This doesn't mean that I wasn't active. Fuselage is on its wheels now, almost finished with the turtledeck, I finished the wing spars, they are plywood/wood, some of the cabane struts and lift struts are finished, some still wait to be shaped. Thet are all plywood, carbon, wood. It is not that I don't like aluminum or steel, the reason is they are simply not available here. I also designed a tailwheel with angle release. I didn't make it yet. In a few weeks, I am hoping to put the wings together. Ribs were ready years ago. Engine: C90-8F. I had an A65-8 originally. A few months ago I found a C90-8F from a junkyard. Bought it and started working on it. I completely disassembled and cleaned whatever came. Now I am at the stage of putting it together. I weighed the conrods and found differences as much as 1/3 ounces on the opposing ones (ie. 1-2 and 3-4). I balanced them down to 0.01 grams (0.00035 ounces). I will do the same for the pistons and hope for an engine with less vibration. I will not use shellack on the crankcase. I will use Loctite 518. I will also use the silk thread. I made two test pieces, one with shellack and one with Loctite, definitely Loctite is better. Bad luck, it wasn't available 70 years ago. I also made a jig for the engine mount. I made the parts and cut the tubing. I hope to start next week.

It will be a beautiful airplane. As for shellac, the oil gallery plugs on the front of my engine were installed with shellac as per the Continental manual and at the annual inspection I found one of them weeping oil just a bit and the other one not tight in its threads. As to using Loctite on the case seam, I am not an A&P and do not know what constitutes acceptable methods, but I'm with you... we have far better materials available today than shellac. I am very grieved to hear of recent disturbances and unrest in Turkey. My wife and I have visited various ports and cities in your country several times and we always found the people to be hospitable to us. We are sorry that tourist travel to Turkey is presently not recommended due to the unrest. -------- 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=458578#458578 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:58:00 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: BPA Newsletter From: "taildrags" Just got my copy of the Brodhead Pietenpol Association newsletter in the mail today. Wow-! Jack Phillips put together a really nice compilation of common changes to the Air Camper design... subtitled "To Change Or Not To Change?" Nice job, Jack! Also a beautiful cover photo and centerfold of Bob Coolbaugh's "New Piet", Two-Two-Victor-Yankee. Very striking and nostalgic color scheme, and he sure isn't going to lose it in the parking lot! -------- 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=458602#458602 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:01:49 PM PST US From: Ed KTOWN Knouse Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Clif's Piet July 2016 Q2xpZiwNCg0KSSdtIGFib3V0IHRvIG1vdW50IGEgTWFqb3Igb3ZlcmhhdWxlZCBPLTI5MEcgKGNv bnZlcnRlZCkgdG8gIlRoZSBQaWV0eSBQcm9qZWN0IiBpbiB0aGUgbmV4dCBtb250aCBvciBzby4g DQoNCkkgd291bGQgbG92ZSB0byBwaWNrIHlvdXIgYnJhaW4gb24gVyZCIGFuZCBhbnkgb3RoZXIg aW5zdGFsbGF0aW9uIHRpZGJpdHMgeW91IG1pZ2h0IGJlIGFibGUgdG8gb2ZmZXI/DQoNCkNoZWVy cywNCktUT1dOIA0KRWQgS25vdXNlIA0KIlRoZSBQaWV0eSBQcm9qZWN0IiAoYWthICJUaGUgRmFi dWxvdXMgUHJpbmNlc3MgRGkiKQ0KTy0yOTBHDQpXaXJlIHdoZWVscw0KDQpTZW50IGZyb20gbXkg aVBob25lDQoNCj4gT24gSnVsIDIzLCAyMDE2LCBhdCAwOToyNywgQ2xpZiBEYXdzb24gPGNkYXdz b241ODU0QHNoYXcuY2E+IHdyb3RlOg0KPiANCj4gVGhhbmtzIEphY2suIEl0J3MgYW4gTy0yOTAu DQo+IA0KPiBWZXJ5IG5pY2UsIENsaWYuICBXaGF0IEx5Y29taW5nIGlzIHRoYXQgeW914oCZdmUg Z290Pw0KPiAgDQo+IEphY2sgUGhpbGxpcHMNCj4gTlg4OTlKUA0KPiBTbWl0aCBNb3VudGFpbiBM YWtlLCBWaXJnaW5pYQ0KPiAgDQo+ICANCg= ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 10:00:45 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: OSH - Tools From: "tools" Keep an eye out for an old fire truck!!
