Subject: Pietenpol-List: nicopress sleeve sizes Hi Mike,What is the difference in the crimpers(Nicopress) I thought an oval m is the sameeither way, telephone or aircraft.Do you know or does any one else? I have access to telephone one with 4 bays onit labeled G,C,M,PThanksJoe MotisJoe--you're' EXACTLY right about the telephone nico tools vs. a/c ones-- they areTHE SAME ! In fact mine was maderight here in Cleveland (tho I ordered it thru Wicks) and has cast in it "ClevelandTelegraph Company" or similar. I guesswhat I meant is that some of the ones you see on ebay and the like only have one'bay' or spot or maybe two bays fortwo different size nicopress sleeves but the good ones have FOUR slots/bays forthe various sizes of nicopress ovals out thereand that's probably the best bet for an aircraft builder since it covers the gamutof various cable sizes you might need to work on.

Just ordered my Piet plans. I didn't order the full size rib layout because I've heard a few people say that it is not quite correct due to the anomalies of copiers. Do the plans have the ordinates to loft a rib template from?Doug Dever_________________________________________________________________Hotmail=AE is up to 70% faster.

Robert=2CHave you looked into System Three clear coat epoxy? I put cedar tongue and groove siding on the front of my house and coated every piece with the stuff thinned 30% by volume of laquer thinner. Wood just sucked it up and five years later the wood looks like the day I put it up. On a house you need a UV barrier though. I used System Three clear urethane. You wouldn't need it on an airplane though. Beware of urethanes that are not 2 part. To be a true urethane with all the benfits it needs to be catalyzed or cross linked.I don't profess to ba a Piet authority=2C but I do know a little about coatings. Just my .02 and it may not even be worth that.Doug DeverDate: Thu=2C 27 Aug 2009 22:14:13 -0400Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Okoume and fuselage gussets

The plans do not call for a specific type of plywood to be used. Probably whatever the norm was back in 1934. I would assume that the glues used today are superior to those of 75 years ago. I'm planning to use Marine Okoume throughout my fuselage. I haven't done a proper material layout=2C but I think it would be a very tight squeeze to get ALL of the 1/8" ply parts out of a single 4' x 8' sheet (fuse sides=2C fuse and tail gussets=2C seat bottoms=2C seat backs=2C firewall=2C turtledeck formers=2C instrument panels=2C etc. etc.)=2C so I bought two sheets=2C which added a whopping $40 or so to my material costs. But=2C in the long run=2C I'm sure it will have saved me money=2C since we all end up making a few "extra" parts=2C and on the day that I realize that I need a few more square feet of 1/8" plywood=2C I won't have to go buy another sheet. Just something to keep in mind -- especially if you're having plywood shipped.Bill C." target=_blank rel=nofollow>http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Piet ... s.comblank rel=nofollow>http://www.matronics.com/contribution" target="_blank">http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pietenpol-Lista href="http://forums.matronics.com/" target="_blank">http://forums.matronics.com_blank">http://www.matronics.com/contribution_________________________________________________________________Windows Live: Keep your friends up to date with what you do online.http://windowslive.com/Campaign/SocialN ... ______Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:34:35 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Rib Drawing
