Pietenpol-List: Corvair valve covers

Michael;You may have to try US Postal Service mail to Todd Miller to get yourself some valve covers, but I'm sure he's still in the business. When I got mine he also had some "seconds" that had casting flaws, at reduced cost.FWIW, using "People Search" whitepages, I got a different phone number for Todd that you might try: (641) 228-5682Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________WIN up to $10,000 in cash or prizes enter the Microsoft Office Live ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Wing RibsCongratulations Gene!! On ribs, use the Arrow JT-21 stapler. I prefurredSears stapels. they had a sharp point. The Arrow stapels had more of achissel point. After stapling gussets on one side, I found that I couldpop the rib out of the jig, flip it and staple gussets on the otherside. I found no need for the rib to cure in the jig.before removing it.It didn't deform. I made 3 ribs in one day back then. Staples can beremoved with a stake knife . Make an extra rib to hang on the wall ofyour hangar..or garage..or your bedroom, in full view above the headboard just in case you need to spice things up a little. The ribs arenot a drudgery at all. I found them quite fun. Leon S. In Ks. Longingfor sprig.________________________________________________________________________________

You can also use an ordinary office stapler. You don't even have to bang on it. Just open the stapler all the way 180 degrees or better yet remove the base. Then place the stapler right down on the gusset and press the staple in. Believe or not it also works pushing the staple through 1/8" birch plywood for the fuselage gussets.Also it's not necessary to remove the staples. their only function is to hold the gusset in place until the glue sets.Then when the part is varnished the staple will not rust.Roman Bukolt NX88XN (reserved)----- Original Message -----

RE: Pietenpol-List: Cold weather head gear

Wondering what everyone is doing for cold weather flying head gear? How did you make it or where did you buy it and how good (or bad) would you rate it? Last weekend was down into the 30's and it was a little cool on my head ( my windscreen is too short or my body is too tall).If you made your own head gear, how about some photos and instructions on how you did it? Can you use a head set with it?When I owned an Avid I followed the Avid list and thought it was great. Doesn't hold a candle to this group. What a great bunch of dreamers and doers! I'm proud to be a member.GeneN502R________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Cold weather head gearDate: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 14:49:22 -0500

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Cold weather head gearAin't got that frosty problem here in sunny FL, but recently bought viaAirspruce a leather fitted retro look Red Baron cap that incorporates theDave Clarks. Works great. They make one with a fleece lining. Was $70for the unlined and $75 for the lined version. Use retro-goggles fromHarley Davidson dealer-$35, leather flight jacket complete the get-up. At4000' gets kinda nippy on colder mornings but not 30F. Good luck withstaying thawed, or wait it out until spring and there's always the sunnysouth for the winter. Sure don't miss AK this time of year.Gordon BowenN-1033B based Palatka FLOriginal Message:-----------------
