Subject: Pietenpol-List: Maybe you already knew thisDick and other interested Pieters,Maybe someone out there is as unknowledgable about this airplane building as I was/am. For instance, I called to place an order with Wicks for the Brush and Spray I'll need for the covering of NX41CC. While talking to the lady at Wicks my blood began to rise in degrees while thinking about that damn hazard fee. When she told me it had jumped from 15 to 20 the 1st of the year I exploded. She CALMLY suggested that I might like to order the stuff in quarts. I asked what difference would that make. She again very calmly said, there's NO HAZARD FEE when you buy it by quarts. I of course said loud and clear, SEND IT IN QUARTS. Now I know most of you know this but by chance there might be a loner out there that's as dumb as I.I ordered enough Poly stuff Monday morning to take me through 3 sprays and 36 yards of 2.7 Dacron from Superlight. It was ALL on my porch this afternoon. Now if that Fedman will get up here and do what he is to do then I can begin to cover so my test pilot will be busy in July, I hope. Now if EAA and AOPA will get off their ---es and start pushing the Feds for the Sport pilot issue to be released ole Corky might just get to fly Charlie Charlie before his kids send him to the nursing home. I'm really afraid it's to be a big political splash at some big fly- in in August so credit can be claimed.Corky in La WHERE we were born and raised amoung some of the slickest politicosthis great country has produced and it's very easy to spot those amateur slickers.________________________________________________________________________________

Ray, I used Aerolite years ago to build a Taylor Titch. Great stuff! Putsome red food dye in the hardener so you KNOW you've put it on one side ofthe wood. If ya don't see pink, the joint will stink!Be sure when you mix the powder to use warm water - it mixes better. Mix itto a bit of a thick consistency, and it will fill any gaps you may haveleft. If you sand a joint, be sure to remove all dust - I usually used afile for this reason.Good luck and good flying!Craig----- Original Message -----
