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 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.

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?

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.

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. -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=404166#404166 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
