Mikee-Next time you see the pilot who was flying during that video,would you mind asking him about the fuel quantity? If yourairplane has a tank up in the nose and a float-and-rod stylefuel level indicator, it looks to me like there was very littlefuel in the tank during the flight. If that's just a ventcoming off the top of the cap and there is a fuel quantityindicator somewhere else, I didn't spot it. Anyway, the guy inthe video isn't any crazier than I am... typical airspeeds andaltitudes for my kind of flying.Yes sirreee... it's cooling off down here in TX, too. It's notsupposed to climb past the 80s all week! I have the ReklawFly-In plotted out for this weekend but a lots of ducks need toline up in a row for me to be able to take 41CC over there. Thefirst duck may fall this afternoon, since I'm scheduled to takemy biennial flight review and will be legal to fly again.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Doin' Some Ribs

The nails are just to hold the gussets in place while the epoxy cures. The nailsprovide no strength to the ribs at all. I just went to Harbor Freight yesterday and purchased a 23ga pin nailer also, andsome 1/2" pins so that I can start on my ribs soon.

The link that John Kringle posted above is precisely the model that I picked upin my local Harbor Freight store yesterday, and it was $19.99 as listed on thewebsite. I had to go to a local big-box home improvement store to find the1/2" length pins, though. A box of 3000 cost $6.79, and 3000 pins will last along time. I do a lot of other woodworking stuff around the house and shop too, so I'll beusing the 23ga pin nailer on other projects, albeit with longer pins for themore substantial projects. I also have an 18ga finish nailer/stapler for theprojects where the pin nailer won't suffice.--------Billy McCaskillUrbana, ILtail section almost done, starting on ribs soonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 10:35:21 +0800 (WST)

Does varnishing the ribs count as coating the pins?

Varnishing the pins or staples is not enough. There is enough residualmoisture in the wood to eventually corrode the staples if they are notcoated. Galvanized staples may work though.Rick Schreiber> [Original Message]

The 23ga pins I bought are Paslode brand from Home Depot, and look exactly likethe ones in the photo that Tucker posted. As small as they are, and given thatthey will be driven through the uncured T-88 when nailing the gussets in place,I think that the rusting will be minimal if it even occurs at all.--------Billy McCaskillUrbana, ILtail section almost done, starting on ribs soonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Doin' Some Ribs
