I believe that these tabs are to give more bearing surface for the fitting when on the ground.- When you look at it, at rest all of the engine weight is pushing the lower fitting aft.- These ears take some of the load off of the attach bolts.-Gene----- Original Message -----

Subject: Pietenpol-List: popsicle/craft sticks to glue TE on Gene-I like that idea very much. I too simply sanded the edges/beveled them at each end and by the time the coveringand edge tapes go on with paint and all they really don't look bad at all. I think you'll be pleased with the appearance ofthe approach you're using. (and integrity of the bond using that material.)Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________

I went today to the craft store thinking I could buy a batch of the wider (3/4"?) popsicle sticks. All they had was the 3/8" ones, which I already have. Maybe the wider ones are medical?? Anyway, I will check a couple of other places before I start hanging around the doctor's office. (my next door neighbor is a doctor, so could probably get from her anyway)Gene ----- Original Message -----

Gene,The wider ones are medical - known as "tongue depressors". Check under 'medical supplies' in your phone listings if your neighbor can't supply you.Kip GardnerOn Sep 17, 2009, at 3:52 PM, Gene Rambo wrote:> I went today to the craft store thinking I could buy a batch of the > wider (3/4"?) popsicle sticks.

I got mine at Aircraft Spruce (please don't boo me)... 3/4" x 6", box of 500, $10.75.http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/c ... s.phpThese may actually be cheaper than anything that might be packaged for "medical"use. You certainly don't want to pay for sterile type depressors, just theunsealed, loosely packaged craft type should do.--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:54:56 -0700 (PDT)

This may already have come up in discussion here so if ithas, I apologize in advance but I'malways behind on my reading so I'm just now getting aroundto reading my Sport Aviation with the Tailwind on the cover.Probably from March or April. Anyway, there is a shortarticle on a really nifty starter that uses a cordlessdrill driving a ring gear that bolts to the prop hub before the prop goes on. It's for older Continentals likethe A65s that so many of us have (as well as other enginesand airplanes with no electrics or provision for starters).A T-handle pull cablefrom the cockpit engages the drive gear from the drill atthe same time that the trigger is pulled, and a Bendixarrangement keeps the drive from breaking if the enginekicks back.Has anyone seen one of these or actually tried one? Theyare STC'ing the setup and it is supposed to sell for somethinglike $1500 plus another $800 for installation (or someamount like that). I thought it was very clever.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: popsicle/craft sticks to glue TE on
