Dear Listers, There are just a few more days left of this year's List Fund Raiser. Response has been good so far, but we're well behind last year at this point. If you've been waiting until the last minute to make your Contribution, now might be good time to show your support and maybe pick up a nice gift as well! Please remember that there is no commercial advertising on these Lists and the *only* means of keeping them running is through your Contributions during this Fund Raiser. If it weren't for your individual Contributions, these Lists could easily become economically infeasible and simply cease to exist. You probably can't even take the family out to dinner for $20 these days, but your individual Contribution of the same amount makes a huge difference in keeping the List services alive. Please make a Contribution today with a Credit Card or Paypal: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 Thank you!

I have a cub tank in my Piet, and made my own mounting straps out of 4130 strips. I did solder an extended neck on it. Mine was given to me.

So I'm selling the works. I've got over $200 into it. It includes the manual (paid $28) and full plans ($138) which I bought from Don Pietenpol. Also includes the wing section plan which I guess is not accurate enough to be really useful. All of the 18X24 inch plans were professionally laminated at a cost of $40. Also included is a Bill Rewey info pack ($8) and a Mike Cuy VHS video ($23) if you still have a tape player :-) This is all the original, not photocopies. I didn't ever start the actual building.

And just to fill in some space here, don't let anybody know but I played hooky from work yesterday afternoon and went flying. My hangar-mate had a vehicle parked at an ag strip the other side of Hondo and I flew him over to retrieve it. What a beautiful, crisp, cold day to be out flying. Scout flew wonderfully and good landings were made by all. It was humorous to see the mechanics over at the ag repair shop all come running out to look at the Piet as we taxied up... here are these guys all surrounded by dozens of huge crop dusters, working on ailerons as big as an entire Piet wing, propellers that looked like windmills, and these guys are all grins as they touched the "real wood prop!" and fabric of an old Air Camper. Cameras came out and they took pictures of Scout; it's good to see that airplane people recognize and admire the classic lines of this airplane. The frosting on the cake was after we got back to the hangar (me with the airplane, Craig with his Jeep Waggoneer), we were standing around talking when an honest-to-goodness Tiger Moth flew into the pattern and started shooting touch and goes. Obviously someone was getting instruction because there were two aboard, but the Moth was just gorgeous... finished in silver with RAF roundels and a yellow slash on the fuselage... and the Gipsy never missed a beat. They probably shot a half-dozen landings, then headed off to the east after wagging the wings. Gorgeous airplane.

Of cou rse when I found the Matronics sight I was tootin' in tall cotton. (thats a good thing)- I feel like I have gotten to know many of you and I look fo rward to the readin' all the emails mails every day and often twice a day. I attended Brodhead this year and thoroughly enjoyed every minute, even the thunderstorm. The comraderie and companionship in this community is pricel ess and the information sharing is awesome. And when someone has extra part s to share they do so at a friendly price. Thanks for the prop Oscar. - Time to get to the point. The Fund Raiser. I'm sure most all of you have pa rticipated in a fund raiser at some point. Helped your daughter sell girl s cout cookies, helped your wife make cupcakes for the bake sale, enjoyed Tri via Night with friends. It doesn't have to be a lot unless you have it to spare. I gave $20 bucks. Not much I know but I still need a few more turnbuckles. - "Of all sad words of pen and tounge, the saddest are these....
