Shad, I cut a groove 1/16 wide X 3/4 deep and epoxied the aluminum hinge in the groove.Then I put 1/8 stainless pins vertical for insurance against the epoxy turningloose. Thus I have full length hinges that will double as gap seals. Imade the edges where the hinges go 1/2 wider so cutting the groove didn't weakenthe structure. I think it would have been fine without it though. I will crossdrill the hinge on each end to retain the hinge pin with little 1/16 cotterpins.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009wing, tailfeathers doneusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/pian ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: wood source

I don't know if any of you are looking for wood right now, and this is a copy ofa post on another site I watch. but it might be of some use to someone. RaymondMcCormick Lumber in Madison WI sells Sitka Spruce for less than A/C Spruce or Wicks. It is aircraft grade but not stamped aircraft grade. in other words they check it for knots, quarter sawn, number of rings per inch and deviation and runout and sap and compression etc. I think it comes in 20 rough sawn boards I bought 2ea 9 x 1 and had a friend of mine bring it back on his way home from OSH. It cost me $180 for the 2 boards which was almost enough to make my wings. The EAA used it in their replica of the Spirit of St. Louis. They will ship it freight too. here is their web site http://mccormicklumber.com/Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:11:41 -0700 (PDT)
