I received my Riblett print today. For those who may not know, it is a full size drawing like the full size Pietenpol rib print. How did you guys get the print transferred to the wood base on you rib jigs? I know someone sandwiched the print under Plexiglas. Any suggestions welcomed. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:10:00 PM PST US From: Kip and Beth Gardner Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: From print to jig...how? Mike, Secure your drawing to your jig board. Take a sharp awl, and punch a hole through the paper every 1/2 inch or so. Take up the drawing and connect the dots.

My mistake, what I-am asking is: is there a way to easily transfer the pl an onto the jig, and keep the original plan intact. I have heard how to sim ply make a copy is not always good, wondering if there is any other way. Th e making holes and connecting the dots is a way I haven't thought of. I gue ss once the jig is made and proven, we don't need the plan, but I would lik e to try and salvage mine. - It seems the easiest is to tape it down, cover with plastic, build. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 06:12:10 PM PST US From: Kip and Beth Gardner Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: From print to jig...how? Mike, It does minimal damage to the plan. Lay out the jig, put the plan away, no problem.

Michael.....Michael....Michael Take it to Kinko's...oops I mean FedEx and have them laminate a copy for you...couple of buck and they can do it while you wait. This way you still have your original and the laminated copy works great to keep the glue from sticking to the table. Then...create your jig on top of the lamination! If you question your glue sticking to the lamination....do a small test sample and the next day see if it pops off! No stinking wax paper here baby.....tee-hee-hee... Kenneth M.

Gary, Are you using the Riblett airfoil on your Piet? I got a copy of it from Roman Bulthol (spelling) at Brodhead. I won't put my pictures up from Brodhead as Bill Church did such a great job; but it was great being there and getting to talk to other builders like Rich Navratil, Greg Cardinal, Gary and Shad Bell, Bill Rewery, etc. It was neat to be able to see their planes and ask them why they did what they did. One of the best forums ever was a group of six guys from Atlanta who are building six Piets together. They get together every Monday night, one Saturday a month, and one full six day week every summer. They are just about ready to cover all six Piets. Once they are all done and signed off for flight; they will put all six serial numbers in a hat and have a drawing. Until then no one knows which airplane will be theirs. They did a great job of talking about the whole project and showing a great slide show as they did their presentation. 14 Piets were at Brodhead. Cheers, Jim B.
