Gardner,
Yes, I have a front starter and alternator (dynamo) per the typical William Wynne
setup. Very happy with it so far. Han's cowl design covers the starter quite
nicely.
Jack,
The bolts I think you are referencing in center section are across the bottom of
both spars to secure the fore an aft fuel tank supports. The supports are composed
of a 1" sq. wood piece and a 3/4" alum. angle ( I notched the rear support
in the center for the fuel take off point. the front support is continuous).
I am attaching a pic of the aft support.

I really liked the look of the cowl. Do you have a drawing with dimensions available?
I looks cleaner than most I have seen.

HI Gary,
Thanks again for coming over and helping get the engine ready for starting. I thought
there was a wrench missing but couldn't figure out where.
Thanks for putting the video on U tube; don't know how to do that. The computer
said the video was too long to send the whole thing so you all got a short clip
of the video.
Cheers,
Jim

Hi Bill,
Just got out of the garage this morning from painting it a medium gray color; not
saying what the final paint job may be but who knows it might end up anothe
black and something Piet!
The paint job at first engine start was a little on the weird side, have to admit
it.
It really is a great feeling to see and hear it run...finally.
Thanks,

Yes, Jim. Broke my hip exactly 6weeks ago, but have been flying for the pas
t three weeks. Just short flights, but it is still lying!
Your plane looks beautiful. Guess I had better quit building mine, all you g
uys are putting me to shame!
I will be going to the EAA Workshop for fabric covering in Watsonville on Ma
rch 23-24. Hope what I learn will help me do as nice a Job as you have one.
Maybe I will have to take lessons from you and Gary.

So happy to see the great progress Jim!!! Looks like you are going the lat
ex finish route. Sure is easier and less expensive. They say it is easier
to repair as well. Looks like you will be flying by west coast Piet time
in June but may not have the 40 flown off to make the trip. Good for you!

Sent this before from my iphone but thought I'd send again from my computer and
add some details.
Got her buttoned up after all the eyebrows/baffling installation and snuck in a
flight this evening. Wanted to ck temps and security of the eyebrow installation,
so I took off and climbed with full power to 3,000, watching the cht, which
stayed nicely in the green. Without the eyebrows I couldn't climb full power
without it threatening to go out of the green, so that solves that!
Was a beautiful, smooth evening. Flew for 20 minutes, sidelipped down to pattern
altitude and made a decent landing considering I haven't flown for three months.
Can't wait to get back into the saddle.
One weird thing. When I drained my tank sump for water, the gas was unusually
dark blue for a bit. Does the dye settle in the fuel?? got normal after a few
drains.

the Continental engines were even built. My guess is that the differences
are akin to the difference between the FGM version and the Orrin Hoopman version
of the Air Camper plans. The Hoopman plans are identified as the "improved"
Air Camper, which gives a little bit more room for pilot and passenger. I
would suggest checking the dates on both sets of plans, and go with the later
version (most likely the plans from the Pietenpol family).

Don't =C2-stop, keep it going. My PIet is standoff scale like we use to m

I have a feeling your Sky Scout will look just like your Wiex (howevery you

HI Vic,
I do hope to have it flying by then but probably would have to taxi to Frazier
Lake due to the 40 hours. I think that would be a scary trip with the traffic
on 101.
I just spent this morning painting the fuselage a medium gray primer. Not saying
what paint or colors yet. Originally wanted to paint it green but so many of
the newest PIets are green or shades of green I may change my mind and its colors!
Thanks for the nice comments.
