Pietenpol-List: Oxy/Act torch

[matronics]

Original Posted By: "Pilot78"
Looking quickly (emphasis on "quickly") through Section 2 (fabric covering) ofAC 43.13-1B, I didn't see anything that said that wing butts must be covered,but I did find a reference to the manner in which overlapped and doped seamsshould be dealt with for wing butts. So, they do tell you what you should doIF you cover the wing butts with an overlapped and doped seam. I have attacheda copy of the pertinent section.I think the main concern would be ensuring that the fabric is securely attachedto the airframe, and that there is no chance that the fabric could come looseover time, and likely the easiest way to do that would be to cover the wing butts.Although, if built to the published plans for the 3-piece wing, the wingbutt will have a 2 inch wide plywood strip, which would provide a good amountof surface area for fabric adhesion.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/4313 ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Oxy/Act torch

Group,I have a nice Oxy/Act torch set up with Victor torches and attachments, but I findmy large torch handle is a little awkward to practice my welding with. Severalyears ago at Air-Venture my brother and I attend a couple of the weldingclasses and they had mini torches for Oxy/Act welding. I don't know if theywere Victor brand or Uniweld. Can anyone recommend a good mini torch? Name brandand model number? Thanks.BrianSLC-UTRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Oxy/Act torch

I bought this one off e-bay. It was shipped promptly, arrived undamaged and worksbeautifully. I've used it for stainless and in AC mode for aluminum. I thinkI got an awesome deal.http://www.ebay.com/itm/WSE200P-TIG-AC- ... eb1470Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Copying is the sincerest form of flatery.ClifBut then;A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool. (Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton) Well.......time will tell if he has in fact copied my color scheme exactly. Not that I necessarily approve of that behavior, but it would prove his good taste and his ability to copy important features of those who came before.

What about moving the engine foward instead of the wing back. If you put the increase in the front most fuselage bay this wouldn't change the wing or landing gear fittings and would give more room in the front cockpit?Mike McGowanLong fuselage Model A fat pilot ----- Original Message -----
