With today's modern fabric coverings with inspection plates and rings, is thispiece of plywood no longer needed? I looked at a few wings on WestCoast Piettoday and didn't see it.Thanks--------John FrancisRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc0 ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: ELT?

I found this explanation from another site that explains it well:You can fly without an ELT if you have a single seat airplane or if you stay within50 miles of where the aircraft is based. You're legal if you install a 121.5ELT. The issue is that the satellites are not monitoring that freq, so your121.5 ELT doesn't have the utility it once did. You are then relying on otheraircraft to hear your ELT and/or the CAP cadets to find you.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Obsolete Part?

I'm thinking the inspection rings put into the covering is the modern day equivalentto this part.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Article in Museum of Flight Newsletter...

Oscar I think it's stock J3, came without cap. Threads are 2 21/64 and 2 23/64.The ID is 2 1/16. Would like to use screw type.Sent from my iPadJack TextorOn Oct 28, 2012, at 11:00 PM, "taildrags" wrote:> > Jack; are you going to use a threaded cap on it?

Jack,You're going to have better luck determining off site whether a cap will fit ifyou describe the threads in terms of threads per inch. Just put a ruler up toit and count them in an inch and specify the outside diameter.Can't remember if you count the first and last threads or not, so count the threadson a 1/4-20 bolt (or other known quantity) to get the procedure.Making one isn't really difficult should one not be available. Do you have a secondstub the same as that one? Using it as a gage while machining would ensurea good fit.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
