| Subject: | !/4" bolt in 5/8" wood? |
If I'm reading the GN1 plan right (I'm applying this to my Pietenpol), I'm supposed
to put a 1/4" bolt into a beam which is mostly 5/8" wide (going first through
the 1" wide edge), so 1/16" margin on either side. Then, once the nut is
on, I'll have about 1/16" left (7/8" wood + 1/16" washer) and I'm not sure if
I'll get the minimum one full thread sticking out.
If this is correct, should I reinforce the beam with 1/8" ply where the bolt is
only 1/16" away (on top and bottom surface in this photo)?

| Subject: | Upper Brace Wire Fitting |
The plans (page 2) show 23" from the center of the horizontal stabilizer to the
center of the fitting. If I do that, the spruce strip is in the way, almost exactly
there.
Do I raise the fitting 1.5"? Or do I lower the strip?
What did you do (if you came across this)?
Thank you.

My airplane has the static tube running to a "real" static port on the side of
the fuselage, but I doubt that it would make much difference if it just sensed
static right out the fitting on the back of the instrument, behind the panel.
It's all kind of relative anyway... since we're all using different airspeed
indicators and generally positioning our pitot tubes in slightly different locations
and making them out of different things.

Clif's going to be making some nice moose sausage! Push chunks of moose into those
exhaust pipes through the perforated tips, maybe mixed with some pork, and
out comes some sausage ;o)
Clif, there aren't any sound level requirements for aircraft registration in Canada,
are there? Or for spark arrestors?

Just looked at the plans and you're right, several things all come together right
there, including the rudder hinge. If you move the brace wire attach bracket
up 1.5", I think there will be interference with the top of the hinge or its
attach hardware. If you lower the strip, about the only harm done will be that
the rows of horizontal stitching and pinked tape won't be evenly spaced up
and down the stabilizer. If you've already built the wood parts, I think I would
lower the brace wire bracket, because that 23" dimension is most likely not
critical structurally.

Not really, just hopefully intelligent practice.
The son of a man who built a Piet in 1932 on Vancouver Island
built one of them RV spam cans and his exhaust is four short,
direct pipes straight down from the heads of his O-320.
Somehow I think mine will be somewhat quieter. I'll be running
the 290 at quite a low rpm anyway.
It's all experiment anyway. if it's too noisy I'll just make something
different.
Speaking of engines and meat , Many years ago, early 60's, A friend's
older brother was working on his hot rod. The hood was up and he
went inside for whatever. Coming back out he jumped in and hit
the starter. WHOOMP!!SHUDDER!SHUDDER!! stop. It turns out
that his little sisters cat had decided the open,warm 4 barrel was just
the ticket for a snooze.
Ah, the good old days. I was there wasn't I?
