| Subject: | RE: New fuel tank started |
I am learning a lot about this tank stuff, mostly as I go along making mist
akes. I have to make my major panel over again. I apparently got to zealous
with my groove-forming tool (rivet gun) and work-hardened it and formed a
crack. Started to weld the crack shut then just decided to discard it and s
tart over. Drat!! I am going to design a plastic insert for the flow-formin
g tool to do the work this time instead of the steel one I used.
As soon as I get time I will post a complete detailed explanation with phot
os of my saga. But I am having more fun than a barrel of monkeys playing ar
ound with this stuff!

Subject: Pietenpol-List: a wing is beginning to take shape
Finally, I've gotten a start on the wings. My almost 6 year old son
and I will be working on it together - should be fun if I can keep him
interested and following directions. He's stoked about going to
Brodhead this year and seeing real planes that have wings like the ones
he's building.
Here's a shot of it last night after I shaped the rear spar.. I
couldn't resist stringing the ribs up and getting an idea of how space
I'll lose in my shop.

Antenna is ordered, found Mikee's on Ebay for half price. Foam is ordered,
and on it's way for pillows. Gotta get Marci up to speed with the sewing
machine now. I've decided to make the foam pillows, then sew the cover so
it fits around one side and snaps to the airframe around the perimeter to
keep things from moving around. I'm going to use canvas painters tarps for
an old historical (hysterical??) look.
Spent the last two days sanding the fiberglass cowling and finally got it
remounted last night, VERY exciting!! Still have lots of details on that
cowling, but it's coming. Maybe another week or so before that's done.
Then some niggling detail things while the last major ACS order arrives of
Dacron and dope and I can start covering the eppanage and fuse. Doing a
"mock antique doped linen" finish with a color trim of latex, so I don't
anticipate the painting taking too long. Just have to remember that stupid
"hiddin" knot rib stitch I used to be so familiar with.

Not Piet related, but it's of the same era as a Pietenpol. However,
that's not what caught my eye - Jon Apfelbaum's the photographer:

Aww. I was hoping for Black and Yellow. You know, so there could be
two "mean men" to fly before Gene.

the wing center section and put the duffel in the front seat. I camped with
Skip Gadd and Dick Navratil and was adopted by their group of woodworking v
olunteers. I doubt I'll fly in there again, but I'm glad I can cross it off m

Nice.... Must be exciting to be somewhat close.... My #1 question from guests is
still "when will it be done" and it will be a couple more years....

Hi John:
My apologies for the lateness of this post, as I have not been keeping up
with the list this week due to work...
Yes, these were built to the Kerri-Ann Price plans. I liked them, and they
were very complete. I had already built that side of the fuse and went back
to make the adjustments.
I would recommend the plans as the door is a very nice addition and my wife
like's it (read that: she gives me money to buy parts for the plane... :o)
