Subject: Pietenpol-List: Pink Slip... the good kind!N629ML got her Special Airworthiness Certificate today. The inspector had no squalks, even with a couple of FAA inspectors looking over his shoulder. Wish I could have gotten the Feds to come on their own - would have saved some money but they were re-certifying the DAR. Weather is going to be squally for several days so it looks like the weekend before we can look at a first flight. Thanks to all on this list-serve who have helped me over the 11+ years it took to get to this point. Mike Cuy, Jack Phillips and Bill Rewey all shared drawings and ideas and more, including Jack's engine mount jig. I hope to see all of you at Brodhead this year.

Way to go, Matt! I'll have to re-think my plan to fly the RV-4 to Brodhead,if you are going to fly your Piet. Formation flying is definitely the mostfun. And safer.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____

Pietenpol builders don't need no stinking air compressor. There are 10,000 fewerrivets than that (very cool by the way) RV-10............Now if your Nicopress was missing..........

Mark,Thanks for your thoughts. I did bevel my trailing edge verticals as you described.With the gussets on the outside, I beveled to get a 1 1/8" width when thesides were joined. Though I read about the 1" width on the list, I never sawit on the plans I received. Instead, I used the 1 1/8" width I found in theFlying and Glider Manual.All said, I did re-measure everything, checked my centerline, and again ensuredthe table was level. I couldn't find anything wrong (? gremlins ?). When Ireleased the clamp at the 11" station, it opened to 11 3/4" and the curve visuallylooked just right. With everything squared up, I'm just going to cut thestrut to this width for the top and bottom. Like Jack said, if everything issquare and plumb things should be just about right.Again, thanks for your input. Your web log has been pretty helpful in buildingmy plane. Hope to meet you at Brodhead.TomRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pink Slip... the good kind!
