    Subject: Cassutt Crash Sad News
    Lb Hansen the guru of Cassutt Racers was killed on a test flight. A friend in Des Moines is building one and had just corresponded with him prior to the accident. As I get closer to flying my Piet these stories and thoughts concern me. So sorry for his family and friends. Jack DSM http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/27982350/detail.html

    Mark, I used to watch Mike Cuy's video to get me recharged, especially the part where he has a camera on him while he takes off and flies. That was good for several weeks of grunt work, like rib stitching. We all need that boost from time to time. But, it's all worth it when the plane flies! I'm in Lexington, Virginia, in the southern Shenandoah Valley. The mountains are the Blue Ridge and the Alleghanies. We've had a lot of rain this spring so everything is particularly green. Keep at it.

    If you notice, that deer isn't too bright. He/she tries to take off across the width of the runway. Can't really get up to speed to generate enough lift, and just manages a hop. Then again, it doesn't appear to be a reindeer, so it probably can't even really fly. BC do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=341206#341206

    Subject: Aileron flex.
    From: "skellytown flyer" <skellflyer1@yahoo.com>
    I am wondering about the flex in my ailerons on the GN-1 I finished and started flying. a friend was looking at it and pointed out that there is quite a bit of weakness in the aileron when you put some tension or lift toward the ends of them-at the trailing edge. it wrinkles the fabric pretty easy and he was concerned that there might be something coming apart. I cut the fabric away from the underside of the left one to be sure and it looks OK. it just is not a very stiff spar on the front and there are no X or V braces going back to transfer the loads like I have seen on other designs. I may be over-complicating the thing. it has flown OK up to now. I see nothing in the plans to indicate anything other than the simple spar and ribs going back to the aluminum trailing edge I have - this wing was the project I bought from D.J. Vegh. I am in the unfortunate shape of needing to go away on a job for a couple weeks and it would be good to have this fixed before too long but other than peel all the fabric off and glue a continuous strip of plywood along the top and bottom of the spar and maybe some angle strips of wood back from the aileron horn area I am not sure what I might do to fix it or if i needs anything. have any of you ran into this and did it concern you?

    Wow....... I've been working on my Pietenpol for a lot more than 1000 hours. Look what NASA built in that time.....! A spacewalk for the history books Chamitoff and Fincke logged the 1,000th hour spacewalking in support of International Space Station assembly and maintenance at 4:02 a.m., four hours and 47 minutes into the EVA. Spread over 159 shuttle and station spacewalks performed since construction began in 1998, the total time at the end of today's EVA was 1,002 hours and 37 minutes dedicated to the space station. -------- Jake Schultz - curator, Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=341218#341218

    I am in the re-assembly stages on NX7229R and have come to the firewall. I have decided the previous firewall was unacceptable, but have not decided what to do about the new one. Bingellis calls for .016 stainless over 0.624 asbestos, but I have a feeling asbestos is out of style. Any thoughts? -- Andrew Eldredge Provo, UT

    Beautiful Country there Matt! I lived from 11 - 19 years old in NC, SC and VA. We moved a lot. At the time I didn;t have the maturity to appreciate the beauty of the Mountains, but today I'd love to be up in them thar hills! Maybe one day.

    Hav you checked out ACS pg 311? There are some good products there for coating the firewall.
