My first wing, after varnish was hung on my basement ceiling. The wood for that wing had been in the heated basement for two years. The other day when getting ready to store my second wing I noticed quite a few loose bolts on the first one. I had no idea the wood dried out and shrunk that much after storing in the controlled atmosphere.

If the heat and cold hurt them while their in your garage, just think what will happen to them while their on your plane in and out of the hanger.----- Original Message -----

The piet plans call for 13 ga. wire to be used for the drag and antidrag bracewires. What diameter is that in inches? I'm finding a range of .072 to .091 dependingon where I look.Thanks--------Jim BirkeIra G.

American Wire Gauge (AWG) says .072. Imperial Standard Wire Gauge (British Standard, SWG) says .092.I would think that BP used AWG. Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage ready for gear(13 ribs down.)-----Original Message-----
