It's all about experience. The friend that I worked for 20+ years never used iron.He probably recovered 30 plus planes. Days when planes sat outside.

Steve,Just wondering why you felt compelled to experiment with the heat gun after beingadvised "emphatically" against doing it?In short (as was stated before), it is simply a bad idea. Here's a direct quotefrom the Ceconite web page:"Because calibrated temperatures are important to the shrinking process, however,you shouldn't use a heat gun, which gives you no control."Trying something because some guy did it on YouTube isn't a very wise way to dothings.Rather than being in the tradition of the EAA, it seems that your actions are theopposite. Learning from the mistakes of others, and paying heed to their warningsis the wise way to "experiment."Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Great landing, Gary. Do you land with throttle fully at idle, or carry a tiny bitof power?

Fair enough, Steve.Very selective, careful application of the use of a heat gun, along with the infra-redthermometer can be a way to deal with some tricky covering problems -keeping in mind that it is very easy to go too far with the heat, and then youhave to start all over again.

Jeff;I'd be happy to take some pictures of how I routed the PTT wiring, and will alsoscan the Ray Allen "instructions" (actually pretty simple). Also my hand-sketcheddiagram of how it all goes together. It does require that the buildersolder wires to the switch connections but if one is not handy with the solderinggun it's an easy task for a ham radio buddy, electronics aficionado, or the15-year-old next door to do for you ;o) Just two wires to land, but the switchis quite small.I didn't want the wiring to be too obvious (1929 airplane, after all), so afterI brought it out the bottom end of the control stick, I ran it along the undersideof the walking beam and secured it with wire ties as I carried it forward.At the point where the beam passes under the front cockpit seat back, I puta little loop in it to allow for the beam swinging back and forth and turnedit upward and headed it over to the starboard fuselage side where I have a mappocket. Couple of cable clamps secure it to the backside of the front seatback. Clear as mud? ;o) I'll take a photo or two.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: first flight of the year

I get it Oscar. I hate when work gets in the way of life. But at the same timeI don't mind that you are doing something for our Vets. I am assuming thatthe VA you mentioned is our Vets. They deserve anything and everything we cangive them. Here-here to all the vets.Cheers,--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: first flight of the year
