Subject: Pietenpol-List: Nails-wing fittingsGalen: If you use aircraft nails there is really no need to remove themunless you just want to. I used hardware store brads and staples whichhad to be removed. I made nailing strips from luan as you described.It worked great. For tail brace wires I'm using 1/16 cable with somesmall turnbuckles that I got in the Oshkosh fly market. Jim I've lookedat those wing fittings too and decided they probably should be 7/8 widerather than 1" as shown on the plans. The weld will probably make up for1/8" difference. This is just another one of the MANY, MANY mistakesthat BHP never bothered to clean up.
