| Subject: | 1 piece vs. 3 piece wing weight? |
Jack=2C I have to say that once covered=2C the one piece is a piece of cake
to flip. I guess the fabric adds some stiffness=2C because two people can
flip it easily with no sag in the middle. Also=2C I built a pretty nifty
rotating jig for painting=2C which I am doing as we speak. Start fueling y
our airplane . . . .

No Dan, whole new "look". The old one just didn't seem to fit the new
engine/nose combo.
It's not a "logo" per-se, I've always liked the old pre-war Sopwith Tabloids
with "SOPWITH" written down the side of the fuselage, very large. I'm
doing the same thing with "RE-PIET" down the sides. That's it, nothing
fancy.

| Subject: | Re: Insurance requirements |
Gary,
I would be willing to do that, provide you get your BFR done before hand. You
won't need a medical since it qualifies as lightsport. Insurance won't be an
issue since I am self insured, code for uninsured. I haven't had any since I
rebuilt it in 2000. Most of my flying is over open desert.
