Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fuselage strutsI am thinking about using biscuit joiners on the white ash struts. Anyone have a comment on the use of these things ? They are small (1/2"x1") I have been watching Norm (TOH) use them on furniture for years....How about airplanes?Thanks for any advice.George________________________________________________________________________________

Also those ash struts areused mainly in compression.Now the smallest size biscuit may be useful in the butt joints in the seats.Skip, taking my Piet project for show and tell to chapter 1025 pancakebreakfast tomorrow morning. ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 18 May 2002 09:05:41 -0400
