Well today was another milestone day for my project. I have both ailerons matedto the wings using aluminum piano hinges. I did a lot of checking and recheckingto make sure everything was lined up properly before I started drilling. Everythingworked out great! Everything is in line and the hinges work freely.It was very satisfying to slide the hinge pins back in and have everything fit.Right now I have the hinges mounted with some temporary pan head screws with washers.There seems to be plenty of clearance when I move the ailerons to the bottomof their travel. I was wondering though what the typical down travel ison the ailerons? Right now with the thicker headed temporary screws I am gettingabout 3 3/4 inches.Richard SchreiberIn cold Valparaiso Indianalmforge(at)earthlink.net________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Learning to weld @ Sport Air workshopsBill,I also attended a TIG welding Sport Air EAA workshop at Griffin. It was WELL worth every penny and more. They give you the perfect mix of theory and practice. It is all spoon-fed to you right there. The beauty is that you have instant feedback from the expert. This makes all the difference in the world and you can learn at lightning speed. I had a different instructor but he too was an expert that welds at Indy. He worked for Lincoln as an instructor. I agree with the writer of that piece that you linked. I owned a Lincoln 175 square wave machine for months before that but was just guessing on a lot of stuff. BTW I also attended the Sport Air fabric covering workshop. Very good also.Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL.**************Play online games for FREE at Games.com!
