I used two zippers in a V-shape to provide access on the bottom. Its easy, lightand inexpensive. I can also get my upper body up in the fuselage to look around.I did this with Poly-Fiber system and now with Latex paint and all seemsgood. Wish I could claim the idea, but it came from Don Wolf and the BoredomFighter design.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: West systems

Well I received my prop today from Cloudcars. and talked to Jay some on his tipsfor doing the finish work.he was very helpful and says I should lay a fiberglasscloth on the backside from station 21 out with west system epoxy. I knowsome on here have used it but I have not. I did find dealers in the DFW areaand probably will be down there next week. it seems pretty pricey and I probablyonly need a small amount. but anyway if anybody can give me any tips on a goodplace around there that might sell or maybe a boat shop I might get a littlefrom instead of the quart kit for over 60 bucks I'd be glad to hear it. Iknow it must be very good quality- maybe it soaks in better than other brands?he will send me some pictures in a few weeks of one he is finishing up for someoneso I can better see the process but I figured I'd better get some materialsgathered up when I can- nothing like that brand available in the Texas panhandleas far as I know- at least not their dealers.

Just for you Tools, as requested. Here is my plane with the B1 Bomber at Edwards AFB.. Between 1993 and 1995, I don'tremember anymore. It was taken at about 7 am before the other 100 or so homebuiltsand public showed up. The armed guards were very nice about it. It isamazing how well Pieters are treated. Do any of you have similar photos? With other special aircraft. I myself wouldlike to see them.--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_ ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Scott Liefelds Piet and B1 Bomber

thanks- that looks like a good alternative. I think if I don't locate a dealerthat has it in stock next week I'll order that 101T kit. I'd think it likely wouldhave all the product I would need.
