    From: "Mark Roberts" <mark.rbrts1@gmail.com>
    No, the training industry. For 30 plus years I have been involved with Dale Carnegie Training as an instructor and sales rep. There is an opportunity in Beaumont that I am investigating. ABC: ANYWHERE but California. So, if I do move there, I'm wondering how many Pieters there are to co-mingle with... :o) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=399494#399494

    Hi Jim Yes the prop is apparantly the only damage at this point. I am giving it a very strong annual right now and havent found anything else other than a loose nut on the tail wheel.

    Subject: axle bending
    I have to go measure which thickness tubing I used, but either way, I had an idea for a lightweight method of beefing up a straight axle. Why couldn=92t one transform the tube into a truss by drilling a series of holes and running some 4130 tubing, say =BC or 5/16ths diagonally through the holes and welding them where they protrude. This would add a TON of stiffness and strength without much weight. As long as your welds were really good, I can=92t see why this wouldn=92t work. Besides being labor intensive. Thoughts? Douwe

    Subject: Re: axle bending
    From: helspersew@aol.com
    Is a slight bending of the straight axle inherently bad? I can't remember w hich thickness I used, but after all the welding I had it magnafluxed. And then last year I did some additional welding of those bungee "dams" that I added. After that I noticed the wheels are canted a bit inward, caused by t he warping from the heat. This did not seem to affect performance at all wi th all those rides I gave at Brodhead last year. Any thoughts?

    hmmm; inventive idea Douwe. i just might be crazy enough to try it. but maybe someone else will do a stress test comparison before i get to that point in the build. Either way, I love the thinking out side the box. -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=399519#399519

    Subject: Well, I did it... Cut out that compression fracture
    From: "Mark Roberts" <mark.rbrts1@gmail.com>
    It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be to cut it out. The little cutting tool I have did a nice job. The chisels did the rest, and then the cutter helped "sand" down the epoxy to the wood. I am using West systems epoxy, and it works very well. Mixed in with some cab-o-sil and it makes a strong, gap filling bond. Next step: cut a new member and glue it in... Upon inspection of the piece when removed, the compression fracture wasn't all the way through the whole width of the strut, but still, in the back of your mind, it was always gonna be there. This repair is so simple it was a no brainier. Thanks again for the advice! Here's some pics of the process.
