Subject: Pietenpol-List: Routing SparsJust finished my dinner after a day in the shop routing the right wing spars. Wish I had done one from each side. That would be finis. I think it would be less time consuming if the pilot were to just simply go on a crash weight loss program. I'm doubting if this routing business is worth the effort. I'm plum tuckered out.A very tired Piet builder in La especially in this 102 temp.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 18:58:41 -0700 (PDT)

I may be taking off the top of my head, but I believe that an "I- Beam" hasthe same strength as a spar without the routing. You save a total of 16 lbs.(that's a lot of weight saving). I wish I had done it, as I came in a littlehigh. It's the top/bottom 1" that carries the load in tension andcompression. The web in between is useful to separate the two 1" . Today Iwouldn't even hesitate, I'd route.Regards,Domenico________________________________________________________________________________
