Sorry for bringing it up again, but I went out and bought a Volmer Sportsman that had been finished in 1967. The rear end had been sitting in the snow and had gotten quite saturated. The man I bought it from said he had done some repairs to the rear end of the plane with Gorilla glue. For anyone who is interested, I will bring some samples of this along with me to Sun n Fun. I will cut up some small sections and who ever wants to can try disassembling on your own. From what I've seen, I am not at all impreessed. IN FACT I WOULD SAY DO NOT USE IT.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________

Better than what? Where are you planning on mounting it? Mine is under theleft wing, secured to the jury strut and extends about a foot in front ofthe leading edge. The problem with a fixed pitot tube is that at highangles of attack it doesn't see the full ram air pressure so it reads low athigh angles of attack. Not really a problem as you get used to seeing whatthe airspeed indicator reads and fly accordingly.In reality, I fly the Pietenpol much more by feel at high AoA. The airplanetalks to you very clearly.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC-----Original Message-----
