(GRC-RXD0)[ASRC Aerospace Corporation]" Subject: Pietenpol-List: sorry Shad ! Sorry to hear of the damage to your airplane. It has to be a lousy feeling but glad to hear that you'll be able to make the repairs and touch up the patches with paint.

This is probably one draw back of latex paint. It comes off easy with mek, but feathering it out takes some time. Each pach we have done looks a little nicer (less noticable) than the last. Well time to go do some fabric work, the boy just went down for his nap. It makes me feel like Jack Keaton in "Mr. Mom".

Our "leaders" never seem to be at a loss for Lack of Foresight! You and your compatriots at NASA are one of the few elements of our government's spending that actually provide something to lift our nation's spirits and give us some goals to shoot for that aren't just "What's in it for me?" all the time. We're with you all the way!

Then the eyebolt goes fore-to-aft, bolting the sandwich halves together and creating the attachment point. Pretty slick. Oscar has added a notch for a "V" sight, to improve sighting on John Deeres, RVs and other hostile machinery. 8031 just doesn't have the real estate for any sort of hockey-puck, like Oscar's arrangement. The only thing I can think of is maybe his cabanes are longer than mine are...
