I agree the Poly fiber chemicals are bad but thats what makes it good. Just like
after they have taken lead out of automotive paint and exterior house paint,
they do not hold up. Working in automotive and aircraft restoration business
I see alot of trouble with the new water base paints on cars these days. It's
all great for the environment and the user but they just don't last. Covering
and painting a airplane is too big of job to have to re due it in a few years.
And most are only going to do one in a lifetime. So wear a respirator, open the
doors and use the poly-fiber. You can also make your topcoat alot slicker with
the poly-fiber. We use poly-fiber all the time and have for 30 years and would
not use anything else. Maybe someday but not for now.

I am looking for a corvair core engine. I have advertised on craigslist for one
and have got a couple of calls....but when it came time to pick up the motor....all
of a sudden no answer. I live in RI and will travel a reasonable distance
for a core. If anybody has a lead please let me know.
Thanks,
RIBill7

The prints show this area left alone. I think it would be better if the corner
was taken off and the surface flush with the entire side. How have you done
it?
Thanks,

John, I used a hand plane to make the corner flush with the face of the
aileron spar. Cheers, Ken

I am working on the tail for my Pietenpol. I have the horizontal stabilizer jigged
up and am ready to cut the diagonals between the rear "main beam" and the
center beam. Do these diagonals--if built per plans--interfere with the hardware
used to mount the outermost hinges?
Does the hinge need to be moved in toward the center? I plan to recess the hinges.
What kind of hardware is used to mount the hinges?
Thanks,
Joseph Jameson

Joseph,
Yes, they can be in the way if you are using bolts and nuts. I opened up a
1" access hole in the bottom of those gussets; just enough to get a wrench
on the nuts. I used #4 countersunk, stainless bolts, stainless washers and
stainless, fibered nuts.

Sorry I cant help directly. I would also contact the closest, or several corsa
clubs. May also look in other nearby cities craigslist. I couldnt find one for
a couple of weeks then all of a sudden had my pick of three.
Where in RI are you? I live in florida now but grew up in Warren. one of my
goals is to fly to RI with my completed Piet and land on prudence island to visit
my sister. Great memories in that little state.
