While doing some maintenance at the hangar yesterday, with the assistance of
Curt Merdan who was on a lay-over, Chris Tracy dropped by with his beautiful
daughter, Rachel, to show us his progress on his wing tank.
Looking great, Chris!!!

Nice fuel tank! What's the prize for the person who can correctly guess how many
Ping-Pong balls will fit inside it?

Anybody seen or heard from Steve since he bought John Kuhfahl's Piet? Last I heard,
he had moved it to his hangar and was working up a list of tasks needed
to finish it up and get it in the air. John is an A&P and can sign it off when
the time comes to begin test flights, and he lives on the field where Steve
keeps the airplane.
I think that's the way it would work, since the airplane is registered and flew
previously, and to my knowledge there were no major modifications made to it
in the rebuild so it would be an annual condition inspection with an itemized
list in the logbook of things that were done . I'm no expert on that kind of
stuff though.

Chris your tank looks good. I liked the picture of the center baffle. So now are
you going to seal it or have it welded?
if you need Gary's rivet puller send me a note and I will ship it to you.
Cheers,
Jim

Finally finished the fuselage this weekend...I had maybe a shot glass full of Eco
glue left from a gallon...came close. Prime it this week and paint the next.
Then final assembly! I'm very anxious, as I can see the finish line.

By way of inspiration...
Snuck in another flight yesterday in a tiny break from all this nasty
weather. Was 50 degrees when I took off, so only put on my flying jacket,
but got cold after about 45 minutes. Didn't see any Huns so I basically
spent the time buzzing my house and running the engine at full rpm to break
it in. Wanted to visit some grass fields in the area, but they were
probably too wet so didn't want to take any chances, so basically am flying
off the 40 hrs.
You can see the new cooling eyebrows, which work great, but ruin the
aesthetic lines of the cowling from some angles, oh well...
Busted 20 hours, so halfway there!!
Cruise at 2300 SEEMS to be averaging around 70.
Keep on building, it's worth it!!

Hi Gary,
Nice to see you have made it to the airport, flying? Also nice to see Chris
is making progress! I have been stalled for the last 7weeks.
Gary, what weight fabric did you use on your plane? How about some of you ot
her folks? Anyone using the light material, or all the medium?
I just took the EEA Fabric class this weekend at Watsonville, excellent clas
s. I learned a lot about the Poly Fiber System. Now I must start thinking a
bout this. One fellow has 32 yards of the light weight available at a good p
rice. Should I use it? I plan on using the Stewart System, but the fabric i
s the same.
Thanks,
Ray Krause
