Re: Pietenpol-List: Wing tip brace question
Original Posted By: "Rick Holland"
Use a horseshoe-shaped piece of 1/4" plywood glued to the spar face andposition the end of the 1/2" x 1/2" brace in the 1/2" x 1/2" opening ofthe "horseshoe". This setup captures the brace and the relatively-large glued surfaceagainst the spar face provides lots of shear strength. It has workedfine on my Pietenpol for nearly 36 years.A simple butt joint will not work, against the spar face or against theinside of the tip bow, where extra glued area will be needed to hold thebrace in position against fabric tension.Graham Hansen Pietenpol CF-AUN________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 1 May 2006 15:46:57 -0700
