Subject: Pietenpol-List: Full creditPieters,In my announcement of completion of NX41CC I failed to acknowledge the part of co-builder Joe Czaplicki of Zion, Ill who sold me his project in July 2000. Joe's work was great and following him was a pleasure. He saved me about 5 years, which I'm not sure I have in the longivity bank.The tail number is N X 4 1 Czaplicki-CorkyThanks again JoeCMC________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Pietenpol-List: glue test pieces for ribsHi, I have talked to some people who have built entire rib sets without making any test pieces. They just physically took one of their ribs and bent and twisted it until they were satisfied that it was strong enough. I have taken a few small triangular pieces and tested them to destruction in a bench vice. The T-88 glue joints held and the plies in the aircraft quality 1/16 plywood gussets sheared. I would like to know what most of you have used for test pieces for your ribs. I was planning to make up 3x3x3 triangles with gussets on each corner. I am planning to make one test piece per rib and maybe a few extras. Does this seem reasonable or does anyone have any better suggestions? (Am I on the right track?)Thanks for any helpNorm Decou________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2002 18:40:18 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: glue test pieces for ribs

Norm,What I did for test pieces was,,,every once in a while I'd have extra glueleft over. I'd just dig behind the band saw and get some scraps and stickthem together. Next day put the date on each with a pencil and throw themin a box under the work bench. This way at the end of the project, you gotwhat you need. as far as weld samples,,,got quite a few boo-boo's ofbrackets that don't fit, and do overs. Throw them in the box too.walt----- Original Message -----
