Dear Listers,
The percentage of members making a Contribution to support the Lists this year
is currently behind last year by at this time by roughly 25%. We got off to a
slow start this year with the network DNS issues on the kickoff weekend, so please
take this opportunity to show your support for the Matronics Lists and Forums!
Please remember that it is *solely* your direct Contributions that keep these Lists
and Forums up and running and most importantly - AD FREE! If the members
don't want to support the Lists directly, then I might have to add advertisements
to offset the costs of running the Lists. But I don't want to have to do
that. I really like the non-commercial atmosphere here and I think that a lot
of the members appreciate that too.
Please take a moment to make a Contribution today in support of the continued ad-free

Terry I bought 45 yards and had just a little left. I figure that was perfect.
There is enough to cover a control surface or two. I used the 2.7 oz non certified.
It was 62" wide. Worked out great. I asked what the difference was between
certified and non-certified. The salesman said not much except the width. He
said "They both come from the same shipping address."

Subject: | fuselage gussets |
This may have been talked to death in the past, but I checked the search function
and didn't find my answer. I ordered some long pieces of ply after reading
the reprint of the 1929 glider manual instructions. according to what I read
the side gussets were 3/32 and the long gusset was also 3/32 thick... Now
I read my plans and it shows 1/8 thick. Have I screwed the pooch here? Hope
I don't have useless 2' by 8' pieces of expensive plywood.

Well good morning John,
It has been awhile since I have seen your name pop up. If I told you that I will
be right over to help you, would you start tinkering with the plane before
I got there?
Wish I didn't live so far away from you. The 3000 miles gets in the way of any
physical help I could offer. I'll bet that if you did go out to the airport
and finished it, your knees would instantly feel better, at least enough to go
flying.
I know it is getting cold there already. Do you have a heater in the hangar? I'll
bet you could finish it in time for Brodhead. Wouldn't that be great?
Anyway, good to hear from you. Hope you can get through your slump. Happy holidays
and ask Santa for a white scarf and goggles for Christmas. That may be
all it takes.
Happy Landings,

Subject: | Re: How Much Fabric? |
Hi Terry
You need at least 24 yards of the 72 inch wide stuff to do the wings the easy way.
The narrower fabric won't give you enough overlap on the leading and trailing
edges if you want to put one sheet on the top and one on the bottom. You
could always run the pieces perpendicular to the spars (one loop joined at the
trailing edge) and hide the lap joint at a rib with the rib lacing and pinked
tape if you had no other choice but the 60 inch wide stuff. The air doesn't
care.
45 yards total sounds about right and allows for at least one serious oops.
In deference to debris kicked up by tires and prop, you might consider using the
heavier weight cloth for the bottom of the fuselage and maybe the horizontal
stab/elevator.
Since you didn't ask, I recommend the Stewart system and get their DVDs. Makes
the job much easier.
Dave

There is a King Air that flies skydivers from this airport (runway is
6,000'), and often flies opposite of the traffic as it enables him to get up
and back far quicker. I don't have a radio, so I miss out on all his
transmissions, though I know he announces all his goings and comings.
35 seconds into this clip, you will see me glance off to my right, as I see
him peel off to his left, at about 50', to avoid me. Whew!!

To keep a little shoulder room consider keeping the rear seat bay a full 24" wide,
then allow the fuse to taper AFTER the rear seat. I did and I think it give

Scott,
Working 7 days s week and trying to work with severe back pain really puts a crimp
in ones airplane building schedule. Unfortunately I'm not permitted a heater
or anything
With open flame according to the airport manager. Makes for colder work periods
as much as I would like to work more and hurt less it's been a struggle biting
cold doesn't help anything. Oh well! It's been progressively gettin worse since
last December. If I could improve the back some is be building again.
I got a year left if I concentrate hard on the finish line and 2 1/2 at a typical
build pace which I would prefer. Obviously time and cash play s big part of
the build process
I live in great hope of one day flying my build to Brodhead and taking my place
among my friends, whom I've admired their builds .
Right now want to build just not sure of what's
Be well and fly safe
John

John, I am great at being the "Good Idea Fairy!" Here is some advice
from my working on my planes in NW Oklahoma (near the North pole) (Ths
advice is free and may not be worth it.)
For the heat, Try insulated boots. I used to have a pair of German fleece
lined boots that had a styrofoam like insulation in the sole. Perfect for
standing guard on concrete in the German winter. (Worthless for walking
anywhere) Also Take a look at heated floor mats. They seem to run from $70
to $179. You can move them to where you are working. If I can keep my feet
and ears warm that is more than half of the battle. A heat lamp on the
parts you are going to work on
I don't know the particulars on your back, but I have a lot of old
infantryman back experience. I really suggest you see if some physical
therapy will help. Build (or buy) you some stools at various heights. Also
look at a kneeling chair. Shoes with various lifts work for some people.
Don't forget you are the CEO of your body and know what you can do and when
you are overdoing it.
Blue Skies,
Steve D

A snowmobile suit will keep you warm nearly anywhere, maybe too warm. I bid
on two separate ones on ebay years ago and got them both for less than $50
each. Those thick wool socks like they sell at Bass Pro will keep your feet
warm too. Capilene underwear goes a long way and is very comfortable. With
capilene underwear, fleece outer layer and a snowmobile suit you could stand
well below freezing weather and strong winds also.
What has been working for me and I say "for me" before anyone jumps in to
start flaming me is stretching. I put one foot up on the commode and hold
onto the shower door, lean forward while breathing and stretch my hamstring.
Then I do the same on the other one. After that I try to bend over and touch
my toes. Never been able to touch them yet in the last 60 yrs. Used to have
horrible lower back pain from off position bending and lifting things and
this is the only thing that works for me. When I feel a kink coming I
stretch and then an hour later do it again until it stops.
Joining scrounge dawgs and helping work on the group pietenpol project is
a tremendous motivator for me along with learning things to do and a lot of
not to dos.

6,000=99), and often flies opposite of the traffic as it enables
him to get up and back far quicker. I don=99t have a radio, so I
miss out on all his transmissions, though I know he announces all his
goings and comings.
35 seconds into this clip, you will see me glance off to my right, as I
see him peel off to his left, at about 50=99, to avoid me. Whew!!

Hi Gary,
I enjoyed seeing the video and wish I were making more progress. Do be care
ful around that King Air; thats a lot bigger and faster and I don't want to
see it hurt a Piet. Spam can pilots can get complacent about watching for
other traffic.
Cheers,

Right, Jim! I think I would end up just like one of the many bugs on his
leading edge! Fortunately, he=99s a very good pilot and looks out
for the rest of us!
Good luck with the scarf joints!

Gary, I concur with Jim. We have a very active skydive operation at my
home airport. Those pilots seem to be unable to see anyone unless they are
talking on the radio or causing blips on the skydive TCAS, and even then
sometimes have troubles seeing other traffic. And they often define their
own traffic patterns. I'd suggest getting a radio, at least for the times
when you are in the traffic pattern. Cheers, Ken

Do doubt about it, Ken!...but I was in a guy's hangar yesterday, and his
radio was turned on. I asked what airport he was listening to, because of
all the chatter.it was ours!! One guy was even giving others permission to
land ahead of him!! Oh, I wish I had been in the pattern at that minute.he'd
be screaming is bloody head off at me.and me not hearing a word!!!

Subject: | Re: How Much Fabric? |
I have a couple of useless and snide comments about this, and then one personal
observation about the fabric "weight". Useless and snide comment to Ken Bickers:
do you realize what you get when you multiply 37 yards x 3 ft. to the yard
x 6 ft. wide? Are you sure you want to fly that thing? ;o)
Useless and snide comment to Jerry regarding certified and non-certified fabrics
both coming from the same shipping address: the Chevy Malibu ($20,000) and the
Cadillac ELR ($75,000) come from the same plant in Michigan ;o)
And a personal observation on fabric weight, not to be argumentative but simply
to throw in my (somewhat limited) personal experience: Scout is covered with
Poly-Fiber "uncertified light", which I believe is 1.87 oz/sq.yd. I have operated
the airplane off of grass, dirt, turf, and of course asphalt and concrete
with plenty of gravel and debris to be thrown around. Although the airplane
has gotten plenty dirty, oily, and nasty, I have never found any damage to the
fabric anywhere on the airplane from FOD or anything else. In fact, it takes
a pretty determined effort to punch through it if you're not using a knife or
something with a sharp edge. I've found plenty of paint chipping and wearing
on the lower landing gear legs, spring struts, tailwheel and spring, but no visible
damage to the fabric. If I were to recover the aircraft for whatever reason,
I would go with the lightweight fabric again and just patch it if I ever
had a cut or tear to repair.

oh dear, Oscar. I hadn't done the math. Fortunately, I added another 5
yards, which takes the total from the dreaded and no doubt possessed 666 to
756. Though given all of the wastage, who knows, it might actually be in
that danger zone. I guess I'll just have to live on the edge and take my
chances flying the thing.
The real question is why you are doing math calculations on things like
this. You clearly need a hobby -- maybe flying or building.
On a more serious note, it is interesting what all of this weighs. Were
there no wastage, the total weight of the uncertified 1.8 oz fabric would
be just under 9 1/2 lbs. Given the large sections that had to be cut off,
I'm guessing the fabric itself weighed somewhere in the 8 lb range. Tapes,
gussets, thread, and glue would add a few more pounds, perhaps doubling the
total weight to somewhere in the range of 16 lbs for the whole airplane.
Even if this is off by a few pounds, it is still impressive how light
fabric covering is.
Cheers, Ken
