Subject: Pietenpol-List: Aileron piano hingeSpeaking of the piano hinge, does any one know where a guy can find thestraight wire in .90 in a length longer than the standard 6 ft. hingelength? I want to bend the wire as shown in the AS&S catalog (Cessnahinge ) with a loop to go under a screw to keep it in place. AS&S, andWIX sell the hinge wire separate, but only in the same length as thehinge. ( 6ft. ) I don't want to shorten the hinge to reveal enough wireto do what I want to do, and don;t have the patience, skill, or desire(or eye sight ) to drill a tiny hole ti install a nearly microscopiccotter pin. The exposed wire also is a nice place to grab the wire andpull it out for easy removal of an aileron. Does any one know whomanufactures these hinges, so that I may go directly to the source?

A S & S sells Music wire in .90 in any length, page 44. I would assume it would work but I'm sure there's someone on the list that would know for sure.Gene----- Original Message -----
