Forgive me in advance if the question doesn't have much merit, but I was wonderingif the leading edge could be attached with epoxy alone or is it necessaryto use the 8-32 machine bolts?Thanks,TomRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:14:12 -0600

Today was not the most enjoyable cool flight, Thought I would put a few hours onthe Old Ford, with heat from the radiator and a warm outfit.I was traveling North, And all of a sudden a flock of Canadian Geese came out ofnowhere on a South path, I eased a slight left course to avoid the flock andthey decided to try a right quick turn.In order to avoid I did a snap to theleft, heard a loud bang, Something snapped, maybe a cable or wood structure, didn'tfeel anything except a sharp jolt, I leveled and tried to see anything thatmight be a serious problem. I Did a 180 and a long long nerve racking flightback to the Airport, NO vibrating or odd noises were detectable, taxied upto the hanger chopped the Ford and took a look around. Nothing, tail feathersOK, Cables OK, Prop, OK, Wings looked OK.I parked her in the Hanger and duringthe gas refueling, the Right Wing Tip had a streak of red, running four and aft,Close inspection revealed a broken end rib between the spars, Just the topwas dented,If I had not made a sharp turn that raised the right wing maybe I could have missedthat goose, but on the other hand there were many more to contend with. Feltsorry for that poor bird.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2011 21:49:12 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Pietenpol Mid Air

Tom,Your question has as much merit as any other. I used the 8-32 machine screws. I would like to hear if any flying Piets only used the glue.Dan HelsperPuryear, TN-----Original Message-----
