Thankyou folks. My next question is where did you all get the steel springs?

Charles,
In the text below the picture of the spring, William notes: "The springs
are available from A/C spruce for about $100. Their rating is 1200
pounds per inch. They are 1=B3 ID, 2=B3 OD, and 6=B3 long
."

I used these in WW Landing Struts.
They are great and provide good shock absorption.

Hello, Jack Textor recomended me the following to seal my tank:
Hi Mario I thought riveting would be easier than welding. I used pop rivets and
sealed with something like proseal. Here is where I got it. I used the quart.
http://vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?ident=1377849717-132-612&browse=misc&product=proseal
I've tested with air and it looks ok.
may be can help.

My son poked a pretty good hole in his oil pan on his car and I drained the
oil, cleaned the hole with alcohol and sanded around the hole. Then applied
JB Weld. After it dried for 24 hours I sanded it again and applied another
coat. Never had a leak after that and he had the car for 6 years after that.

I'd weld it, but that's just me. Problem is, if you don't fix it, every
time you see oil, you'll wonder if it is the pinhole or something more
serious leaking.

Might be worthwhile removing the tank and inspecting the inside. The pinhole may
be the first external sign of more widespread internal issues. Regardless
of the repair method (I side with Jack) it'll be easier to clean and prep with
the tank on a clean workbench. You've published pictures of your shop so I KNOW
you're workbenches are clean.

What Dave and Jack said. You will be proud you did. Repair and forget it. I have
no problem with JB Weld. It is good stuff.but if it were mine I would braze
it up.

| Subject: | Re: More notes on CG, axle location and weight |
I gave William all of my W&B information, along with measurements, when he was
assembling his database of Piet CGs, axle locations, and weights, so I'm not providing
any new information here... just repeating another data point for those
who do not have the complete listing of all the airplanes that William and
others have put together. Since the stated purpose of the Experimental category
for aircraft is for research and education, I'm certainly being educated by
the research that is being conducted here and would like to help with that as
well.
NX41CC has an empty weight of 636 lbs., an empty CG location 12.2" aft of the wing
leading edge datum, and the main gear axles are 5.8" aft of that leading edge
datum... certainly not within the 0-3" range recommended by Mr. Pietenpol.
The wing on my airplane is canted aft by pivoting on the cabanes, 3.5" if I
remember correctly, but you can already see that my airplane fits "the pattern"
that William is trying to point out.
My airplane has brakes and it has been on its back, but the proximate cause of
its ending up there was that the landing gear folded up after a weld broke during
an engine-out, off-airport landing to an unimproved field.
My airplane now has an A75 but it previously had an A65 and I have experience carrying
passengers in both configurations. The point that William was trying
to make with one of the questions in his "quiz" is that climb rate is a factor
of excess thrust, and excess thrust is defined as any that is available over
and above that which is required to overcome drag. My airplane with the A65 had
enough thrust to overcome the drag and make some climb, but the A75 has more
excess thrust and so can produce better climb. Put 90-100 HP on the nose and
that's 15-25 HP of even more excess thrust that can be generated and you see
that anything you add is going to be excess and can contribute to climb (with
the right propeller).
Switch off again.
