Is that the 350-degree ironing? Pics are great. How did you fasten the wing tip to the stand?----- Original Message -----

Might be better once the snow melts and we can get down to the hangar where the fuselage is right now but let me know.Matt Paxton_woodflier(at)aol.com_ (mailto:woodflier(at)aol.com) ------------------Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2010 4:26 PMSubject: Pietenpol-List: New to listI'm new to the list and while I've been an A and P for 20+ years, I havenever built my own plane nor am I a pilot (yet).

Looks like beautiful workmanship. The pictures would be a lot easier to look atif you re-sized them to about 700 pixels wide. A free program like JPeg Resizerwill do that for you.Also, the Stewart System doesn't require anti-chafe tape on the rib edges and otherareas prone to chafe the fabric or require inter-rib lacing? I'm used toPoly Fiber that requires those extra steps. Maybe I need to switch.--------Al RiceSkybolt 260RV-9AHelping with my grandson's PietRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Progress Pics

Chuck,thanks for the concern,but gluing fabric to ribs is worse than solid landinggear with steel wheels.Besides its not approved.Dave--------Covering PietRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2010 17:49:48 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Progress Pics
