I got the theory from Ed Sampson while sitting under a tree at a B'head reunion in about 1999 and it works very well. I wrote an article about it and even mailed out a bunch of plans and instructions to those who asked. There is no mystery to doing things the old fashioned way except to those who are caught up in thinking that the latest technology or their own theories just have to be better than the way the pioneers did it. If you email me off-list, I'll try to locate some of the sheets that I wrote back then and get them to you.....or just give me a call! I can walk you through the process verbally 'cuz it ain't rocket science and you won't need a video unless you're under 30.

I've only seen two of this airplane on Don Parson's facebook page. He hasn't even posted them to his blog yet. It's not a Jenny. The Jenny was a DeHavilland, this is a Standard. From my limited understanding, it's noticeably larger than a Jenny. I think I'm correct about that, but I've been wrong before. :) Wayne Bressler Jr. Taildraggers, Inc. taildraggersinc.com On May 25, 2010, at 5:25 PM, "Dave Abramson" wrote: > HELLO EVERYONE! > > HERE IS THE JENNY THAT WAS USED IN THE "GREAT WALDO PEPPER" > > IT'S ALIVE AND WELL! > > DAVE > > Subject: Standard J-1 progress > >> Yesterday and today pictures >> will fly sometime next week if it stops raining > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 06:28:31 PM PST US From: Ryan Mueller Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: The Great Waldo Pepper Standard J-1 progress You are correct, it is not a Jenny.

The Jenny (or JN series) was built by the Curtiss Aeroplane Company of Hammondsport, NY.

I had a feeling that was wrong as I was typing it. I try to be accurate, but we all make mistakes. My face is genuinely red right now, though... Okay, so Curtiss made the Jenny, Waldo's plane was a Standard, and DeHavilland made the Tiger Moth? I'm honestly embarassed that I goofed that up.
