Hate to bother you all with these amateur questions.1) On drawing two, there are cross section drawings of beams, braces, LE and TE.Do those apply to the vert stab/rudder as well as horizontal stab/elevator?I'm guessing yes; just want to confirm.2) How do I determine the size/profile of the wood on the edges/sides of the tailsection (rudder top/bottom, horizontal stab outer edges, elevator inboard/outboardedges)?3) when making the gussets, did you enlarge the drawing in order to maintain theshape as depicted?Speaking of gussets, I have a lot of mahogany from aircraft spruce I could use.Any problem with mahogany (getting ready to build ribs)? Photos indicate otherwood for gussets on tail section.Thank you for your patience with a newbie.--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Drawing two

Hi John,I don't have the plans in front of me but I think the rudder/fin dimensions ofthe members are the same. The tail surface plans are pretty complete, so thesizes should be there. As far as the size of the gussets... the idea is to getas much gluing surface area with minimal size, so try to get the gluing areathat the prints show. It doesn't have to be super precise and exact. Justmake them look about like what the prints show and you'll be fine. Mahogany?Absolutely! Very good stuff. It's stable and has excellent rot resistance.The only problem with it is that when you varnish it you really don't want tocover it!Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Drawing two

No bother at all-If I remember- I started with some square stock for all those edge pieces-I set up the fence on the table saw to make an angled cut on opposite sidesof the square stock so the piece tapered from the thickness of the main beamon one end down to the thickness of the leading edge at the other end. Then I set the fence straight set the blade height to leave the same size shoulder as the leading edge/main beam and , with what you determine To be the inside edge of the piece down, ran both sides through the saw again.That will give you a tapering T shaped piece that should work pretty well.--------Earl BrownI may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where Iintended to be.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Mike,I stand corrected. Although there are indeed some articles in Kitplanes, thereis a monthly column called "Flight Testing Techniques" in each issue of the ExperimenterMagazine, the online magazine produced by EAA-http://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/aviation-educ ... hivesThese are what I was thinking of. The best part is, the magazines are totally freeto anyone (not just EAA members), and downloadable from the link above.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GAUSMC, USMCR, ATPBVD DVD PDQ BBQRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2014 04:05:29 -0700
