    What we think we want.

    I regret that I dd not take more photos of the folding hinge. It is a turned 1" bolt with a head on it to receive the bolt that attaches the wing attachment to the bolt head. This pivot bolt fits into a tube in the center section where it rotates. Check page 9. Hope this helps.

    Beachner V8 Special

    Never heard of the Beachner V8 Special till meeting with some local pilots Saturday evening. One older gentleman mentioned that he had owned one and proceeded to tell me about the Buick V8 engine it had. Interesting.

    Pop rivets holding 1.5 mm plywood on 15x10mm spruce longerons . Good idea ?

    With all my years in aviation I would say NO. Pop rivets for aluminum to aluminum yes if pop rivets are aluminum.

I did not keep up with what was happening to EAA after I left but I did hear from Paul...
