Pietenpol-List: Milestone- Spray painting complete!

[matronics]

Original Posted By: "K5YAC"
Well boys, after many weeks, I have-now completed the final painting of NX929DH. This has been the least enjoyable part of the whole build for me. I guess because at this stage I am impatient, and painting is 99% tedious preparation and 1% spraying. I am happy with my results (Stewart System), not as good as it could have been, but there is a learning curve to spray painting with only one chance at it, especially when you are spending so much money per gallon (no opportunity for practice).-Now I am on to reassembly....what a joy it is!!!..... Finally!!!-......all the misc. parts I have been saving in the cardboard box under my workbench for up to 10 years. Last night made an inspection plate for the underside of fuse, because I was one short. Pretty easy to make and it took only two tries. -Still hope to make Brodhead. Advantage for me is Brodhead is so close I can include it in my fly-off area....takes a little more pressure off for the deadline. Really need to put some more run time on my Model A since I have only run it for about an hour.-Lesson learned from Douwe is that I will wait for a windless, sunny, high-pressure morning for the first flight, and resist the temptation to fly in anything but a perfect situation. The grass runway here is very wide and plenty long so plenty of opportunity to abort if I have to. -So keep working boys,...... little-by-little it all adds up.-Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Milestone- Spray painting complete!

Soon will come the day that we will all finally get to know Dan's secret colorscheme that has piqued many curiosities. What other color(s) go with that mauvetailgear? Enquiring minds want to know.Way to go, Dan. Must be exciting.Excellent plan regarding that first flight. Clear and calm, all the way.Bill CRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 09:13:29 -0400 (EDT)

Starting on my gear. I previously read in the archives (I can't find it now), somethingto the effect: "...with the plane on the ground, the straight axle ashblock is parallel to the ground..." Q- Shouldn't the block be parallel to thedeck angle (using the top longerons)? Or am I miss interpreting this?Also, I know the block angles should converge on the tailwheel/skid. Q- Is thisangle intersection precise, and if so what is the recommended location? Middleof the tail wheel, forward edge of the tail wheel, center point of the backof the fuselage? Thanks.Steve--------Stevewww.mypiet.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Milestone- Spray painting complete!Date: Tue, 04 May 2010 12:42:25 -0400

So, if you've abandoned the old color scheme, Dan, I guess you could share it withus now. I've got five bucks says the other color was going to be hot pink.BCRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Milestone- Spray painting complete!
