Ok Dick.I will call you in a few weeks. Are you using the plans supplied by ThePietenpol family? Are they the same ones that are printed in the Flying and GlidingMag reprint from 1933. Or are they actual plans with a little more detailto them? I have not ordered the plans yet. I have a couple of engines thatI'm working on dismantling for at least one good one. Are you going with traditionalwood or Steel tubing?Thanks much,BERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: High quality PIET construction

That is brilliant.FWIW, I use modeling clay for in places like you mention. Started using heavygrease in auto applications, and morphed to the clay which works better and inmore places.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Hey Ray When something is grounded it electrically doesn't matter the shielding is therethe to prevent the magnetic flux from radiating any further than the shielding.Grounding to the same ground as the Mag is great make sure that all groundsare common. Engine, fuel system . Metal cowling, I'm probably going to kickthe hornets nest on this but anything made of metal needs to be grounded. Any metallic object and a lot of plastics can radiate rf energy and cause staticprobs. just my $.02Sent from my iPhone> On Apr 28, 2014, at 10:20 AM, Ray Krause wrote:> > > Quick question, and I know this has been covered before...BUT:> > Should the shield of the shielded wire from the mags to the switches be groundedon BOTH ENDS, or ONLY ONE END; and if one end, WHICH END?

I think the weather willbe the most challenging part, It always is for me that time of year. I'm going to keep believing that you will be there. I want to meet you and seeyour wonderful flying machine. Keep plugging away at it.Cheers and see you in June,--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: High quality PIET construction

Very high quality... just look how tight the fit is between the rib pieces. Andhe don't need no stinkin' nicopress! Wrapped and soldered cable ends. Butwhat's with the highly finished wood parts that will get fabric covering? Don'tyou get a better adhesion to bare wood?--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Magnificent construction. I envy the workmanship. But I wonder about the added weight of those layers of finish needed to get that glistening shine.Lorenzo ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: High quality PIET construction
