I think I meant to say that the fabric supplies are just sitting there, not theother builders. No, wait... I think I was right the first time ;o) Check withJohn Latour and his building partner. They were working up at the EAA35 hangarand I believe their project is fabric-covered. Mr. Kuhlcouper is almost alwaysout there, too. Wait! He *lives* there!--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Covering

I'd add some anti chafe tape to that listThe covering on the tail is right in the slipstream and vibrates a ton. Cover thestructure where it'll wear the covering.You'll also want a strip over each rib on the outside of the covering so the stitchingdoesn't tear thruYou wife's iron will likely get something on it, don't ask how I learned this...Oh, and don't use a heat gun...DouweSent from my iPhone________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Covering

I have seen these same problems first hand. I have been working on building a newengine with the help of my engine builder and we have been worried about thenew aftermarket "China" pistons. Decided to have Ross make new forged pistonsand they said they need at least 9 thousandths wall to piston clearance. Alsofor a airplane running a prop he did not like how the thrust washers go in andthe bearing clearance for the insert mains. We are changing all. He also saidhe can improve the oil system a lot which we are doing. Got a new Scat crankshaftand rods which are way better than other new overseas made balanced crankshafts.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2014 21:32:58 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Covering

The Bearings are in the right position..the pistons are cast. I do understand the way the forged pistons grow more thancast pistons requiring more clearance. I'm going to open up the bores and tryit again. I like the idea of running the engine in my AA truck except for thedouble engine change. I guess really long ground runs will be in order.JeffRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Covering

Steve;Note that there is a distinction between "rib lace cord" and "sewing thread" inthe covering supplies. The rib lace cord is heavier. Don't use the lighterthread for rib lacing.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2014 15:40:20 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Covering
