Mark,Your fix sounds good to me. Since it adds little weight, you could go with=BC=94 .Re fuselage varnishing. I think the consensus is=85 there isn=92t a consensus,except that it penetrates well and is a good product that is compatible withyour covering system=92s glue.I=92d say most guys over-varnish, but unless you=92re worried about a tiny bitextra weight, who cares? Myself=85 I=92d varnish with a thinned coat to reallyget it penetrating the wood and then a second full coat.$.02Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

Tom: good hints, and better than you can imagine because here at the Medford airport,the CAP hangar is immediately outside the gate to my rows of hangars. They have a 172 but not a newer one. I'll inquire to see if they have the trainingprogram.If I go to the Cessna dealer (Jet Center, next door to the CAP hangar) and pretendthat I'm interested in a new Skyhawk so they'll let me play with the 1000in it, they will just ask me, "hey, aren't you the guy we saw washing down thefuselage of an old open cockpit fabric airplane the other day? Haw, haw! Doesthat thing every fly? Haw, haw! What kind of nav instruments ya got in her...a sextant and a pirate treasure map? Haw, haw! Whatcha want with a glasspanel?

Thanks Douwe.Based on the look of Re-Piet, I'd say I should follow what ever advice you giveme!I hope my bird looks as nice (in it's own rite, of course!).I should go slow and enjoy the process. It is not a race, and when it's done, Iam not sure which plane I will build next, as for me, it is the building thatis the pleasure... Flying will be fun too, but building is a creative processthat I crave.MarkRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: "RE-PIET's" first kinda decent videos
