Guest - Somebody said it couldn't be done' But he with a chuckle replied That "Mabe it couldn't", but he would be one who wouldn't say so till he'd tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin, and if he worried, he certinly hid hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done and he did it. Somebody scoffed; "Oh you'll never do that; at least no one ever has done i t;" But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, and the first thing we kn ew he'd begun it. With-a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, without any doubt or quit it , He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done and he d id it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to p rophsy failure; There are thousands to point out to you one by one the dangers that wait to asail you. But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin, just take off your coat and go to it;- Just start to sing as you tackle the thing that "cannot be don e" and you'll do it. - Shad P.S.- This i for all you builders who might have some sceptical friends o r aquaintances.- You CAN do it, Corvair, Continental, Ford, Suburu or wha t ever, keep at it it will fly some day! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:42:23 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Rib Stitching From: helspersew@aol.com ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:51:00 AM PST US From: "Jack Phillips" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Rib Stitching Nuthin' there, Dan -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of helspersew@aol.com Sent: Monday, January 02, 2012 6:40 AM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Rib Stitching ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:08:05 AM PST US From: "C N Campbell" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Rib Stitching Yeah, Dan.

One thing I did do is use some Loctite 640 Bearing Retainer to set the bearing into the wheel hub. If using the oil type bearings just wipe the surface with alcohol to remove the oil and then apply the Loctite. This will keep the bearing from spinning in the wheel hub and wearing it out. The oiled bearings can be replaced by heating the bearing some and pressing them out. -------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=362220#362220 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:48:07 AM PST US From: "Gary Boothe" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Rib Stitching ...still nuthin'...

Happy New Year, Tim in central TX ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 10:00:21 AM PST US From: Woodflier@aol.com Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Last flight of the year. I'm enjoying reading about people's last flights of 2011 and first of 2012. Like Jack Phillips, I got in a nice late-afternoon flight on Friday, but I had to work for it. The hangar where the Piet stays is one of those Port-a-port hangars, with side doors that bifold on rollers horizontally, and a single center door that pushes up and latches, and is counterbalanced with big springs and cables. Last week, I went down to the strip and the springs on one side has snapped. That center door is way heavy. Friday, I didn't have anyone to help me so I tried pushing the door up as far as I could and bracing it with a 4 foot piece of steel pipe. Then I pushed it up farther by walking a longer 2X4 up wedged between the asphalt floor and the door. Finally, I got it up and latched but using a still longer 2X4. Replacement springs are ordered - Ben Gay has been applied! Friday was warm - high 50s but breezy. Flying north with the wind was a lot of fun but it was slow coming back south. Still it was a great way to end the year, and after landing I realized that it was a year to the day that we'd trucked the wings down to Twin Rivers and attached them to the fuselage, and made it into a real airplane. Happy New Year, Good People!
