I have this Aircamper logo that I downloaded a couple of years ago, and would like
to have a decal made up to put on the side of my airplane.
Can anyone out there tell me if it is OK to reproduce this logo for my own use
or do I need permission from someone or some organization.
Thanks in advance

Yeah, I've looked at both of those sites, learned quite a bit from them too. I'm
located in central illinois. Would love to find someone with a piet under
construction or flying in the area to check it out. Mostly to help me decide
if a piet is the right place for me.

Lascaster,
You need to see if you can get in touch with a fellow named Dave Boyd from Champaign,
IL. He's a member of EAA Chapter 29, and he's finishing up a Pietenpol.
Champaign isn't that far from Mattoon. The only contact info I have for
him is his email address: dnboyd1 (at) comcast.net Tell him Billy McCaskill
said to look you up.
I would also suggest joining your local EAA Chapter as soon as possible. Lots
of great resources for those who are building, and those who aspire to build.

| Subject: | French Valley EAA Chapter 1279 Pietnepol project update |
Here's an update from that fantastic EAA group from California who brought
their
uncovered Pietenpol to Brodhead and Oshkosh, 2010! Chapter President Ste
ve
Williamson on left.
[cid:image003.jpg@01CCE4D1.B3B73D50]
From: ThePhoebusC@aol.com [mailto:ThePhoebusC@aol.com]
Dear Members,
Things are happening quickly these days with our Pietenpol project. On New
Years Eve we transported the project from the painting facility near the P
erris Valley Airport back to our hangar at French Valley. We want to than
k Chris Frisella, owner of Bone Head Composites, for generously offering us
the use of his commercial paint booth for the two weeks it took to complet
e the painting process. The Poly Fiber process required that we apply two
coats of fabric sealer on everything; followed by three "cross coats" of si
lver UV protector on everything; and, finally, three coats of final color.
Each coat required drying time. And, in the case of the silver coats, san
ding between coats. Wow, what a chore! But it yielded great results.
The following Saturday we began the process of "final assembly." We starte
d by attaching the undercarriage and setting the fuselage on the gear. The
n we attached the tail feathers and bracing wires.
The next Saturday we attached the cabane struts and wing center section, th
en the wings and lift struts. We all stood back and enjoyed the fact that
the project was finally beginning to look like a finished airplane.
On the last Sunday of the month we were able to roll the airplane out to th
e terminal building to show it off at our monthly membership meeting.
The first weekend of February had us mounting the engine and rigging the ta
il. (See photos below)
It is time to begin the paperwork in preparation for registration. Since t
he airplane has been a group project through our chapter's Builders' Worksh
op Program, we wanted to chose an N number that included our EAA chapter nu
mber "1279." Unfortunately, the simple number "N1279" was taken. So, it w
as necessary to add a suffix. A two-letter suffix like "FV" for French Val
ley resulted in too many characters. We had to settle on a single-letter s
uffix. There were several available. We simply had to chose one that we t
hought would look appropriate when affixed to the airplane. We chose the l
etter "Z" for no particular reason and sent in a request to FAA to reserve
the number. The next step was to order the Aircraft Registration Kit avail
able through EAA Headquarters. We are told by our DAR, John Shablow, that
processing the paperwork through FAA takes about three months. In the mean
time, there is plenty of work that remains. You know what builders say, "W
hen you think your 90 percent finished, you've got about 90 percent to go!"
Maybe so, but at the current pace we can at least see the light at the en
d of the tunnel. After nearly seven years of construction, it appears that
the airplane is indeed going to be finished and flying soon.
As always, we welcome visitors. So come on out any Saturday morning and se
e our progress. Or lend a hand, if you are so inclined. I promise you, yo
u will learn something. And this is, after all, a learning process for all
of us.

Beautiful work Steve, and the rest of EAA 1279! Looks great, but it really is
a shame that you had to cover up that magnificent display of craftsmanship. I
know it's still going to be a few months, but I'm sure we're all looking forward
to reports of the first flights. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for sharing that update, Mike. It's been interesting to watch this project
progress over the years. Doesn't that color scheme look familiar?
And to the chapter 1279 crew, congratulations on your accomplishment. The end is
in sight. Well done.

I am listing this again in case anyone missed it.Parting out my project
was the last thing I wanted to do, but I guess I have no choice. I have
a Continental A-65-8 with carb, mags,hub,and logs, on engine
stand.Asking $3,000.00 I also still have my GN-1, partially built, but
ALL the wood necessary to complete it is here, spars, sheeting, all of
it. All but a few of the necessary metal fittings (laser cut), aluminum
t.e.,jigs, plans. Asking $2,000.00.All wood from A.S.& S.
Thank you,
Dan Gaston

Can't find dimensions for where to drill the wing tip fitting holes in the spars.

Would that be the same steel thickness as the control horns are made of?
Would that work for this?
The reason I ask is I am compiling the Steel Order for Aircraft Spruce, and
I will need to order appropriate thickness material.
Thanks again all!
