| Subject: | Re: radiator fluid |
I've been working in commercial and industrial water treatment for 15
years, so I feel compelled to share my two cents here. Distilled water is
corrosive, especially with respect to steel. I don't recommend using
distilled water unless you add a corrosion inhibitor. Name brand
automotive coolants have pH buffers and corrosion inhibitors that do a good
job preventing corrosion. Typically, a 50/50 glycol mix only reduces heat
transfer by approximately 10%. Not a big deal.

I have been following the posts concerning the official =9Cfish
scale=9D for measuring prop performance. Here in the Midwest a
hardware store called =9CMAC=99S=9D has a =9Cbig
game scale=9D with a 440 pound capacity. I haven=99t seen
it yet but for the sale price of $12.99 I am going to check it out. The
price is probably less than two shipping charges to use the
=9COFFICIAL FISH SCALE=9D.

| Subject: | which Bingelis book |
I'm ordering one of the construction technique books by Bingelis but I see
there are two which don't seem to be terribly different... Construction Te
chniques and then there is Sport Plane Builder. Which one is preferred for
the subject matters I'll need working on the Piet. Maybe it's best to buy
both??

I would recommend both, Tom... the two you mention are similar, but there are notable
differences.

I'll second Mark and Ryan. While the topics are similar, I don't
think there is any specific content shared across the Bingelis books.
