Subject: Pietenpol-List: stick-on bifocalsNot to beat this topic to death, but after someone posted that they got the little stick-on bifocals for $20 at Aircraft Spruce, I did a little Google search and found them quite a bit cheaper. In fact, there is a guy on eBay that has them with a "buy it now" price of less than $10 and in packs of 4 pair, too. Same brand as what Sporty's and AS&S have them for. And they can be trimmed to fit your lenses, if needed.Worked on fabric patches on 41CC yesterday. Good ol' Poly-Fiber smells. Got all the patches fitted, cemented on, tautened, and Poly-Brushed. A little heat smoothing, then I'll hit them with silver. She looks a little like a patchwork quilt on her belly, but soon will be good as new when the color coat goes on. Still working on the brakes (off the airplane) as well as I have removed the front cabanes for sandblasting, priming, and final paint. I think that will just about do it for paint and patching on this airplane!!!Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
