Would enjoy hearing how others cut and fabricate polyethylene. Is there a glue that works with it. I've used my band saw and knife. Plan to use it for my rudder cable routing. Thanks!

Nylon for my fairleads. There is no way to glue polyethylene securely. I may have some pictures of how I did my fairleads. If I find them I will post them.

Leave a flanged face to adhere to your fairlead bracket. Try this Youtube video for the adhesion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8UZhWml0Wg. The gun is a common 3M DP100 cartridge unit.

They are made to fit in a short piece of =C2=BE=9D tubing, which can then be welded to a plate that can be attached to your structure. I used them throughout my Pietenpol. Here=99s a picture showing how they are mounted: And here=99s a picture showing a closeup of the mount: Jack Phillips NX899JP Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of John Cox Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2016 1:13 PM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Working with UHMW You can lathe the finished part.

I just wanted to review the various methods before proceeding. I'm actually using pulleys below the seat, then the fair leads with an AN742-12 clamp. Then UHMW as the cables exit the fuselage. Now I just need to get going on the tail wheel cable routing. Thanks again! Jack Jack Textor Sent from my iPad > On May 21, 2016, at 8:40 AM, Jack Textor wrote: > > > Hello Piet friends.

The plans call for this piece to be attached to the fuselage a few inches ahead of the stiffener as indicated in the drawing. Why is this done?

I have a top cowl piece that goes from the front 'instrument board' to the firewall and that cowl piece has the front cockpit windscreen on top of it. The stiffener goes across the top longerons where the lower ends of the cabane brace struts attach to the longerons. I don't think there is anything magical about where the 'cowl support' attaches but I could be missing something. Builders with a wing tank might have a better answer for you. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=456432#456432 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
