I'm drill holes in the spar for the center section in order to attach the wing and cabane brackets. When drilling these=2C what happens when you laquer the inside of the holes? Do we need to drill out a small fraction larger?Tom B. ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:29:38 -0500 (GMT-05:00)

Pipe cleaners work well for me. I actually wet soaked mine with epoxy varnish inthe holes and tapped the bolts through and snugged the nuts up. for better orworse-getting them out may a problem for someone someday but probably not meI hope.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Just wondering what other's thoughts are on more modern avionics?Obviously an intercom is pretty important, unless you where building a scout.What are others doing for Comm and Nav? Or maybe no Nav? Transponder?I was thinking on a hand held NavComm. That way I would not always have to haveone with me. As in if I was just flying down to my dad's grass airstrip. I also am considering some sort of hand held GPS. Maybe one of those that run offof your palm pilot.

[Idea] You can also use linseed oil. Good penetration into the wood and no buildup in the hole. One can use a squeeze bottle with a nozzle to apply it.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:15:01 -0400
