Hi, guys! I've been offline for a while trying to cope with anillness(not mine). The bottom line is that, regretfully, I cannotcomplete my Pietenpol project of 9 years and am looking for a buyerbefore I try the e-bay route. I thought I would see if there were any"lurkers" out there on the List that might want a huge headstart onthe project. The fuselage is on the gear and wheels, wings arecomplete. A Corvair is sitting on the nose and it is basically readyfor the prefabric inspection. I have $12,000 US invested in thematerial and 1200 hours in labour. I am looking to recover the cost ofthe materials. The time was well spent, and I enjoyed the help andwisdom available from the group. Material and fittings are top of theline. There is a full panel of instruments.The only condition will be that when completed, I get a ride as apassenger.The decision to sell is one of the hardest that I have had to make ina long time. The location is north West Alberta, in Whitecourt.For more details, contact me direct at iholland(at)telusplanet.netThanks for all your help over the years!-=Ian=-________________________________________________________________________________

That's the way I did it. Pay close attention to iron temp with one of those little iron thermometers, and ironing everything thouroughly & evenly, in two directions . My first shrink was done evenly, at less than half of the max temp. Do not glue the fabric to the ribs.Chuck G.________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks for the nice comments Mark but most of the welding has been done by a goodfriend, Jerry Grogan. I do some of the "not so critical" stuff. Yes it's tig.The vice brake worked well because you only want to bend about half the part,you just let the end not to bend overhang outside the brake.Sent from my iPadJack TextorOn Mar 23, 2013, at 11:58 AM, "Mark Roberts" wrote:> > Wow Jack!

Dave;How about a little more information? Is it an O-200 (you say it's a little over100HP)? If it has a starter, that sort of narrows down the possibilities.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
