I have to agree with Douwe. The closer I get to my first flight, the
more I wake up in the middle of the night and think of all the little
things that I might have messed up without knowing it. Only 4 days till
my airworthiness inspection...

Rick,
For example, the metal sticks out past the instrument palel 1 1/2", and th
e lacing holes at that point are 1 1/4" in from the edge of the metal. Aro
und the sharp curves the holes get a little closer to the edge of the meta

After reading several posts about the Sport Aviation article about
Perk's Piet my copy finally arrived last week. It was a good article
but of greater concern was a short article on page 10 about our paper
pilot certificates expiring on March 31, 2010. Am I the only person in
the country who was totally unaware of this? I tried to take care of it
on the internet but I live on a farm and get my mail at the post office
and the "system" wouldn't recognize my address. I did run off the paper
application and mailed it in. Heads up if you weren't aware of this.

I, too, was trying to avoid the paper/plastic issue
and thought it was voluntary. I've had my old paper
certificate for a long time now, along with my FCC
radiotelephone license, and had no desire to go to
plastic. Now there is no choice in the matter. I
sent in the two bucks or whatever it is, and got my
new credit card certificate. I later found out that
the fee is waived if you also agree to change your
certificate number to a generic number instead of
your social security number, so my new plastic still
has my SS number on it and it cost me a couple of bucks
to make the change.
Oh, well.

One problem I've noticed if you fly as a Sport Pilot and have a Private
cert, you don't get any mailings direct from the FAA, since I guess they
use the Medical database to decide if you are active. A few years ago
they started requiring your license to verify you can speak English. I
got that taken care of at Sun-N-Fun 2 years ago. I got my first plastic
card for free, as I had lost my paper one and noticed on the website
they were changing your license number away from SS# and you can get a
plastic version for free with this change.

| Subject: | beauuutiful work Dan--cockpit leather combing |
Aha-again another guy who has, reads, and uses some of the excellent ideas
in the Tony Bingelis books.
I used a very similar method Dan but used leather shoe lace materials from
Walmart.
PS-Dan, does that combing behind you adversely affect your comfort on your
upper back or shoulders ?
I've spoken to a number of builders who removed that combing around the bac
kside because it became
bothersome once the plane was flying. Hopefully this isn't true in your
case because it sure does have a fantastic
look !
Mike C.
PS-and Dan, I don't hate you. I can't hate a brother. No way.

Lindy Aircraft Awards
[cid:image001.jpg@01CAA8DD.5788C3A0]Only the best of the best can count the
mselves among those lucky enough to have won the prestigious Lindy Award.
Unlike other awards which recognize lifetime or professional achievement, t
he only way you can earn a Lindy Award is to be judged the Grand Champion o
r Reserve Grand Champion at in one of eleven competitive categories at EAA
AirVenture Oshkosh.
Named after aviation hero Charles Lindbergh, the award acknowledges the tir
eless effort necessary to create an aircraft that's truly best of show. The
Grand Champion in each category is presented the Golden Lindy, while the R
eserve Grand Champion nets the Silver Lindy.
But the Lindy Award is more than a mere beauty contest. Judges are more imp
ressed by workmanship than a nice paint job and, in the case of vintage/war
bird aircraft, authenticity over shiny chrome. The personality of the aircr
aft owner has no bearing on the judging - the only thing that matters is th
e quality of the work. This means that a Lindy Award winner possesses a bea
uty that is far more than skin deep.

Dan, if we ever end up at the same fly-in, please do not park your plane
next to mine. It looks ridiculously nice.
Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures and description of your
technique.

You mean some of you guys actually have pilot licenses ??
My favorite line after giving someone a ride is that "someday I'd really li
ke to get my pilot license" !

Dan,
This is really beautiful work. Did you have to wet the leather to get it to make
those curves with minimal wrinkling?

Rick,
For example, the metal sticks out past the instrument palel 1 1/2", and the lacing
holes at that point are 1 1/4" in from the edge of the metal. Around the sharp
curves the holes get a little closer to the edge of the metal.

Very nice work Dan. How far from the edge of the aluminum did you drill the holes
for the lacing?

Just enjoyed planning my turtle deck stringers. Items that made it a little
easier were some fixtures (holders) that have come in very handy throughout
my project. They are just two small squares of plywood glued and nailed to
a block of wood. The space in the middle is one inch, which served as a
nice support under my spars many times during the build. The attached
pictures tell the story better than I.
