    Subject: tin cans
    I'll be damned, it fooled me and I built one. Still trying to get my foot out of my mouth. Jack www.textors.com Jack Textor--- believe it or not that airplane behind me in the photo wasn't an RV....but an ALL WOOD Corby Starlet that I owned for four years from 2004 to 2008. The airplane is now back with it's original builder who said "if you ever consider selling it, give me a call" and he bought it back. The Heilman's Old Style beer can from Wisconsin is about the only tin in that photo and I'm having to guess it is mostly aluminum:) Mike C. do not archive Checked by AVG - www.avg.com 05:56:00

    Subject: Cliff's landing gear legs
    Cliff-- that's a great idea I see in your photo--- the thin pieces of birch plywood at the top end of your wooden gear legs where the bolts go thru---- that wi ll help prevent splitting over time. Excellent idea. On old airplanes like Curt iss Jenny's and WWII types they often (and you'll see some modern day Piets w/ this too ) wrapped the upper end of the gear legs with twine and glue/varnished them in place to keep the wood from splitting up there. Regarding aging, I'll never forget the words of our hilarious neighbor grow ing up Mr. Johnstone. When they had an 80th birthday party for Tom I was tal king to him and he casually mentioned to me "don't worry kid, the first 80 years are the tough est". Mike C.

    Subject: Talked with Bill Rewey regarding Pietenpols to Oshkosh
    Here is the scoop if you intend to fly into Oshkosh. You are encouraged to fly in with your own handheld radio if you like-there is no requirement to meet up at Waupun to stage. If you have a handheld radio USE IT. Borrow one, bring one, just to list en to the Fisk controllers, even if you're not the leader of a gaggle Everyone should leave Brodhead with enough fuel to reach Oshkosh-there is n o fuel at Waupun. Next-and this is HUGE. The ASPHALT AT Waupun in NOT USEABLE !!!!!!!!! Only use the E-W Grass runway !!!!!!!!! Do NOT USE THE PAVEMENT. There is no gas at Waupun. Some may help meet you there with gas but be advised there is no gas at Waupun. Group leaders will get a clearance from the OSH tower via phone at Waupun a nd then proceed via the normal Fisk approach. The four or five ships behind the group leader SHOULD also have radios to l isten up-you don't need to say a word but it is advisable to listen to what is going on. Normally there is =BD mile in-trail spacing between Fisk airplanes enterin g the Ripon corridor----if you're in a Piet gaggle the spacing is MUCH CLOS ER....not formation flying but say 100, 200 yards behind the guy in front o f you. Bill said the gaggles will fly slightly offset from the RR tracks from Ripo n to Fisk so that faster traffic can pass you. (this per the Chief OSH t ower controller that Bill has spoken to about this) Whatever your leader does, you follow. If cleared to 27, you follow and l and on 27. You MUST read the NOTAM cover to cover ! You can obtain a NOTAM (they'll mail it to you) or print it out---Go here: http://www.airventure.org/flying/

    Subject: lamintated spar
    I was wondering if anyone has taken something like (2) 3" wide pieces of sp ruce and edge glued them together to make spar material. I believe this is acceptable after reading the EAA "Wood" book. I called Mccormicks to chec k into their lumber supply and they have a lot of 1x9 material - so with 4 3/4" spars you'd need to laminate the second part or you couldn't use the r est of the board for spar. $9/board foot. I ordered (4) 16 footers for th e fuselage and tail section and nearly all of the stuff was spar quality ev en without handpicking. This place is located in Madison=2C WI - 1 hour no rth of Brodhead... Guess when I'm going to get my spars :) See you all at Brodhead! Tom B.
