Happy new year ... I just looked at your pictures. You are a very good craftsman.
Your airplane is fantastic. Keep up the good work and post more pictures.
Are you flying it yet ? You seem so close to finishing.

This has been a challenge I wasnt expecting during the build. Ive used tape, rubber
bands, paper clips, wedges and anything I can think of to clamp glue joints.
It keeps my mind working and I hear that is a good thing. Happy New Year
all!

I have had the same experience.

My TE is a tongue and groove design and it was held on with electrical tape while
the epoxy dried.

I found the cheap plastic bar clamps from Harbor Freight to be great for building
with epoxy. They are cheap, do not clamp very tight, they are cheap, the epoxy
wont stick to them and they are cheap. Did I mention they were cheap? This
way if they get wrecked you can toss them.
To date no nails have been harmed in the building of my plane.

Howdy=2C low 'n' slow fliers=3B
It sure has been quiet on the list the last week or two! Well=2C as the co
ntroller says on the radio=2C "Experimental Four-One-Charlie-Charlie=2C wha
t are your intentions?"... I'll put this out as one of my early New Year's
resolutions: it is my intention to sell my Air Camper in 2014. Not right
this minute=2C but in a few months.
Besides a pair of kayaks and a rowboat that I'm waiting to get started on
=2C I have three other aircraft building projects in various stages of comp
letion waiting in line after it and I only have one hangar=2C so Scout will
be scouting for a new home. I have about 5 months to get it in shape to m
ove=2C and that means wrapping up the tweaks that I've been putting on it
=2C getting a fresh annual condition inspection=2C and getting in some last
fun flights this spring before I fly it down to Frazier Lake for the West
Coast fly-in in June. I am planning to make that a one-way trip down for N
X41CC=2C with the hope of leaving it with its new buyer there or someplace
in that vicinity. I will also fly it to a new buyer's location if it's alm
ost anyplace in Washington=2C Oregon=2C California=2C or Nevada.
I know these are not the best of economic times so if I don't sell it in Ju
ne=2C I will probably hangar it down at Hanford in care of my friend Pat Pa
nzera until the KR fly-in happens down in Chino in September=2C then I'll f
ly it down there for that event as well as to see if anyone is interested i
n it down in SoCal. If it doesn't sell at Chino=2C I plan to fly it over t
o Casa Grande Oct. 23-25 for the Copperstate fly-in to see if I can find a
buyer for it there. If it doesn't sell there=2C I'll probably fly it back
to Hanford for the winter. In any event=2C it will be for sale in a few mo
nths and I'll post more information and links to a webpage with pictures at
that time. Meanwhile "move along... there's nothing to see here!" =3Bo)
I'm not giving up on Piets=2C not leaving the Piet list=2C just planning to
move on to other things and I also want to share the joy of Pietenpoling w
ith someone who has the interest in flying these really fun little airplane
s and who understands Scout. In my hangar I still have all of the plywood
=2C spar stock=2C and other wood needed to construct the bones of another A
ir Camper. I also have a complete new set of landing gear legs and bracket
s with spoked motorcycle-wheels/tires and brakes=2C a tailwheel=2C pulleys
=2C and various other bits needed to make a good start on another Piet. I
have the templates and prototype for making all-aluminum=2C non-rib-stitche
d wing ribs with gapless=2C hingeless metal ailerons for Air Camper wings
=2C so who knows if I'll jump into that project somewhere down the line.
Happy 2014=2C and here's looking at you=2C kid!
