From: "M. Zeke Zechini" It doesn't include a piece of pine or whatever you want to make top front of fin ( curved/carved). Most importantly, no practice pieces!... Um, someone told me..

From: Steven Dortch My first flights will probably have me using my ICOM 21 with the headset plugged directly into it. I will pursue an intercom later. My headset is a Lightspeed 20. It is an older model but works great. Question for the peanut gallery. During my last move we misplaced the charger for my ICOM 21. the battery is 13.2 volt 1100mAh. I have several chargers that will fit it but they are 12.0 volt and 0.5A 12 VDC and 800mAh and 12VDC 750mAh Is it a problem to use these chargers on this battery?

From: "nightmare" I would definitely study the plans and determine on your own what you need. Non aviation doug fir is another option. I saved a boat load of money grading the wood on my own. Must sure be nice to have a AS&S nearby though. -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=412588#412588 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:57:08 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Is it worth buying materials from Aircraft Spruce? From: "taildrags" Yes, it is ;o) But more to the point: I live in Douglas fir country (Oregon). I can get as much as I want, in whatever quality I want, very inexpensively (or even free). I like working with it, although it has its drawbacks. For spars or planks, I will use fir. For smaller pieces, drilling straight holes in it parallel to the grain is difficult because the lines between the grains are hard and they deflect the drill bit. It splinters easily, too, so you have to be very careful when sawing it or the cuts will splinter instead of cutting clean. However, the main thing is that the tail is where you want the airplane to be as light as possible, and fir weighs more than spruce when you're using the same size pieces. For as little as you need to build the tail pieces,use spruce. If you build the tail heavy, your airplane will be dragging it around for the rest of its life. I should know; I'm known as "tail drags" ;o) My other project is an M-19 Flying Squirrel and almost every piece of wood in it is fir. This is how I know about the love/hate relationship with fir. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=412608#412608 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:58:25 PM PST US From: "Gary Boothe" Subject: Pietenpol-List: FC-10, The Real Reason Spent the day with builders Chris Tracy and Mike Weaver.
