Pieters....
The v-brace supports for the front seat back....are they on the
back side of the front seat facing the pilot or are they on the front
side of the seat back facing the engine?
I am understanding the plans to say the v-brace go on the front
side of the front seat back...
Correct?

Sorry about that. I must have hit the 'reply' button by mistake.
Incidentally, I'm going to put the braces on the back of the seat and
move the attachments for the cabane struts back about an inch to clear
the braces I think that will also help in the weight and balance
problem of having the plane too tail heavy. Chuck

Does anyone know the originator of the logo in the picture I've attached? I'd
like to give them proper credit for my use of it. I've always liked the logo
and when I saw a discarded piece of plywood, in my mind the logo fit the plywood
perfectly so I plotted the logo out the size of the wood, cut out the pieces
and outlined them onto it with a pencil, and used a couple of leftover paints
to paint it. Took me a couple of enjoyable evenings in the garage with some
good blues music playing. Just something to decorate our hangar.
The original logo uses different colors than my "artwork"... I just used what I
had (antique white cabinet enamel, satin black latex house paint, and 'ripe avocado'
flat latex). Original logo also attached.

As many on this list know, Gene Pennington, who signs his posts as "Gene in
Beautiful Tennessee", was diagnosed last spring with an incurable,
aggressive form of cancer called leiomyosarcoma. He sold his Pietenpol to
Ryan Mueller and I ferried it from Tennessee to Brodhead for Ryan, flying in
formation with Randy Bush.
I had not heard from Gene in several months so I gave him a call last week
to see how he was doing. I did not get him, but left a message on his
voicemail, and feared that his health was deteriorating.
Yesterday he called me, and to my great surprise and delight, he sounded
wonderful and strong. He told me that he had been so sick from his previous
chemotherapy treatments that he had just about decided to stop the
treatments and let the disease run its course (his initial prognosis from
Vanderbilt Hospital last spring had given him 2 - 3 months to live). He
went to see his Oncologist in Louisville, KY, who put him on a new chemo
drug. Monday, he went back for a CT Scan and checkup and the doctor
literally came jumping up and down in his office with the scan results. The
tumors were shrinking!
Bear in mind that this cancer is very rare, and has always been considered
untreatable. Remission is not possible. Until now.
Gene feels like he suddenly has a future again! He is already discussing
the possibility of building a Pietenpol, and may make the trek to Brodhead
this coming July. He flies every day the weather permits (he bought a Kolb
Slingshot shortly after he sold his Pietenpol), and feels better than he has
felt in months. I told him this was the best news I had received all year.
Just wanted to pass this on to the best group of people on the internet.
Merry Christmas!

Correct. The V-brace go on the front of the font seat. I put mine on the back like

This is indeed good news and entirely appropriate for this Christmas

Gene, your fight is not without purpose - you are an inspiration to us
all. Because of your struggle Ryan and Jess have a beautiful new
Pietenpol and I reaped the benefit of Ryan's Corvair project, plus got
to make a very enjoyable trip to Chicago to pick it up and meet the
Muellers. Jack P. was blessed with a memorable flight to deliver your
Piet to Brodhead which produced several photos that grace desktops
across the Matronics list. Lest it seem too maudlin - we are thinking of
you and our prayers are with you.

You can search "LOGO" and find some answers. Pretty sure there was an issue with
this logo in that Grant WOULD NOT allow it's copy or use.

My best friend's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer back in 1978. She
had treatments and after awhile was told there was nothing more to do but p
ray. Many people indeed did that- and she proceeded to live until 2009, die
ing of old age!! God's ways are not our ways.

Really? Did you move the center strut lower fitting back to the small block
shown on the long fuselage plans? How about a picture?

Correct. The V-brace go on the front of the font seat. I put mine on the
back like a bunch of otherpeople have done but they will interfere with
mounting the center strut lower fittings.

Pieters....
The v-brace supports for the front seat back....are they on the back side
of the frontseat facing the pilot or are they on the front side of the seat
back facing the engine?
I am understanding the plans to say the v-brace go on the front side of the
front seat back...
Correct?

Hi Chris,
Yes, the fitting is on the small block shown on the drawings. It was no problem
to do and seemed like the right way to do it; did not want the braces on the
front seat back.
I will try to take a photo tomorrow and send it to you.
Cheers,
Jim

Yup. The long fuse plans say thats what the small block is for but you will
find that the Piet community is divided on the issue.

Gene,
In addition to Tom, I also was the favorable recipient of parts that
Ryan & Jess did not need after the purchase of your Piet. The carburetor
that they had intended to use is now on my Corvair, which fired up for
the first time (after 6 years) last October! I=99ll be at Brodhead
in 2011 (by ground transportation), and expect to meet you then.
Prayers for your continuing recovery,
Gary Boothe

This is indeed good news and entirely appropriate for this Christmas
season! GOD IS GOOD!
Gene, your fight is not without purpose - you are an inspiration to us
all. Because of your struggle Ryan and Jess have a beautiful new
Pietenpol and I reaped the benefit of Ryan's Corvair project, plus got
to make a very enjoyable trip to Chicago to pick it up and meet the
Muellers. Jack P. was blessed with a memorable flight to deliver your
Piet to Brodhead which produced several photos that grace desktops
across the Matronics list. Lest it seem too maudlin - we are thinking of
you and our prayers are with you.

As many on this list know, Gene Pennington, who signs his posts as

with an incurable, aggressive form of cancer called leiomyosarcoma. He
sold his Pietenpol to Ryan Mueller and I ferried it from Tennessee to
Brodhead for Ryan, flying in formation with Randy Bush.
