The choice of resin binder system is what determineschemical compatibilty in a composite material. There are several choices- epoxy, vinyl ester, polyester, melamine, thermoplastics... the list goes on,all depends on the product. You would have to test. If in doubt and you wanta rod for a specific purpose I'd suggest McMaster Carr or some other place soyou can buy something that can be identified.Amsafetyc - what do you mean you doubt it is even gas after 45 days...? Ethanolor methanol and gasoline are compatible and don't react. If they did there wouldbe quite a few consumer warnings to drain auto gas tanks and not to storelawnmower gas for longer than a month.Mike--------Piet-builder-who-hopes-to-be-flying-next-summerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: To All the Newbies

I just cleaned all the garbage out of that list 2 days ago and it's back again!I'm going to use the snow excuse to get out of work early today and fix that problemonce and for all. The real problem is that I tried to make things easilyaccessible so you wouldn't need an id and password. I'll have to lock it downand release a general id and password to the whole list. Maybe while I'm atit I'll add in different options for sorting the list and a search so you canfind people by name/location.--------Glenn ThomasN?????http://www.flyingwood.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

On NX18235 the rudder stops are placed so the rudder won't hit the elevator.Aileron stops are installed but are pointless since the stick hits my legs before the stops.No elevator stops installed.I know you asked for measurements but since no two are built alike.....Greg C. ----- Original Message -----
