In fact he made it 1/4 inch too large and had to redo it to fit in the "c" section. I also am showing you my fuselage center 6 gal tank I got from ALUMINUN GAS TANKS .NET that you can buy at a good price. Ted ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:13:25 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Fuel flow question From: Steven Dortch If you are really interested in making sure that you get the fuel at increased angles of attack, I noticed at least one Piet had two fuel drains on the wing center section tank. One up front and one to the rear. My wing tank only has one about the middle and if the wing were at an "extreme" angle would not access fuel at the back of the tank. The "Main" tank is in the "header" position like a cub. The drain is on the lowest part of the tank. Based on this conversation, when I first fill the Wing tank I will do it a gallon at a time. When the gas comes out the port, I will know what is not useable when landing or taking off. I cannot imagine the plane being a much more of an angle than it will be in setting on the ground. I may have an SOP of never landing or taking off on the wing tank. Just use it in cruse. I will probably only use it for long trips anyhow.

I'm still interested in learning from the experience of others what type and weight of leather works well and good sources, I'd prefer to use real leather, even though Nauga jokes last forever. A couple of folks, on and off-list, suggested I try Tandy Leather. That surprised me, because I had thought, erroneously it turns out, that Tandy had disappeared from the marketplace years ago. It also turns out there is a Tandy Leather store about a half hour from where I work. From their website, it appears that they carry cowhides, but I see no mention of other types of leather. They carry it in a variety of weights. Any thoughts on what weight is appropriate for coamings? Another reply was to use deerskin. That appeals to me, but I'm not sure where one gets that type of leather, short of asking politely of a local deer if I might borrow his. Suggestions?

(GRC-RXD0)[Vantage Partners, LLC]" Subject: Pietenpol-List: deerskin Ken-I had good luck with using deerskin. I'm sure your local hunter coul d point you in the right direction to find some. Tandy leather is the last place I'd look for this kind of material since as you've said they deal mostly in the thick stuff. Usually you'll find some hole in the wall place around town that deals in l eather goods, scraps and they will let you (from my few trips out doing this) rummage thru reams of stuff they either don't wan t or can't use. Mike C. ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 02:00:52 PM PST US From: "Jack Phillips" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Leather coamings I bought an entire cowhide of top-grain leather, fairly thin and soft (about 1/16" thick - I have no idea what grade it was) from B&B Aircraft Supply from Kansas City. They had several of them at OSH several years ago. It was probably about 2002. I remember that I paid $110 for it and it was enough to do both cockpit coamings and upholster both seats, with quite a bit left over. I'd give them a call and see what they can do - I'll bet they are cheaper than Tandy.

One of the nice things about deer hide is you can almost stretch it some to get it looking nice. As long as you wipe it occasionally with mink oil or neetsfoot compound (as you should with all leather) it will last as long as your Piet. You may have the occasional bullet hole to work around though. Check here for some hides. You might have to look past some of the "capes" for mounting if that's not your thing... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC2.A0.Xdeer+hide&_nkw=deer+hide&_sacat=0&_from=R40 Don Emch NX899DE Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=417841#417841 ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 02:51:10 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Leather coamings From: "curtdm(at)gmail.com" Gary, didn't you cut up a leather coat?
