After th e sanding and polishing process the results are nearly as good as spraying. Both methods, spraying and rolling have their advantages. Spraying gives the best finish, it=99s faster for big areas, and requ ires less sanding to smooth the orange peel. But, you need spray equipment and a paint booth the contain the over spray, and you need to mask parts th at you don=99t want painted. Rolling is faster for smaller areas and requires no masking other than alon g edges, it needs no paint booth or equipment, there=99s no over spra y. But, it requires more sanding to remove the orange peel and while the re sult is quite good it=99s probably not quite as good as spraying. Have a look at the video and let me know what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhlxE3EFcCQ Merry Christmas Malcolm Morrison www.wienerdogaero.com ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:23:30 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: The Sheppard From: John Egan <1smilingmoon@gmail.com> ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:46:37 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: The Shepherd From: John Egan <1smilingmoon@gmail.com> Hello Piet Builders, With hope, I've attached a link to a U-Tube video that I hope many will enjoy this season. CBC Radio broadcasts this story every Christmas Eve. I've also attached a photo of my Pietenpol project to ensure this email is not off topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2_bLEqmBi0 *The Shepherd* relates the story of a De Havilland Vampire pilot, going home on Christmas Eve 1957, whose aircraft suffers a complete electrical failure en route from RAF Celle (note: in fact, Celle had ceased to be an RAF station less than a month previously) in northern Germany to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk . Lost in fog and low on fuel, he is met and led (or shepherded) to a disused RAF dispersal field by the pilot of a De Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber of World War II vintage, who has apparently been sent up to guide him in.

It goes like this: Santa was getting the sleigh, harness, and reindeer team all ready for Christmas delivery time but before the rig would get signed off for the flight, the FAA inspector had to go over it and Santa would need a checkride to get current. As Santa went inside to get his logbook and paperwork all in order for the inspector, the head elf snugged the last of the harness buckles as he worked his way aft to the sleigh, and then he watched as the inspector took right seat and cinched down his seatbelt. Suddenly his eyes got as big as saucers as he noticed the inspector tucking a shotgun down under the blanket that covered his legs for the open cockpit ride. Noticing the surprise on the elf's face, the inspector turned to the elf and winked as he whispered, "Santa doesn't know this yet, but he's going to lose an engine on takeoff..." -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=436144#436144 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 04:52:20 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: FAA checkride From: "curtdm(at)gmail.com" I'll be home for Christmas! -------- Curt Merdan Flower Mound, TX Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=436146#436146 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/image_878.jpg ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 05:35:23 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: Pietenpol-List: 2014 List of Contributors Dear Listers, The 2014 Matronics Email List and Forum Fund Raiser officially ended a couple of weeks ago and it's time that I published this year's List of Contributors.
