Concerning the flying struts, one thing that makes me feel better when flying mine and pulling a few Gs is the old Pietenpol fable (which may be true) that Bernard said that he designed the Piet so the flying wires between the struts will fully support the wings in flight even if all four struts fall off. And its not that hard to believe since at a 1100 lb gross weight each of the four cables would only have to support 275 lbs. Redundancy you don't get with a Cub or most other high wing with flying strut designs.

I want to corrosion treat the inside of the cabanes and am looking for suggestions. Steve D, I know you mentioned using CorrosionX on your Bonanza. Which version? How would you apply to the inside of the tubes? Thanks in advance for the suggestions. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Hi Terry, Linseed oil absorbs water. The whole reason behind boiled linseed oil is that it drives out the moisture, so you have only pure oil. Unfortunately, once you have opened the can, it begins the absorption process all over again. As it is stored, it collects more and more moisture. If you intend to reuse what you returned to the container it should be boiled once again to remove that water. Beautiful job on the welding. Keep up the good work. Be good, R.

However, my welding skills are extremely puny, so I found a great welder in town. David owns a custom bicycle business. I figured that, since he uses 4130 chromoly on many of his bike frames and he tig welds, he would be a good source, and he has actually been a great one. If any of you out there are looking for a welder, you might try going the same route I did. See if there is a custom bicycle shop or similar in your town. It worked for me. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=477463#477463 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
