Howdy, Pieters;Question came up over on the KRNet about how long to let paint cure before applying graphics such as N-numbers and striping. I'm sure it varies depending on the paint used; this one was a paint used on boats (International Paint Inc "Interlux #4359 White" polyurethane single part enamel). Any ideas?Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

This not an article for purists, but for someone looking for a project to get backin the in a relative short amount of time. I have a PGN-2 that has the bestof the GN-1 and the Piet put together in a unique way. Anyway, I had a hardlanding and have decided to sell the Piet. In all that have looked at it, it isagreed that it is repairable. I have the rib jig that came with the plane. Ihave all the plans and records that have been with the plane from the beginningof the building. The engine is a subaru E81. The prop was busted, but the lickseemed to have been absorbed by the reducer that has a back bent plate. Itis a 1.84 ratio. There is some damage to the right wing. Left wing is ok. Somedamage to landing gear and fuselage. Tailfeathers are ok. Price of $1500 includesinstruments, wheels, brakes, engine and reducer. The only think to buyis a prop. I will consider selling it without instruments or wheels and brakes.If you would like to see pictures, email me offline. I remember the fuss whenthe net gets loaded with pictures. I will email photos of the project.Doyle CombsP. O.

Re: Pietenpol-List: fuel tank sealer.
Original Posted By: Rick Holland
My fuel tank is welded, but I added the sealant anyway. When I built that tankI fabricated, rivited it together then took it to a welder. He welded over therivits and seams. When I pressure tested it there were a few pinhole leaks,which he repaired, but that drove me to use sealer. At the time, I figured itwould give some added protection against leaks. I will be keeping watch onthe condition of the tank and if necessary, replace it. I have to make two moretanks for my new project anyway. I have an expanded center section on theproject, with 32" wide space for fuel (18 gal cap) and seperate tanks gives addedsafety.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----
