From: "PoconoJohn2" 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)?

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.

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. -------- 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=495999#495999 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:51:48 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: What is this on the drawing page 2?

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. -------- 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=496001#496001 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 11:39:51 PM PST US From: "Clif Dawson" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: What is this on the drawing page 2? 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? Clif "Life," said Ray Bradbury, "is trying things to see if they work." Did you know that no man, or woman for that matter, has ever gone into a hardware store wanting a drill bit. What they really wanted was a hole. > > Clif's going to be making some nice moose sausage!
