Last night's progress:
Removed new, uninteresting modern-design ACS primer. Installed cool-lookin
g antique Lunkenheimer primer that I found on Ebay. Installed front cockpi
t cowl, and started lacing "distressed" leathercockpit coaming perimeter
padding. Got it half laced.
I want to use thin washers under all the metal cowl hold-on screws. All th
e washers I have seen are too large in diameter and looks stupid because
it extends out past the head of the screw. Does anyone know where I can
find #8 washers that are less than 3/8" O.D.?

Dan,
3/8" is pretty much the standard size for a #8 screw, but it looks like McMaster
Carr carries some smaller washers:

McMaster-Carr to the rescue:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#washers/=7542hw
Follow the trail: washers -> round hole -> for screw size [8] -> Outside
Diameter Range [.25" to .399"] -> take your pick of Outside Diameter =
[.28", .31", .313", or .375"]
Cheers,
Dan

Dan, I used nylon washers under my cowling screws for whatever size you need thru
ACS, Wicks,
or Dillsburg Aero.
The nylon washers don't mar your paint and are lighter than steel washers.

Kevin,
Thanks for sharing your progress report and flying specs. The specs (speeds, etc.)
are educational; the flying hours and passengers data, esp. Young Eagles,
are inspirational. As you said, you have been flyng most every day with enough
daylight and good weather. Keep it up.

burn (all to be expected). I put it back the way it was. I could probably
try to increase the pitch and improve that top speed but it flies so darn good
now I'm reluctant to change it. Given my short legs it doesn't matter too much
anyway. (You know, if I hadn't verified that my airspeed indicator reads 10%
high,I could lie about the top speed in good conscious...)

| Subject: | California Pietenpol Gathering |
Hello everyone,
It's now just two and a half weeks away from
the Pietenpol gathering at Frazier Lake California (a nice grass strip). I just
thought I'd send out a reminder and get people thinking about it again. If
you've said you're coming then I already have that in my notes. If you're coming
and you
haven't let Charlie or myself know, then please do. It's not mandatory
that you let us know you're coming, but it would be nice for planning
purposes. Charlie Miller (our host) and my phone numbers are also on the info
sheet; see
attached pdf file. I'm looking forward to seeing others who are crazy about Pietenpols.
Bring your Pietenpol, or construction photo album to share with everyone!

I've lost track of a man that I visited a number of years ago in his shop. As near
as I remember it was about 2000-2002.
His name is Lou Larson and he lived in Tavares, FL.
He had an "A" and was getting ready to cover when I visited him. Anyone know Lou???

Dan these people have a good selection of small parts. I have quite a stock from
my modeling days. My Piet has already got some on it. Very reasonable prices
too.

| Subject: | horiz stab capstrip question |
Ok guys I made my gussets on my horizontal stab too big! yes there is such a thing.
Now my capstrip placement is off. If I place the capstrip where it belongs
as evenly placed I go right over my capstrip. I have attached a picture.
I am thinking about just moving the capstrip placement 1" to it's planned placement.
What are your thoughts? Little embarrassed I didn't lay it all out,
but I guess that is what learning is for!
Thanks,
Bill

If anyone has real world experience with an 0200 in a Piet, I'd appreciate
any prop suggestions.
I know of two flying with Cessna 150 props, mostly because it was easier to
get insurance using the prop the engine was certified for. And I know of
one that flew a while ago using a 76X34.
Thanks

Moving the capstrip 1 inch won't be a problem.

Bill, don't tell anybody but one of the capstrips in my vertical fin is an
inch below the capstrip in my rudder where they are supposed to be aligned.

Just move the capstrip/rib. Once covered it will never be seen and never cause
