your messages are making it through you will find them in there.
Do not archive. Sorry about the momentary lapse of judgement. However,
considering I just got this email today (It was sent 2-3 days ago), emails
through the list are not working for my yahoo email address. I wasn't
talking about the web based list; not everyone looks there. I was only
talking about email distribution.

Thanks for the concerns, I know who my real friends are now! Wonder how long
it will take for Jack and Ryan to be nice to me :)
Kidding aside, this is probably the most tolerant and easy going crowd I've
seen, why do you think I am building a Pietenpol?
As far as my progress... I am collecting tools. Just picked up an antique
band saw a couple of days ago. It is really a nice one. Now, I just need a
good drill press and the shop will be ready!

There was a similar wing rotating jig for one-piece wing long ago in the
BPA newsletter. It was somewhat smaller and simpler, as it attached to
the cabane fittings only. The best I remember, it was two "U" shaped
pieces of plywood bolted to the cabane fittings and sitting on a base
with rollers much like Dan's. I will try to find it and post.

| Subject: | Vortex Generators |
I recently sealed my elevator gap which improved control response. (I strongly
recommend gap seals on ailerons, rudder and elevator on the Pietenpol).
Just for kicks this weekend I added vortex generators to the underside of my horizontal
stabilizer and definitely noticed improved elevator authority on landing
flare.
Crazy I know, and if they didn't look so darn noticeable and out of character for
an antique, but still it has me thinking........has anyone had experience with
vortex generators on the Piet wing?

Gary,
I have had good experience with VGs on my Piet. I'm not in a position
to write a long post on it, but check the archives and you'll find my
write-up. Let me know if you can't find it.

I noticed another difference, the upper support wires for the horizonital
tail
do not attach to a single point but to two different locations on the
vertical
fin one the leading edge and one the aft.
