      Mark,
      
      Anytime you are proud of your work, and need to stand back and look, it's
       a milestone. Very nice work. It must be great to get it out into the ligh
      t. 
      
      Keep plugging!

      I'm not sure if this is actually a milestone, but I'm feeling pretty good
       about 
      t.  I took my left wing panel off the jig today and trial fit the aileron.
      
      oday was one of the first really nice days we have had in a long time, so
       I 
      ook my wing panel outside and set it on saw horses so I could look it over
       in 
      he sun light.  It all looks good so far.  I still need to install control
      
      ulleys and LE sheeting, but the framework is complete.  
      We measured the dimensions (front to rear spar - tip to root) and found th
      at 
      here is less than 1/8" difference in the measurements.  I was told that is
      
      retty good.  
      I also wanted to check my jig with the water level before to starting the
       right 
      ing panel... it hasn't moved since we locked it down, prior to starting 
      ssembly on the let panel.
      Here are a few photos.

      It IS a milestone....you SHOULD feel pretty good about it....wow, this is great!
      
      I got to spend the nice weather yesterday spreading gravel on my (800'+) driveway
      and trying to get a 1951 tractor running (no spark...still!).
      
      Looks like YOU had a LOT more fun!!!
      
      Nice work Mark!

      Nice pics, Mark, thanks! I am still a big fan of your wing building jig.
      That'll work great for me and my cramped work area. How about posting some
      more in-process pics?

      Mark,
      
      Thanks for the pix.  It all looks great.
      
      If you have them, I would like some more details, please.  I'd like to see pix--
      both a side view and a top view of the wing tip bow and the curved aileron tip,
      and how they line up and look together.  Perhaps your build is not quite there
      yet-- the tips.  
      
      In any event, I continue to have trouble visualizing exactly how that goes together.
      I should have taken a stepladder and a closeup lens to Brodhead in 2006
      or 2008.  
      Thanks, Tim in central TX

      Thanks for the nice comments fellas.  For those that want to see most of my build
      photos... you can go to my logbook site (posted below in my signature).  I've
      tried to keep it current and relevant to the project, but there are a few "shop"
      entries that pertain to equipment and such.  
      
      For those that may not be familiar with mykitlog.com, just click on the link below
      and when you get to my main page click the ALL link on the right side menu.
      That will display all of my entries since I've started my project and you can
      quickly browse for titles and which ones have photos.  I do have larger photos
      available for anyone that is interested in specific details.  Perhaps Chris
      would let me post some of my photos on West Coast Piet?  Maybe I'll shoot him
      a note tonight.  
      
      Gary, I got the idea for the vertical wing jig from Tony Bingelis' "Sportplane
      Construction Techniques" (pg. 57).  It was super easy to build, and if you have
      a solid work bench to clamp them to (see my photo above), you won't have to
      anchor them to the ceiling.  I used a water level and shims to get mine leveled
      up and it is working great.  Even if space isn't an issue, I think the vertical
      configuration allows better access to the entire wing panel.  I could be wrong...
      won't know until I try the other methods.  
      
      Time to make sawdust!

      Hi Gang,
      
      For anyone interested, there is an antique 4-1/4" "Height" gauge currently
       on Ebay. Item # 270538280371. Price is currently $212.00. Not too bad so
       far. I paid a lot more for mine.

      I am flying my hours off  and after 5 hours I am really impressed on how my ship
      handles.  It really likes 85 mph at 2500rpm. and will easily go to 95 RPM at
      2900 rpm.  On final approach to landing I am trying to get used the sink rate
      for landing. I like to land power off like I was taught., but i FIND THAT IS
      NOT POSSIBLE.  I have been reading about dimple tape as a somewhat solution. Have
      any of you experienced pietenpollers tried this and does it work?  Thanks
      guys, Gardiner Mason

      I too am flying off my hours.  Today was my first test of the $3 
      elevator trim system I installed yesterday.  Prior to this I was holding 
      a lot of back pressure for level flight.  I also added 1/2 inch of 
      offset to the rudder.  Now I can fly hands off for a few seconds while 
      fumbling around changing frequencies, etc.  Today was pancake EAA 
      pancake breakfast day for my chapter.  When it came time to land the 
      wind was blowing 8 kts right down the paved runway.  I basically flew it 
      right down to the pavement at 65 mph and about 1000 rpm.  In spite of 
      the large audience by carrying a little power I was able to do a nice 
      wheel landing that was heard more than felt, pulled the throttle, pushed 
      the stick forward, and still only rolled out about 150 ft.  My flight 
      advisor suggested wheel landings, and I think they are best done with a 
      little power on.
      
      Only 19 hours to go!

      I got mine from Aircraft Spruce.  Aside from one minor, and one not so minor problem,
      the material is great.  For the record (for those that weren't reading
      the mail a few months ago), Aircraft Spruce quickly took care of both issues.

      I did not point out that you are not locked in to using A/C Spruce. I have
      Hemlock in my tail, and the rest is Poplar, including the ribs. All was
      bought at a local hardwood supplier for under $300.

      The Pietenpol coverall graphic is very appealing to me.  I love the "pulled from
      an angel" look of the wings and the "circus" look of the script.  I'd like to
      hear more from others.
      
      Do I understand that a fellow could iron this on his plane in one version, and
      on his coveralls in another, adjusting for size?  Are these to be vinyl or what?
      
      Thanks,
      Tim in central TX

      Ben, 
      I'm waiting with baited breath, to hear the flying data on the 612 wings that are
      in the works. The glide is not anyway near the glide you are experiencing ,
      nor the sink rate as fast.

      2900 rpm.  On final approach to landing I am trying to get used the sink rate
      for landing. I like to land power off like I was taught., but i FIND THAT IS

      It is possible that you could have these made into a heat transfer, these are possible
      silkscreenings for the coveralls that have been discussed here.  
      
      With some research I could silk screen this onto a fabric swatch that could be
      affixed to your finished craft.  
      
      I will be posting other comps as I complete them.

      The longerons and wing rib caps are carefully chosen
      trim material from lumber yards. I was extremely
      picky so I made regular rounds to five yards. The
      spar material is very unusual and only comes in 5"
      and 6" widths. I found it in a higher end place that
      carries better materials usually.
      
      The longerons are 1 1/16" square stuff that is used as
      a backing when building up fancy, complicated
      moldings.
