Hope to park on the very SE corner of the field, next to the white fence to the south. Shown in the attached picture C-37 and labeled "Drive-in camping". My earlier post was incorrect with SW. Also shown near the top left of the picture attached. It will be nice to have the additional help if needed. We should be there close to noon Thursday. With Matt's pot and help we will start boiling the fish...brats (sorry) Friday morning. With Matt's grill and ours we should be able to get them cooked pretty well. The Piggly Wiggly is making them fresh for a Friday morning pick up. Weather permitting I will take the Honda to pick them up. Keep your fingers crossed for FANTASTIC weather.

My girlfriend (Robin), my son (Scott) and I would love to join you all. My girlfriend is from Wisconsin, so I think we should contribute something local, and propose Brandy Old Fashions for later in the day. We'll contribute anything else you deem worthwhile upon request. Funds, son's labor, whatever. I'll be coming in a motorhome as well, hoping to show up very early Thurs morning. If we can reasonably co-locate, perhaps the extra kitchen might be of use. I also have some extra space in the coach, so beds are available for whomever might need them. Thanks for the invite, very much looking forward to meeting everyone!

If I were to drive out in an RV for the day (Friday/Saturday), could I expect to find reasonable parking? Here is my situation in a nut shell... Planned to hit Brodhead while staying in Rockford... have 3 nights reserved. Picking up a rental car in Rockford and returning in Oshkosh the following week to get around a bit easier. Suddenly have a new addition to our group (Mother) who said... "let's get and RV", which we did. So... if it would be possible to drive it out for the day in the RV I would like to do that for her convenience/comfort... but if parking is slim pickins I'd rather not fight with it... we'll just bring the rental car. I know what the regular parking area looks like... kind of tight at times, but I don't recall what the drive in camping area looks like. Please advise.

I got much of my inspiration from the Bingelis books regarding the ergonomic needs of a body sitting for a couple of hours with little ability to move about... sound familiar? I made my seat bottom and back removable (at this point of construction). The bottom merely sits in place and is contoured to give more support under the thigh region. The back is curved 2" deep and is held in place by wood screws and upholstery washers. The key to the curved back was laminating the cross members to a depth that would allow cutting the recess into them. The bottom member was cut 1" recess and as mentioned before, the top 2". The 1/8" basswood ply easily took the curve when inserted. Hope this helps... hope to see all at Brodhead.

I hadn't seen it done before on a Piet, but like almost any idea, it's probably been done at least once before. What made you decide not to pursue the idea further? That's a kind offer. I cut out a few support pieces last night, so I think I'll be okay to make my own. I'll know better over the next week or so whether my method will work or not. Bill C.

Looks good. You are doing some nice work there. Hope you didn't mind being "exposed". I see you made your seat bottom with slats. My original idea was to do the seat bottom and back using slats, just like the Adirondack chairs, but then thought it might get too heavy, so decided that plywood would be a better choice. Slats is definitely easier than curving plywood. I'll look for you at Brodhead. Bill C.

The center is screwed down with aluminum dividers so things stored on either side can not travel inboard and conflict with the cables. For aft inspections, I plan on using a technique I utilized on construction of a Boredom Fighter where two zippers are sewn onto the bottom fabric and finishing tapes are applied during covering. Masking tape is applied over the teeth during covering and painting then when finished, the masking tape is removed, the zippers opened and the fabric cut with a razor blade. The end result is a triangular flap that can be zipped up during use and unzipped when wanting access. Worked very well with the Stitts process well see how the latex handles it.

Totally missed the runway numbers on the map, and just assumed North was UP, like a normal map. And I've driven in numerous times, and lost my sense of direction as well. My apologies for questioning your directions, sir. I'll see you in the "Drive-in Camping" area.

The holes are made of 2 layers of 1/8 ply the bottom layer hole being 1/2" smaller than the top layer. Plan to use the middle hole for maintance access and the outer holes will have canvas cargo bags, still have to figure a way to keep the canvas from fouling the rudder cables. Plan to use leather hindges and hope to be able to slide my butt to access cargo in flight. The hole in the pac seat is just for inspection/maintance.
