It looks larger in the picture. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gboothe5 To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 4:42 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Leading Edge Lest anyone think that all I do is defend the Corvair Movement from the Kracken. A couple weeks ago I was visiting Chris Tracy and noticed that he had used a half-round bit to rabbit out the back side of his leading edges. He made matching male pieces which he located on the front of the ribs, perfectly locating the leading edges, providing extra glue surface, lightening the piece of wood (Poplar!!), and generally impressing the heck out of me. At the time, I thought that was way too much unnecessary work, but my leading edges went together nicely and I landed on an easy method to do something similar. Mine have a square rabbit, 3/8" x =BD", that has a corresponding locator glued to the ribs. I don't know how Chris located his pieces, but mine are done with one long piece, epoxied to all the ribs at once, then cut out one by one with a back saw (that's what I have been doing today, in between counter attacks on the Kracken). Oh.did I say.my leading edges are Poplar, too.

I wish it was a little longer. An acquaintance from the Houston area(TS07) stopped by with his Piper Arrow 200. My field is marginal for that airplane. It stopped OK but He was near full of gas and used 3/4 of the runway getting airborne. My brother's Skyranger with the 100 HP Rotax works great. I hope my Pietenpol will do half as good as it does. A friend has a nice J-3 and it also does great. -------- Jerry Dotson 59 Daniel Johnson Rd Baker, FL 32531 Started building NX510JD July, 2009 wing, tailfeathers done, fuselage rolling using Lycoming O-235 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=334533#334533 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/paul_arrow_135.jpg ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 03:43:41 PM PST US From: airlion Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Jerry's Field Jerry, what town are you near?I can't seem to find you.
