It is an update on Bob Dewenter's project, along with nice pictures. I hope that folks will click on the link, read Bob's update and send him some encouragement. Bob doesn't necessarily need encouragement to keep working, but it is always nice to hear just the same. https://flycorvair.net/2018/04/24/bob-dewenters-pietenpol-project/ -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=479552#479552 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:34:20 AM PST US From: Chris Tracy Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Center Section Good tip Oscar=C2- Chris Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Tue, Apr 24, 2018 at 9:02 PM, taildrags wrote: Dan; that is really beautiful work!=C2- Or, as they say in the south, "mi ghty purty!"=C2- You might think about making a modification to the backs ide of the flop bulkhead while you're still working on this and have the va rnish out.=C2- At some point just ahead of the bulkhead, you'll have a ba lance cable running inside the wing from aileron to aileron to connect them .=C2- On my airplane, that cable is not continuous... the cable is interr upted in the middle, the two pieces have thimbles nicopressed on them, and a removable link joins the two.=C2- In order to access that link, there i s an elongated opening that is visible in the aft bulkhead when the flop is lifted (see pic for approximate location).=C2- The oval opening has roun ded ends and routed/smoothed edges and is large enough to reach in and disc onnect the link.=C2- This has come in handy several times now, for removi ng the wings.=C2- Of course, in your case you might also be able to acces s a connecting link from inside the fuel tank bay, but! =C2- my airplane doesn't have a center section fuel tank.=C2- I can rea dily inspect the connecting link on preflight simply by lifting the flop a bit. -------- 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=479538#479538 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/x_over_195.jpg S - WIKI - - =C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- -Matt Dralle, List Admin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
