feel I must verify Jack's integrity. He has sworn to not disparage
Covair engines for another 28 days and counting and he's done an admirable
job so far even though I tried to draw him out today (he's undoubtedly a
better man than I).
However, he hasn't sworn off declaring the CH750 as "Uglier than the box
a sonex was delivered in" and I fully expect to hear about that.
And when he finds himself in Australia I hope he will look me up and
teach me how to fly that spam can.
Back to lurking...

Yep. They're part of the wing aren't they? Did all the tail surfaces, too.
I hate it when you are diving down on the tail of a black and yellow German
and suddenly hear the fabric ripping off your flying surfaces.

| Subject: | Finally got to Fly |
I finally took the time to patch the slow leak on the port side
inner tube (thanks to John Kuhfahl for the tire patch kit!) and
took Scout up yesterday. It's been windy here too, but it's good
practice to fly when it's less than ideal and it turned out to be
fun to go up with some gusty x-winds. Flew over to fuel up at a
neighboring field and landed into what must have been a 15-18 MPH
quartering headwind, landed so short that I ended up taxiing a quarter
of the length of the runway just to get to the turnoff. It was
great to be up flying, especially solo with a brisk wind so the
airplane really climbs out.
The seatbelts and shoulder harness in the front cockpit of my airplane
are quickly and easily removable and I wouldn't have it any other
way. They just get in the way of your feet when there is nobody
up front.
And a comment on AmSafety's post: that would be tiny BUBBLES, not
tiny BIBLES, that Don Ho sang about. However, Bibles of any shape
and size are a good thing too ;o)

Hello list,
A friend of mine (thanks Ron) took another video yesterday of my Pietenpol project.
This one focuses on "engine turning" the firewall.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Lakefrontseattle#p/a/u/0/q-EfkzEjQOo
For clarification... I stumbled my speaking a bit when talking about the product I used to build the burnishing tool. It's called "Cratex" and is available at places that sell machining supplies. I bought a couple sticks local here in Seattle. The largest size is a 2" x 1" x 6" rectangular bar and it is part number 6168C.
