Robert,
I commend your efforts already! I as a new builder would think that this
would be a great asset to all Piet'ers. This would put alot of questions to
rest.

Yikes, I hate to think that that's the only response I get from my post!
Anyway, last night after sending the following email, I downloaded a full
featured demo version of DesignFOIL. The demo only lasts five days, but
that's all I need to get some data on the FC-10. It looks to be an easier
and equally valid solution to models in a wind tunnel.
Again, if anyone else has generated wing section data for the FC-10, please
share.

Subject: | Texas Pietenpols & GN-1s |
I managed to lose my list of fellow Texans who are building or have built and
are flying Pietenpols and GN-1s. If y'all (Texan for you guys or you all)
could resend me your details, I'd be much obliged. I'll not trust the data to a
hard drive again but will print out addresses, phone numbers and other
contact details to leave in my Rolodex this time. I guess it might be nice to
have
a list of folks in adjoining states of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana.
Texans and Southerners can resend me the info at KRSBTV@AOL.com (I'd also like
to meet owners in Tucson and Phoenix areas since I occasionally make trips
there.)
I'm hoping to make the rounds across Texas when the weather is a little more
favorable, to take some pictures and video. In return, I'll send everybody I
visit a CD or DVD of what I compile. It might be handy to compare notes and
builder tips and tricks.
I'm still in a quandary what to do with my airplane (now named Frankenstein)
and I suppose I might get it flying someday (to be flown by the Village Idiot)
or I might part it out and sell off components. I might end up with another
Piet and "Frankenstein," if I simply go out and buy a flying specimen in the
coming weeks... Time will tell.
Thanks,

I suppose if we do not put a number on the year then when it comes out, it will
be correct.

Alex,
It looks like this waiting on this issue is going to outlast me. When it
began I was troting, then I slowed to a walk. Now I'm on a cane but still
optimist. I honestly think that it's all politics so certain people can gather
the
credit.
Corky in La and will keep waiting

Hi Corky,
You know its all politics. They all want the credit but they are also afraid
to be the one giving their support in case there might be a problem somewhere
they haven't thought of.
Hang it there, eventually it will get signed off in spite of the political hacks.
Cheers, Jim
