Ben,I'm building an Aircamper here in Maine. Just starting with ribs thiswinter.Be careful with "paste-type" epoxies. You'll want the glue to flow into thejoint. Also, the pot life on the Fasco is pretty short.Al----- Original Message -----

BenI tend to like things the easy way. I bought a reject 36"x80 hollow core door from Menards for $5. I traced lines for 4 ribs at a time on one side of the door. After I was done building ribe, I laid out the tail section on the other side.For ribs, I laid wax paper under all glue areas. To start with, I used a stapler, but pulling staples is a pain. I bought a box of thumb tacks with the plastic ends. Easy to put in and easy to take out. This is assuming you are using T-88 and don't need the pressure that Recorsinol requires. As far as small inconsistancies from 4 moulds, I clamp them all together in the end and run the belt sander over the whole lot.Dick N.----- Original Message -----

I wear a WWII leather helmet I bought on ebay and goggles from aircraft spruce.I actually have 2 different helmets. One has a brow flap and the other doesn't.Without the flap my forehead gets numb down into the forties. If you arelooking for one make sure it has that flap, it makes a huge difference. Witha few layers underneath, the good helmet, goggles and a thick lined leathercoat with a big flip up collar I'm good down into the low 30's. Flew off of thesnow a few days ago!Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

GeneOne good addition is a hat liner for a cowboy hat to go under your helmet. You should be able to find them in a western wear store. They are Thinsulate. I wore mine under the hunting hat, kept nice and warm. Also, there are hand and foot warmer packs you can get, they are one time use, about $1 pair.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----
