As a bit of additional trivia, I have since discovered that the #139 Federal Yellow is also referred to as Federal HIGHWAY Yellow, and is the color that is used to paint those stripes that you see on every interstate highway in the country.One more piece of trivia, but it's Piet related: there is a new Oshkosh/Brodhead update on William Wynne's website, http://www.flycorvair.com , including pictures of "The Last Original", Mr. Pietenpol's personal Corvair-powered Piet.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Wing AssemblyDate: Wed, 3 Aug 2005 10:32:32 -0400

glue the vertical piece to the spar. The load is carried in shear which isthe best for glue.chrisBraumeister und Inspektor der Flitzer und Flitzermotoren----- Original Message -----

If you correctly position your spars parallel and the markoffs for the ribpositions on the front and rear spars are accurately held in a line normalto the spars, then tweaking during tramelling should be at a minimum and itis safe to glue the vertical to the spar from the outset. Importantly, itis also necessary to have all the capstrip in the same plane. You don'twant one rib a little high on the spar and the next one a little low as thiswill present an uneven surface for the fabric and the leading edge plywoodand will be unsightly.Those at Brodhead should have noticed the 4-6 foot long sanding boards thatwere being used to "level" the Sky Scout wing capstrips in the Pietenpolhangar on the front row, west end.ChrisBraumeister und Inspektor der Flitzer und Flitzermotoren----- Original Message -----

John,The square will not be able to be used with the ribs in place. Secure afour foot 2 x 8 or so board upright on your table at the root end normal tothe long axis of the spars. Secure two uprights to this board making a slotto capture one of the spars' root end. Use a little bit of trig todetermine the position of that spar's tip at the wingtip end so that thespar is normal to the root board. Secure two more pieces of wood to thetable, making a slot for the spar at the tip end. By pushing both sparsagainst the root board and dropping the spar into the slot at the tip willensure a glue up of a true wing.The wing should be glued true. The trammelling is to ensure the wires don'tpull it OUT of true.ChrisBraumeister und Inspektor der Flitzer und Flitzermotoren----- Original Message -----

just thought I'd share a video I shot and edited today using my robotic unmannedhelicopter/camera rig.the gyro stabilizer on the camera mount smooths out the motion VERY well. thisdamn helicopter project is keeping me from the GN-1 but hey.... it's fun andthe GN-1 can wait. I'll finish it one day! Besides this thing ought toprovide income where the GN-1 likes to burn it up! http://www.azchoppercam.com/portfolio/v ... ight.wmvDJ Veghwww.azchoppercam.com________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Wing AssemblyDate: Wed, 3 Aug 2005 15:11:07 -0500
