    Wanted to share some recent progress on "The People's Piet". Covering and painting is FUN!!! One picture of before paint and one of after paint....right side up and bottom with access panel uncovered facing the camera. One is of the blue tape effort at finding the curve I wanted. Replaced with holding a thin strip of 1/16" ply around that same general curve and marking it with a pencil. Worked on THAT layout for the last 10+ years and like it a lot. Should have the fuse painted and back on the gear by the end of the month (October) then on to the wings! A bit of varnish here and there and they'll be ready for covering. This is an incredibly fun part of the process! Jim in Pryor

    Okay, Jim, now you've started an argument. Airplanes with Sherwin Williams on them fall out of the sky. The only paint that should ever go on an airplane comes from Benjamin Moore. :) Seriously, looks great.

    Thanks everyone for the compliments! I'm using a foam brush and doing multiple cross coats. Around the curve I used a bristle angled brush but the rest is foam. Painting on 95+ degree days was challenging but seems to be working out ok now that the temp has dropped. Maybe you can tell from the attached that it leaves a bit of a brush line but I like the look. I do have an HVLP setup and would prefer using it but the time involved is an issue. With a foam brush I can go to the shop, add a cross coat and throw the brush away. No real clean up if I want. I've found that I can make a LOT of progress if it's easy to get to. Of course, I've gone out for a "quick" 15 minutes of painting and came inside to a dark house at midnight. But what fun! Wait, what? If I spray it won't "fall out of the sky"????

    Subject: Re: lift struts 2
    From: "dgaldrich" <dgaldrich@embarqmail.com>
    Clif I think it was Jack Phillips that said you divide by the cosine of the angle between the struts and the spar to get the tensile load on the strut. Example: 30 degree angle (cos = .5); lift required = 5,000 lbs. Total tensile load 5,000/.5 = 10,000 lbs. To the original question, if you assume the rear struts and the cabanes take NONE of the load, that leaves about 4,000 lbs for each of the load bearing struts. With an angle of 30 degrees between the struts and spar, the tensile load is 8,000 +/-. In theory, the struts should be good for 9 G's in tension. Now compression is another subject...
