This might be really dumb question but when I'm tack welding parts together that are bolted to wood structure, for example the landing gear mounts on the bottom longerons, how do I prevent scorching of the wood or damaging the glue joint?Thanks for the help.- This is my first wood airplane.--------Al RiceSkybolt 260RV-9AHelping with my grandson's PietRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... 2#322132le, List Admin.=0A=0A=0A ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2010 21:38:55 -0800 (PST)

One of our newest members, Charles Campbell, sent me this message off-line. Does anyone have any words of wisdom to rectify this situation? Thanks.Dan, I am having some trouble with the Piet list. I am receiving E-mail OK but all my outgoing E-mails are being blocked. I can't send a message to matronics at all. In fact, when you asked for an E-mail address to contact BPAN I sent you an E-mail that was rejected. Could you investigate this for me? I paid my "dues" last month so that shouldn't be the problem. Thanks for anything you can do for me.

Mock fuselage? Mock fuselage? We don' need no stink'n mock fuselages!! You should all be ashamed of yourselves, expressing the "need" for a mock fuselage. Any self-respecting genuine devote' of Bernerd Pietenpol would never consider second guessing the original design of the BHP Aircamper. Just build it to plans, and you will be assured, the results will be superb. Dan Helsper, puristPoplar Grove, IL.-----Original Message-----

N1709R is finally back in the air. After 600hrs of labor and a few thousand dollars,the airplane flew for the first time (again) after being brought back tolife from being neglected for the past 10 or so years. (It is interesting tonote the size of the giant tail. The original builder didn't think it had enoughrudder control, so he enlarged it to over double the normal size. Now ithas lots of rudder authority, but looks somewhat cartoonish in flight. At first,I didn't like it, but it is growing on me (no pun intended).Thanks for everyone's input and help.Looking through some very old photos from my wife's grandparents, we noticed apicture of a barnstormer who landed in a field in a Jenny and took my wife's auntfor a ride. The next year he was back in a Ford Tri-motor in the same fieldin the Amarillo area. So, for our Christmas cards to the family this year,we re-enacted the photo with the Piet and had them printed in the Sepia colorto look old. They turned out pretty good.CharlieRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/step ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Welding Question

So, besides the mock fuselage, I guess we'll have to fab a jig for a mock aileronpulley mount and probably several others. I guess Tucker and I better getmovin'. Thanks for the help from everyone.
