    Tom I searched the archives for a picture and couldn't find one. Can you share one? Are they stainless? Thanks!

Let me know if you're interested, and I'll cut a 3", 4", or whatever length you need. For my purposes, I'm going with a 4" bending setup like the one Curt Merdan showed in his pics. > > -------- > Tom Kreiner > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435489#435489 > > > > > > > > > >

    Huge step forward in getting the People's Piet in the air! Very exciting. I worked out a nice easy project plan that had me finishing the fuse and starting on the wings right after the new year. It's really great to be well ahead of schedule and still not feeling rushed. And covering is FUN!!! Oscar...I better not EVER find out you were in the area and DIDN'T stop by!! Or any of you'se guys for that matter! Especially now, there's a LOT of painting to get done! LOL Hope the Holidays are good for everyone! Jim in Pryor

    Steve, If you are hunting a deserving recipient think of me. I would put it in a prominent place on NX510JD's panel. Looks mighty good. -------- Jerry Dotson First flight June 16,2012 Flying in phase 2 Lycoming O-235 C2C Jay Anderson CloudCars prop 76 X 44 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435523#435523

    Sorry Jerry, I just want advice before I start trying to correct for deviation. It is only about 5 degrees off and that is close enough just to use a correction card. After I get the plane up and flying I will probably come back and try to adjust that out. Keep you eye out. Some sell for up to $800. others much cheaper. As far as rebuilding, They use an Airpath kit. Airpath says refill with odorless mineral spirits.

    Jack, The pic of the Die is attached although not all the dim's are shown. If you need additional info, I can measure the die, and add additional dim's. The material is alloy steel, probable 1018, or thereabouts. There is no nose radius, so I'm going to add one for my own bending, maybe .09 or so. Bending our U shapes fittings should be pretty easy with this. You will need to procure or mill a VEE block, as I don't have any of those. -------- Tom Kreiner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435544#435544 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/gooseneck_die_181.jpg

    I'll take a 9" length if that is possible....? My press brake has a 9 &1/8" opening - so less than 9" is ok but it can't be greater. THANK YOU...! Let me know how to get the funds to you. -------- Jake Schultz - curator, Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435547#435547
