Each year at the end of the List Fund Raiser, I post a message acknowledging everyone that so generously made a Contribution to support the Lists. Its my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their appreciation for the Lists. Won't you take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of Contributors (LOC)? As a number of members have pointed out over the years, the List seems at least - if not a whole lot more - valuable as a building/flying/recreating/entertainment tool as your typical magazine subscription! Please take minute and assure that your name is on this year's LOC! Show others that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to support the Lists is fast and easy using your Credit card or Paypal on the Secure Web Site: http://www.matronics.com/contribution or by dropping a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics PO Box 347 Livermore CA 94551-0347 I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution thus far in this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support that keeps these Lists going and improving! Don't forget to include a little comment about how the Lists have helped you!

Never met you, but my hat is off to you for finishing and bringing to life another beautiful plane. I absolutely love the Scout, and doubt there are half a dozen flying in the country. VERY COOL!! Funny how most people who build a Scout use a Ford, and most people who build an Aircamper use a Continental (though this trend seems to be shifting to the Corvair) Douwe ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:45:18 AM PST US From: Dan Yocum Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet. CFI needed. Tim, Check out the NAFI database for flight instructors near you: http://www.nafinet.org/directory/florida_1.html That's how I found the guy who gave me the dual in my Piet. Some CFIs will list 'tailwheel' as one of their specialities, but some who are TW endorsed forget to put it down. The guy I found prefers to do tailwheel instruction, but forgot to list it in his database entry. Good luck!

Does any one else see this or is this a figment of my imagination? It's probably strong enough that it doesn't matter but please if any one else See's this let me know, or if you don't see it let me know. It looks like having the bolt holes in alignment with the strut would stop this? I know we have some very talented engineers out there and I want to hear from you?

So you are correct in not liking the original fitting geometry. However they both seem to work fine on a Pietenpol.
