Here is a very good link in regard to arguments for stainless steel or Derlin orNeoprene tipped needles in Stromberg carbs. The link mentions fuel additivesin auto gas is not specific to what additive except with a brief mention of alcohol.I'm still trying to locate the info I found on the additives MTBE andTAME and how is affects plastic and neoprene.http://www.bowersflybaby.com/tech/strom ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Elevator/rudder hornsDate: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 11:20:21 -0600

Yes, just cut them out per the plans, roll the edges (I hammered them over a1/2" diameter steel rod), bend up the flanges and edge weld them, then drillthe holes. They are fun to make, very light and very strong. I don'tunderstand why anyone would use flat steel plate horns - too heavy.JackRaleigh, NCCovering the last aileron and getting ready to start re-painting NX899JP -----Original Message-----
