Hi Oscar,It has been in the teens here in upstate NY for some time now. Below zero at night.Only flying I have been doing is in the shop.I agree with your choice of hand wear. My hands get cold easy so when it getsreally cold I wear down mitts with knit wool gloves as liners. This allows meto take my hand out of the mitt and have use of my fingers for a couple of minuteswithout them loosing their heat.

I learned aerobatics out in Southern California in an open-cockpit airplane when I was a lot younger. Even in the summer, over Malibu, we needed to wear gloves. I foolishly made a molded control stick grip then that still fits my hand like a glove. That was the problem: I wasn't wearing gloves when I made it, and it didn't fit when I put my flying gloves on.So if you're making cockpit controls, see if you can use them while wearing gloves.Another man built a nice Fly-Baby. He had a clever cover. It snapped around the cockpit rim at the level of the longerons and just below the instrument panel. The cover had a jacket collar and zipper. He'd get in and zip it up and from the neck down, he was in a closed-cockpit airplane. He said it was very comfortable, flying with that.David Paule>> Hi Oscar,>> It has been in the teens here in upstate NY for some time now. Below zero > at night.

I'm not an attorney, but here goes anyway:More than likely, you'll find that while it might be entirely possible to fight off a lawsuit, you have no way to prevent someone from filing one in the first place. And fighting one off will not be cheap. But the probability of being sued is low.If you make the wood parts to match someone else's design, that adds a layer to your possible defense. If you design the parts too, then that adds to your potential liability.It might be worth seeking business liability insurance, so that in the unlikely event you do get sued, you've got some deep pockets on your side.Other than that, get the business started. Fear of failure prevented more good ideas from being realized than actual negligence.Now these are merely my own suggestions, and as I mentioned, I'm unqualified to give legal advice, and besides that, this is FREE, so you know what it's worth. But I've started and run two companies successfully. One was an aerospace structural analysis consultancy (where I never even bothered with the insurance), the other was in real estate management (where I do carry insurance).David Paule ----- Original Message -----

Hi Steve They don't need to be heated but they should have a small radius to the bend to prevent cracking. Most metal brakes that I have used do not have a means of making a radius=2C they make a hard 90 degree bend which is not good. If your brake doesn't make a hard bend then you're good to go.

Steve,To prevent cracking while bending the parts, make sure the bend radius is at least1 material thickness, and up to 3 thicknesses. When I bend thin sheet materials(less than .25 thk.), I generally use 1.5 to 2 thicknesses as the bendradius.BTW, when you cut the pieces, make sure the grain of the metal is perpendicularto the bend line. Bending parallel to the grain almost always causes cracking,and reduces the strength of the finished part. After bending, inspect with a loup to make sure no cracks have formed. If thereare any, discard the piece, and remake it, using a larger bend radius.Any pieces that are going to be flight critical, i.e., cabane, engine & strut fitting,landing gear brackets, etc., should have all edges sanded smooth (almostpolished) after bending. This will help prevent crack propogation from theedges of the piece. My company, KCS Development, is in the process of putting together a complete Pietenpolmetal fitting kit, which will be manufactured using all of the abovetechniques, and more.Please feel free to contact me offline if I can be of assistance.Tom Kreiner--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I found when squishing the ends of tubing for the rudder bar I would get cracksand poor looking ends when done cold. Heating to red and using a piece of 0.090slipped into the end during the squish made a perfect looking end.If you dont already know Tony Bingelis has a series of good articles on makingfittings. See Sport Aviation 9/1980, 10/1980 and 11/1980.
