There is nothing wrong about bragging on the kids. Sounds like they have thejob that all of us airplane nuts would kill to have. Unfortunately, we mustearn a living somehow and most of the time it doesn't include airplanes. PS: My oldest son (2 grandkids) is a Monavie big-wig. My daughter is aGeorgia Tech engineer and is at General Dynamics Electric Boat (subs). Andyoungest son plays guitar for a living all over the US.See, I couldn't help it either!Barry Davis _____

Pietenpol-List: Re: Nylo-seal oil pressure line?

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Nylo-seal oil pressure line?Ok, I bought the A/C Spruce oil pressure line kit, and after I get it and start looking at the Nylo-Seal tubing, it says "max temp 212 degrees." I went with the nylon because I thought it would withstand the vibration betterthan copper. But the temp rating for the nylon worries me, as does something I read recently in one of Tony Bengalis's articles on the EAA site thatyou don't want flammable liquids running through tubing that can burn through and feed an engine fire. I feel kinda dumb with the Piet in the final stages but there's a way I can run copper tubing or Aeroquip 303 rubber braided hose. What would y'all do?Matt Paxton________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Nylo-seal oil pressure line?

Definitely would not use nylo-seal or copper. Nylo-seal won't handle the heatand copper will harden and crack with the vibration. Go with the Aeroquip fromthe engine to the firewall.--------Al RiceSkybolt 260RV-9AHelping with my grandson's Pietenpol Air CamperRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Nylo-seal oil pressure line?

My Stinson has had copper tubing primer lines since 1947 and I intend on runningthe same for my oil pressure gauge on the Piet I'm finishing (the exterior tubingon the Model-A is copper also) for the same reason Woodflier cited.I know of a 1929 Travelaire biplane that has copper tubing for its fuel lines (andhas for years that I know of) but I don't know if they've ever been replaceddue to cracking or not.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Nylo-seal oil pressure line?

I know that older planes used copper. I restored a 1931 Great Lakes biplane thatused 1/8" copper direct from the engine to the oil pressure gauge. There werelots of practices from the "old days" that have been superseded by new acceptedpractices, most due to failures.--------Al RiceSkybolt 260RV-9AHelping with my grandson's Pietenpol Air CamperRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
