Again=2C clarification needed on knots...The specs call for "outer 1/4 of spar height to have knots no more than 1/16 W in size - where W is the width of the spar" loosely quoted. When stating W in our case do they mean 4 3/4" divided by 16? Or are they saying 3/4" divided by 16? The sketch in the specs doesn't show W specifically but the reason I ask is that for the middle half of the spar height=2C the knot can be as large as 1/2 W in diameter - where W is the width of the spar. If this is true=2C that means you could have a knot as large as 2 3/8" (or less) and still be ok? That seems like it's a huge knot! Where as if W was equal the the thickness=2C it would be 3/8" - seems to make more sense to me.... Anyone clarify this for me?Tom B. ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:30:37 -0400Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: aluminum

You know, with a full castoring tailwheel and gooddifferential brakes you might be able to pull of aT-6 parking job. (That's a Harvard to us Canucks,son.)Clif The only time you want your tailwheel to fully castor (again in my opinion--there may be some other very good reasons why this might be wrong) is when you're going less than 5 mph. Now I am going to have to re-think this whole tailwheel thing. Darn! I thought I was all done with that!
