Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Help me finish this *&*&%$ boat.Mike, I'm not to sure what you mean by "butt joint" on the hull, but if youare referring to the plywood skin on the fuselage sides and bottom youshould scarff them at a 10:1 angle. We used Finnish birch plywood on ourproject and this comes in 2'X4' pieces if I remember right. So we had tosplice in order to get pieces big enough for the 6' sides and belly. Wespliced them together first, before cutting to size and it was notparticularly difficult to do. We did make up a sanding scarff jointer asdescribed in one of Tony Bingelis' books and it went pretty fast. Ithink we could have done a nicer job using a small plane and rasp,however. But anyway, it's done and looks OK. It's also plenty strong.John LangstonPipe Creek, TXnle97(at)juno.com________________________________________________________________________________
