Charles, You would at a minimum have to redesign the attaching brackets. On a Grega, the rear spars don't line up with the rear landing gear bracket but they do on a "real" Pietenpol. Grega did this to be able to use Piper Cub landing gears, which were plentiful when he did his modifications. Regards, John F. 4TA0 Prairie Aire

    Jack, The drawing is calling for two tubes, telescoping one inside the other. Note the cross-hatching in the cross-section. It is a drawing convention that when the direction of cross-hatching (the little angled lines) changes, it implies that there is a separate part shown. Slip a piece of 1/2" tube (either .035" wall or .049" wall) inside the 5/8" tube and after welding, ream to fit a 7/16" (0.4375") bolt.

    Jack Do you weld in the 1/2 tube or is this a slip fit so it can be replaced due to wear?? Why is this not mentioned on the plans? Why would you build it this way? Is there some reason not use one piece of thicker tubing? Why didn't Jack T. tell me this before I just ordered the tubing for the engine mount.

    Chris, I really don't think it matters if the inner tube is welded to the outer tube or not - it is just a "filler", but I would probably weld them together - no reason not to. To be honest, I didn't build mine that way. I bought some 1.75" dia 4130 rod stock and had a machine shop turn down the fittings and ream the bore to .4375", then I welded them into the mount. I just found that easier and stronger, since there is no gap between the inner and outer tubes (there being but one thick tube), and since the flat washer takes considerable load I wanted it to be stronger than just a hardware store washer. Here's a picture showing mine in the jig for welding: And a picture of the finished product on the airplane: Hope that helps.

    I am in Winnipeg for work and with some time off today I ventured out to visit Lyncrest Airport, east of the city. They have two grass strips that are pretty well snow covered this time of year. I saw a few vehicles in front of a hanger so on a whim, I barged on in and introduced myself as a pilot and builder. As it happens, one of the guys there was Adrian with a Pietenpol who posts here occasionally as Pineymb. They were gracious enough to let me hang out with them for a while and shoot the breeze. Adrian has a nice Pietenpol, currently on skis. He has a 2-piece wing which is the first one I have ever seen. The weather was low overcast skies so no one was up flying. I hope to stop back some day when the weather is better. -------- David Gallagher Zodiac 601 XL-B: flying, 220+ hours now Next project under construction: Finish my father's Aircamper Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=390551#390551 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_3590_213.jpg

    Hi All, Speaking of engine mount jigs. I am finished with Don E's nice angle iron jig. Don told me to pass it on when I'm done. Very sturdy jig, for small continental, think it is about 1" longer than plans, puts the top flange 13 3/4" from fire wall. Can be picked up in NW West Virginia, by Parkersburg, write me off list.

    Subject: Soaking cap strips in water. Need help!
    From: "Pietflyer1977" <rob@stoinoff.com>
    Has anyone ever had this trouble. I cannot believe it is even doing it and don't know why or how to stop it. I soaked my spruce cap strips in a pvc tube with tap water overnight, next day pull them out and put in jig. They dry out overnight but when dry they have black mold spots on them. I then tried distilled water and same results. Tried adding bleach to distilled water and after they were dry they have black spots again. The problem also is that they seem to be deep and it doesn't want to sand off easy. After scrubing the dry wood with straight bleach it will come off but then turns the wood a grey color when the bleach dries. Anyone know whats going on and how to stop it?

    Soak them in boiling water - it will inhibit a lot of of the mold growth, plus you only need to soak for 30-45 minutes, so you are drastically cutting down on the time the wood is wet. Seal your jig with a polyurethane varnish, just in case it is a source of mold spores. Put your drying capstrip/jig in a sunny (or at least not dark) spot. I won't garauntee that any of this will stop all the mold growth, but what you are doing is minimizing the conditions (cool, dark & wet) that encourage it. If you still have problems, try 'bleaching' with hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach. It removes the stain without discoloring the wood so badly.

Need help! Has anyone ever had this trouble. I cannot believe it is even doing it and don't know why or how to stop it. I soaked my spruce cap strips in a pvc tu be with tap water overnight, next day pull them out and put in jig. They dr y out overnight but when dry they have black mold spots on them. I then tri ed distilled water and same results. Tried adding bleach to distilled water and after they were dry they have black spots again. The problem also is t hat they seem to be deep and it doesn't want to sand off easy. After scrubi ng the dry wood with straight bleach it will come off but then turns the wo od a grey color when the bleach dries. Anyone know whats going on and how t o stop it?

    Hey Fred and Fred... I do remember we talked about getting it for you to use. It's a little bulky, but with some creativity you could probably get it in the L2. Skip lives on an airstrip so that helps. You could probably take some of it apart too. When you put it back together though, you might want to do a little re-aligning.

    I did the same as Kip... hot water. I only soaked for 20 minutes or so and then jigged up for a day or so to dry. Did several at a time so I could keep busy on the ribs. -------- Mark Chouinard Wings, Center Section and Empannage and Fuse framed up - Working on Landing Gear Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=390580#390580
