I don't know about sanding.- It is hard to tell from photo, but you might need to pop the false spar loose and shim it straight before reattaching it.

The first image shows a pretty straight joint however the second shows how the hinge is bowed about a 1/16 of an inch along its' length.

Yesterday, I spent an enjoyable afternoon and evening with Jim Boyer, wherehe graciously allowed me to tinker with him on his engine. We set thestarter, and timed the distributer. He's not too far from running his enginenow!Afterward, Jim & Arlene took me out to dinner.What a deal! I might quit myjob and do this full time!In typical Pietenpoler fashion, Jim offered me his Warp Drive prop while Ire-carve a new one, as did Kevin Purtee.

Dave;Although it will never be a Pietenpol (always a Grega), it looks beautiful! Youhave made a tremendous amount of progress in just a year. Welcome to the AirCamper/Aircamper fleet, one of the few places where slower is better, olderis cooler, and you will always get more attention with your airplane on the rampthan any RV will ;o)--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:
