I found those things on the internet last night. They are called: weld in clevis tube adapters. They are not in the size that I want, but I will keep looking. They are made of 4130 and are carried by the racing car companies. dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leon Stefan" Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2007 11:58 AM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: dennis hall's air camper model A > > Last year Dennis Hall told he is (0r did) moving to Az and wanted more > power for the high temps. and tall cactus.

Castle Rock, Colorado ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 07:46:03 PM PST US From: Ryan Michals Subject: Pietenpol-List: Some words of wisdom The quote below was recently posted on the Biplane Hangar list by Kevin Kimball. It made me laugh and felt I needed to share it. I can relate to what he is saying. I have been fooling around with this rear seat, a change here, a change there, a little more, a little less, etc.. Meanwhile I have a load of fresh lumber waiting for me. Some obsessing over details is ok, but there's a point when you just have to do it. I'll start cutting tomorrow. -Ryan "Having been around airplanes nearly all of my life, I have seen hundreds of projects/builders come and go. In the past 20 years or so, I have observed this to a greater degree than before that time. It boggles my mind at how often people start into their first real project and while still at the paperwork stage, spend countless hours figuring out how to undo all that has been done for them. "Make it better..." as they think. Even more prevalent is the novice builder who buys someone else's partial project and starts right in on a huge shopping list of what they are gonna undo, redo or toss out. It can take many years and a multitude of completed projects to be able to develop, select and make airframe mods with a reasonable amount of confidence that what you are doing would work BEFORE you make the first cut. So much time is lost to vapor building. What I am trying to say is run away from the computer and stay in the work shop. That'll get it done so you can go have some fun!

He makes most (if not all) the parts you will need for the pietenpol. I have seen his work and find it excellent! You can order any part you need from him and as you can afford it! He can be reached at Perk's Aerowerks 913-764-6949. Ken H.
