    Subject: No worry "kitting" for wing
    From: "bdewenter" <anonymouse@woh.rr.com>
    This subject came up again in another thread....If "kitting" means mass production of the roughly 15 individual pieces to make a rib, and the gussets, I completed my entire wing kit in about 4 hours total work. So for any lurkers out there thinking it takes a bazillion hours, don't fret any longer. By using a miter saw, and a stop block how long does it take to cut 35 or so identical pieces of spruce? Rinse lather repeat. A 24" x 8' foot section of 1/16" aircraft grade ply goes into roughly 20 7/8" (or so) x 8' foot strips in under 5 minutes with a table saw. Then 10 so of those get taped together and run under the afore mentioned chop saw to make gussets "masters". The masters get formed into finish parts using some simple hand tools like a tin snip. You will want to mark some large baggies to hold your rib pieces and some plastic containers to hold the 1,100 (+/-) gussets that come from the single sheet of ply. Its all quite enjoyable too! -------- Bob 'Early Builder' Dewenter Dayton OH Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=438418#438418

    I wholeheartedly agree. It is not very difficult or tedious, although my techniques were a bit different. For the wing rib gussets, I cut them all out with a 2-inch hole saw. Then trimmed with snips to halves or quarters, at the proper angles, as I used them. Lengths of capstrip were cut to length, then finished to proper angles (again as I used them) with a 12-inch benchtop disc sander. Piece of cake. The most tedious part was in getting only one rib completed per day. I used T-88 and clamping pressure only (no nails). So I could only process one rib overnight through my rib jig.

    Subject: setting up a Push to talk intercom
    I have a Micoair with a built in intercom and I have a two way switch (push down to talk to the person in front and push up two talk to the world). From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Steven Dortch Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2015 4:52 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: setting up a Push to talk intercom Hello good people! I have a sigtronics intercom and would like to set it up with PTT for intercom, not voice activated. I don't want to spend much money (My wife says I am cheap, I say I am frugal.) I want it so that both the pilot and passenger have to push a button to talk to each other. I would like the passenger to be able to hear my radio transmissions. I want to install them on the stick. I have a grip with buttons for both intercom and radio (and bombs, rockets and guns!) for the pilot. (I have a wood knob that I can drill out for the passenger.) How do I hook that up? I do best with pictures. -- Blue Skies, Steve D
