      We let you good Americans fly your N reg aircraft here indefinitely as long as
      it is insured and your license is current.
      
      We have N reg aircraft based here permanently and can even obtain a US license
      here to fly them!

      English Johnny, I have a British Pietenpol question.
      
      Y'all have to build to engineering approved plans. The British approved
      plans have one jury strut on the front strut. WHY? In the US, I see jury
      struts on both struts. Why the front strut?
      
      Some background, a local with some homebuilding experience is adamant that
      putting jury struts on a Piet is a engineering disaster. The "result" will
      be the wing being too stiff out to the strut attachment and it will fold up
      at that point.
      
      I am putting Jury struts back on mine. First, they were on before and the
      wing did not collapse after 20 years of flight. Second, my  study of FAA
      Pietenpol accidents show Zero wing failures. Indeed Zero structural
      failures in flight! (there was one accident where a flying wire broke and
      several Gregas has pushtubes fail. causing accidents.) There are
      discussions of Struts folding under negative Gs (IE hard landing) and that
      is the reason for the Jury struts.
      
      I also understand that the jury struts should not be centered on the strut
      as that lends itself to a harmonic vibration.
      
      Blue Skies,
      Steve D

      Jeff,  
      
      I just use my trim to relieve stick pressures during level flight.  The stick pressures
      change a lot in my plane during fuel burn.  I have a 10 gallon nose tank
      and a 12.5 gallon center section tank.  When the nose tank only has 5 gallons
      or lees in it I am very tail heavy.  This is when I need the trim the most.
      Your question regarding trimming during landing is a definite no.  I tend to
      not make approaches in a straight line.  I will usually be in a turning slip
      to final much like you see people do in a Pitts or other Biplanes.  I don't even
      notice the stick forces during landing.  Oh, It's nice to have during climb
      out too.  
      
      Not sure if that really answers your question, The plane isn't stable enough to
      ever let go of the stick anyway.
      
      Cheers,

      I used the PolyFiber Epoxy varnish on top of polyurethane, throughout the
      airplane.  Polyurethane spar varnish (1 part) is cheaper so I used it for
      the first coat, then put on a top coat of epoxy varnish.  My landing gear
      struts are left just as (epoxy) varnished spruce and have taken a lot of
      abuse in the past 10 years, with no degradation of the finish.  I love that
      epoxy varnish!  It is expensive, but not in the grand scheme of things.  I
      spent about $200 on epoxy varnish for the entire airplane.  That's a pretty
      small percentage of the $15,000 I spent building it and well worth it to
      protect the structure, in my opinion.

      I was wondering if anyone made some sort of varnish filled 'bath' or container
      into which a rib is placed and removed to dry, instead of brushing.

      I've seen several photos where the outboard sections of the center section end
      ribs and (inboard) wing end ribs are covered with a full size gusset; the Hatz
      Classic does it that way. I don't see that on my plans, so wondering if I missed
      it or that's just become the norm.

      John,
      
      I believe it's good practice to thin the first coat about 50% so you get better
      penetration into the wood...I just brushed mine and did a little sanding between
      coats.  Yes, it's a pain and takes a long time which is what scratch-building
      is all about!
      
      John F.

      Hi All,
      
      
      I would like to update the Wiener Dog Aero website with info on your 
      latex projects. I've added a page on my Titan Tornado as an example 
      http://wienerdogaero.com/TitanTornado.php.
      
      Now I would like to add more pages with your info. If you have a Latex 
      painted airplane and would be willing to share you info, would you 
      please send me:

| Subject:  | Re: advice on trim mechanism | 
      
      
      I am finishing up my rudder and stab. I like the simple Ray Allen Trim Servo. Install
      it in the elevator just like you would a RC Servo and push rod. For power
      if I do not have a starter battery, I will power trim system  with a lipo battery
      along with my hand-held and GPS. 
      
      (On the same subject of controls) I have looked at the geometry of the elevator
      system and it does not work out. Do the control cables sag as you change stick
      position. If you move the control stick forward 15degs. and back 15 degs., the
      cable push and pull is not even. This is because the cable on the back stick
      connection comes under the 2" pulley, and the front cable goes over the top
      of the pulley. The cables from the bell crank to the elevator do not work out.
      they hit the front of the horizontal stabilizer and sag.  What can be done to
      fix this? Is it something to worry about. The bell crank on the original plans
      under controls calls for the bearing to be 9" off the bottom. On the extended
      fuse update 7-1/8". In another area it calls out 7". The lower it is the more
      it rubs.

      I don't have a latex paint project per se, but I do have a test setup that I was
      working on, in case you want to include a link to it: 
      
      http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/paint/paint.html 
      
      I still have the test coupons and I need to set them up outdoors to see what a
      year of weathering does to them.

      Thank you Jack and John. Finally have rib jig done and gussets/sticks cut, so about
      to make ribs and then I'll varnish them.

      I used a nautical product called Epiphanes on my gear legs with very good re
      sults. No experience with UV or wear and tear yet but sure looks nice. It's m
      eant for canoes and kayaks so I expect it should be quite resilient.
