This was last summer, so I don't know anything more recent than that. I had never met Charlie before that and so imagine that if he told me, surely his close friends are aware of his situation. In fact, if it were anyone other than all of you and his aviation community of friends, I wouldn't post this info about Charlie. Let's all say a prayer for Charlie...

Incoming List mail was being rejected from about 12am Monday morning until about 10am PDT Monday 4/11. It is unclear at this time what is causing the system problem, but I am feverishly working on the issue. I had to restore a list subscriptions database from an April 6th backup because all of the list files had been truncated. I then reran all of the subscribe/unsubscribe requests since the 6th. You may have just received a subscribe/unsubscribe request and the FAQ if you've subscribed/unsubscribed since the 6th. At this time new posts are being processed and operation should be considered normal. More as information developes... Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Admin DO NOT ARCHIVE -- Matt G.

One thing that is important that you see on the gusset blocks at both the root and outer strut attachment points is that the blocks are not cut straight across. The ends taper into the cap area, or "butterfly". The longer that taper the better. If you cut those blocks straight you are creating a stress riser and at the outer block that could have serious consequences as the load stress for the outer section is concentrated here due to the parabolic nature of the load forces. There have been a lot of sailboats with laminated masts lose said mast because of this. And that's essentialy what our spars are. What I like to do is right click on a construction pic that interests me and hit "save picture as" and label it and save. Once it's in your pic file you double click to bring it up in it's own window. There's a zoom funcion here. Zoom it up till just before it starts to get too fuzzy to see properly. Now you can study the details. I just got back from a great weekend in Victoria. Revisited the " Victoria Piet" on my Kitplane page and took pics of a new Piet undergoing taxi tests. It's too late tonight but I'll post them tommorow. The Piet that's there now was built around 1933. It's rumoured to be the oldest continuously registered plane in Canada. Notice the registration begins with "A". The builder's son inhereted it and rebuilt it a number of years ago. Just to whet your appetite, the new Piet has a Ford "B" on the nose.
