Subject: Pietenpol-List: Sterling's Piet project for sale in TX
Some of you may remember our friend Sterling, who came up with the
concept of the TACOs (Texas Air Camper Organization). He has developed
melanoma and recent tests have indicated that it's going to progress
unabated, so he's preparing to get his things in order so as not to leave
his wife with a bunch of guy stuff to figure out and dispose of when he
goes.
Here's the email straight from his keyboard, and he is not one to pull
punches or fool around and neither am I, so here's the deal:
=====================
This is the link to the video I just uploaded to my YouTube account.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwbx3Q8cv7c
The video is really lousy and not typical of my work, but I am
in a rush to get a lot of things done before my surgery on 4-27. I hope
to get my auction on Ebay late this weekend.
I very much appreciate your helping me get word out on this. Life has
gotten very complicated in the last few weeks and I have so much to do
as I prepare for the big change that is about to happen. I'm in a
"Muy Pronto" mindset!
If you will be so kind to suggest that I'm selling this due to health
reasons
and also mention I might not be able to answer questions off of my YouTube
account or through Ebay due to the surgery and treatment after. However I'll
do my best to answer if I can. The surgeon mentioned after surgery the need
to stay at home and out of dusty areas because of the risk of infection
(and maybe falling on my fat bohunkus).
I'm planning of putting the A-80 engine on a separate auction soon. It will
come with an aluminum prop... forgot what brand it is, but it is in storage
in my barn. Also, my Cessna 150/150 will be for sale soon. Not sure if I'll
put that on Barnstormers or where.
I do encourage "pre-bid" inspections and I would do my best to accommodate
anyone who would like to see this in person, at the airport in Ballinger,
Texas
(Bruce Field, E30)
Not shown in my video are plexiglass windshields for the passenger and
pilot.
I have these as they were cut by the original builder. I also have the
horizontal
stabilizer I forgot to show in the video.
Thanks again so much for helping "communicate" this. I am just way out of
the
loop with people these days.

I hope Sterling has made the trip to M D Anderson Medical Center. I was
diagnosed w/ Stage 4 melanoma 12/09. I put my intentions of building on
hold until such time as I was certain of the direction I was headed. Still
don't know, but there are many exciting treatments being developed. Don't
throw in the towel yet.

Only the first coats need to be brushed so they adher mechanically to the f
abric. I do not know how many people use latex for the first coat and how m
any use a polyfiber or dope peoduct for the first coats. Poyfiber and nitra
te dope need to mechanically adhere to the fabric and I do not think you ca
n find something that adhers well to polyester fabric chemically without we
akening it. There are other systems that may, I know nothing about stewart
system or Hipec.

You're right Chris, If latex is your first coat, the "accepted" practice
seems to be brushing it on with a foam brush ensuring it gets squeezed into
and encapsulates the weave to form a mechanical bond. Consecutive coats
will adhere to the first coat, so spraying is fine.
My first coat was nitrate dope, which the latex sticks to well.

Kevin, thanks for the offer. I'm looking forward to meeting Oscar and
John later today. We won't be able to make it up to Austin on this
trip. Definitely another time. I grew up just north of Austin, at
least it was still north of the city in those days. We lived not far
from Tim's Airpark, where my older brother was a lineboy for awhile in
the early '70s. Sadly Tim's is gone now. I have many fond memories
of the EAA flyin that was in Georgetown before it moved to Kerrville.
My best, Ken

Subject: Pietenpol-List: spraying latex
Anyone thinking of doing a latex paint = job=85
My new paint scheme is going to be a =93faux = clear-doped linen
look=94 with a
trim color edging and nose. The ceconite = will be sprayed with a
tinted
clear dope, but the trim color (a weird british = green) is proving
very
hard to match in dope, so I started looking at = latex.
I just purchased a new hvlp gun for work and just = finished some
spray
experiments with latex and I gotta tell you, anybody out = there
preparing
to do a latex paint job should really consider spraying. = I simply
am
amazed at how nice the test panels came out. The semi gloss I used =
really
mimics dope, or one could easily spray a clear coat of dope on top and
= it
would be difficult to tell the difference.
Now I just take my paint chip to Home Depot, have = them put it under
the
spectrometer, then hit the auto paint shop for the matching = enamel
for the
sheet metal and we=92re good to = go!
Secret seems to be diluting with windshield washer = fluid for good
spraying
qualities (smaller atomization) and floetrol for better = flowing
qualities
once the paint is on the surface. Mixed solution I used = took about
25
seconds to exit a standard viscosity cup. Seemed almost = impossible
to get
a run on a vertical surface too, which was kinda = neat.

John, I am in lovely Basra, Iraq. I whould be in the SA area in mid fall. I will
keep y'all posted.
There is one wild card. I have had my name proposed for a position in the Czech
Republic. My real boss and I are discussing it. She is not crazy about such a
sudden move to europe. I guess I could figure out how to fly the Vtail there.
I am one of 4 who's names have been proposed.
Blue Skies,

There was a discussion about cutting your own cap strips a little while ago and
I am a little confused. I have read the circular on selecting wood and and now
totally lost. My vocabulary is limited to whatyamacallits and thingamajigs.
Reason being,I lucked in to about 20 BF of spruce for $10.00 and was going to
get started while waiting for my order to arrive. After I cut my capstrips
which way should the grain be running. Please check the drawing and let me know.
Thanks
Mark

| Subject: | Another rib question |
I am plotting out the 612 rib and while looking at various photos of previous ribs
made i see that some have vertical supports along the spars and some do not.
The Pietenpol original wing plan does not have them, with the attachment point
being nails along the top and bottom of the spar. Does having them make
installation easier later on? I would like to not have the extra pound or two
of wood if they are not necessary. Just trying to see the logic in the various
methods.
Thanks
Mark

at Lowe's. I could only find one or two boards at a time that had a tight

on the table saw. Most lumber yard boards come with the grain orientation

I picked up some Latex today- best one Sherwin Williams carries.I'm going to cover
my wings and tail before they get any oil and such hopefully. I'm not happy
flying them just with Polyspray over the long haul.I am planning on trying to
use foam brush and roller. I'm looking for experience to guide me with how
much to thin? I have some flow control agent. and if necessary a gallon of bug
juice- windshield washer fluid. but the guy at the store says all it takes is
a few ounces of the floetrol type stuff. (it's a different brand but he says
it's just as good) I know I'll need to re-calculate the W&B afterward but I can
deal with that.if any of you went through the finish with roller and foam brush
and wouldn't mind I'd sure like to hear about your results.Raymond

I would not use a roller.- A foam brush would work well.- The brush wil
l help insure that it gets brushed into the fabric, the roller could leave
voids, adheasion problems, and probably won't look as good as a brush.- I
'd recomend at least-2 cross coats (4 total coats) 90 degrees to each oth
er, 1 span wise, next 1 chord wise, span wise, chord wise.- Then judge if
you need any more coats.-Experiment and see what works for you.

I can state from seeing up close & personal that Shad's brushed-on
paint job looks real fine - kind of old-timey, but do you really want
super-slick on a plane like this?

I'll bet it does. I'm not looking for a super slick wet look. I got semi-gloss.
if it will just lay down smooth I'll be happy. I have already got it in Stitts
through Poly-spray and flying it some. always did plan to do a finish coat on
the wings and tail.the fuse is Red now. but will do a cream-white flying surfaces.Raymond

| Subject: | Re: Another rib question |
Mark,
I am a new guy, like you , and am just getting started on my ribs. I have chosen
the Riblett 613.5 airfoil. My apologies to all of the traditionalists, but I
think that Lowell Frank and others have done a good job of convincing me to go
with a Riblett airfoil. The original wing ribs did not have the brace behind
the main spar and the additional vertical brace in front of the rear spar, but
it seems that a lot of people have introduced them to the design as an improvement.
Once you add the bracing/cables, it makes for a good design addition.
I have added it, and you might consider doing so as well.
--------
Semper Fi,
Terry
