IMHO Resorcinol is the best glue Period for wooden structures (it is stillthe only glue the FAA certifies for use on certificated aircraft). It isalso a pain to work with, but I built nearly my entire Pietenpol with it.Aircraft Spruce & Secialty carries it, as do the better lumber companies(those catering to furniture builders). It makes a brown stain at the gluelines, which I think enhances the look of the laminations.Jack -----Original Message-----

Re: Kimballs/Falcon Props.Jim and Kevin Kimball sold their prop business some years back to some onein Oklahoma. I think Larry Williams bought a prop from the Okalhoma guy.Jim and kevin are quite busy with their Pitts 12 with the Russian radialengine.Our Chapter has our March Meeting at Kimballs and it is always a treat tosee what they are doing.Happy Thanksgiving!!!Lou Larsen----- Original Message -----
