Agree with Tools 100%. I will add that the split axle gear is probably lighter.--------ChrisSacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: TC Pitenpol

Tools: if you don't mind my asking, how did you keep the clamped tailpost halvesfrom binding the saw blade as you started in with your cut? I could see howyou might slip some shims into the cut behind the blade, but if I were to trythat trick I'd probably just end up with blade burns, which are not conduciveto the wood taking up glue.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 power, 72x36 Culver propRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: TC Pitenpol

Hi JackThanks for your comment.When I cut the bottom capstrip for the fittings and spars, front and rear of thebutt rib flexed up a little. When epoxying it in place, I hung the weights toget it back to the original shape. Now it is ok and no more weights.Semih OksayRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
