Yes Bill I agree.... The second featherboard is not the best idea..... I was just
trying to make the whole setup safer and you are right. The idea is to ifnd
a way to keep my hands away from the blade and the push block works well for
that. The rest of the setup could use some refinement......

Chuck,
The V shape completely fills the gap, except for fabric and a little fudge factor
allowance.

Skip, does the V made of balsa completely fill up the gap between the elevator
and stabilizer, or does it just go to the centerline with a similar V on the horizontal
stabilizer? I want to do something similar and would like to know the
answer to the above question. Chuck

Douwe,
I did kind of the same thing. Used 1/8 balsa glued into a V shape, than glued on
the flippers.

Dan I have some oatmeal cartons laying around I could send you that might work
for a gap seal. Theyre Quaker Oats though and the box is of the modern design
so on second thought Could probably find some original ones on Ebay though.
All kidding aside, Im going to make two balsa half rounds or corner moldings and
glue them in there with the faces along the axis which should allow a pretty
tight seal.
Thanks for all the ideas as usual!

To those of you who weren't on the list in January of 2010, an amazing thing happened
back then. People on the list all kicked in to save Jim Markle's Piet
project from being sold during a tough time, and as a result we continue to have
Jim here to kick around. Er, that is- we continue to have Jim here on the
list as a builder and encourager ;o) So Jim, how about a building report on the
"Chicken Camper"? Or are you calling it the "Flying Henhouse"?
By the way, nowadays they have a word for the phenomenon that occurred. it's called
"crowdfunding". I guess back in Mr. Pietenpol's time it was called "passing
the hat". Times change, but there are always good hearts around.
Hey, now here's a thought... you could call your airplane the "Crowdfunded Crowhopper"!

That was a most special time for all of us. I am happy and proud to have been a
part of it and humbled by the generosity of our Pietenpol family. It was challenging,
rewarding and touching to see the heart felt support for Jim and within
22 hours of its onset the goal was achieved.
It was a privilege to be a part of!

It WAS amazing! And I believe what happened went way beyond just someone selling
a Pietenpol project. Or about it being a statement about ME.
Crowdfunding or whatever, this is an amazing group.
I have thought a few times about mentioning it again here on the list. Mainly
because there are a lot of new folks here that weren't around when all that happened.
And I think we sometimes forget, or maybe don't even realize.....
I've thought about a couple names for it (The People's Piet....The Miracle...,
etc) but everything I can come up with to show what it means to me is....well,
pretty hokey.
Progress? Actually, there's been more progress in the last year than in the previous
5 yrs! Tail surfaces are covered and mostly ready for paint. The vertical
stab is painted. A LOT of little piddly details have been finished up in
the last few months. Half of the leading edge 1/16" ply needed to be finished
up and I FINALLY got that on. Sanding and varnishing the wings are finally
done. I finally gave up on my silly idea of TIG welding a tank (built 2 aluminum/leady
tanks and finally gave up) and have gone back to the tank I built from
thin galvanized steel 8 years ago. Recently got a batch of ProSeal (that Flamemaster
stuff actually) to finish sealing it up. And just a LOT of little
things.....
It will be a while yet before she flys but it's getting a lot closer than in the
5-6 years leading up to 2010. I do believe one of my main motivators has been
some of the new Piets that have flown....I'm alwsays so proud when I read all
the "First Flight" reports!
And what an experience when I get to visit people on this list when I travel!
The great Georgia "Big Piet" team, Oscar Z, Harvey, Rick H, Larry W, Mike C, Cliffy,
Jack P, John R, Gary B, Tom T, Bill C, and the list goes on and on...
What an experience that has been for me!
You can be sure of one thing...I NEVER walk into the workshop without thinking
about how close I came to NOT having MY project...and how the goodness of a lot
of special people made a HUGE difference for me. Life just doesn't give gifts
like that too often.....
Thank you.

One of the most fun comments I recall was from a person seriously
interested in buying the Markle Mania Special.
He later remarked that reading the e mails and overwhelming group support
and thought that if he actually did buy the Markle Mania Special, that just
like in the Frankenstein movie. When the towns people took up against the
evil Dr. Frankenstein and marched up the mountain road with Pitch forks,
torches, axes and other implements of destruction towards the castle to end
the rein of the evil Dr. Frankenstein.
He thought the same would happen to him if he purchased it, so rather than
experiencing the wrath of the angry Piet people, he decided to buy a share
or 2 and join the group of supporters. Although I do not remember that
persons name, I sure hope he's still part of us and is flying his own Piet.
I thought it was a great analogy by just one of the special people involved
in the Markle Mania Miracle.

Markle Mania was a truly special event, and MANY were a part of making it happen.
Some gave more than others, but the size of the gift was secondary to the
actual point of helping out a friend in a tough time. The awesomeness of this
group of people is what keeps me going back to Brodhead each year. The first
time I went in 2009, it was to see the airplanes. But each visit after that
was to see the people behind the planes whom are now friends. And I can't wait
to see everyone in 2 weeks even if it is a 980 mile drive (one way). My hope
is to actually fly a Piet there someday!
