N2RN simply has the nuts squeezed in there, so there's enough room, just barely.I've been referencing the display bare bones Piet in the Piet hangar as OSHwhile building my tail feathers at Pioneer, it's got access holes cut in thegusset plates.Third idea is what I saw on the hinges of the J1 Standard wing I worked on, ithad the nuts brazed to a plate, which made the whole mess a lot easier to workon. Also, the hinges could be removed for covering. It would prevent you fromhaving to get a wrench in the tight spot on the very outboard hinge bolts.The plate was held in place with brads like those used on the gusset plates. Workedreally well.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Speaking of TGWP....

Sorry, a bit anticlimatic, but here's the J1 (the only shot I have) I've been helpingwith at OSH. I thought this picture was newer than it is. We fussed andfussed over how to paint it...Like the guy who flew this bird and donated it to usLike the military trainer it wasLike an airmail variantLike a period authentic barnstormerOR, you guessed it!It now sports "THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER" down the side of it. I always thought thosewere Jenny's, but apparently they were Standards, so that's the way we went.The top wings got painted just a few days ago, so it's going pretty fast now.I'm hoping I can talk them into bringing it down to Brodhead some year.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: covering systems
