Ground fog hanging in the valleys, ABSOLUTELY still. I just putted around at 2,000rpm with my feet on the rudder not touching the stick and controlling my altitude with tiny touches on the elevator trim button. Super sweet. KEEP AT IT BUILDERS!!! See you all soon!!!!

Great feeling. So what to do next while the epoxy sets...? Hummm... How about the little strips of 1/4 x1/8 between the ply gussets on the top of the fuse toward the tail! Great... Done. Now what? Oh well, why don't I cut the 1/8" ply firewall blank. Ok! But first, lemme tack nail some 1/4" thick "spacers along the front of the fuse sides to represent the thickness of the ply side walls (not installed yet) so I don't make the firewall too narrow. Great idea. Fire up the air compressor, grab the nail gun, and pop 3 LONG nails into each of the spacers along the front strut that the firewall will glue to. I want LONG nails so i can pull them out easily. Finished one side. Move to the right side... Tack the top in place, now the bottom... Now one in the middle to keep it from bowing... Oh, I need to push it forward a bit to be flush with the firewall...hold It there with your thumb, good. Need some back pressure with your middle finger on the back side... Good now shoot the nail. Right through the wood and into that sweet, helpful middle finger, dead center. Good shot! Dead center of the meaty part of the FU finger! It'll heal, in fact, pretty much already had. But the ego.... Oh, the shame of it. I guess I didn't need all the pressure I had turned up on the compressor!! Doap.

Very good fit and finish, and it's always so nice to see the rugged simplicity of the Pietenpol fuselage framing.

Thanks, Bill E ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 09:03:55 PM PST US From: "Gary Boothe" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Air Camper Plans Bill, I'm not familiar with the reproduction plans from the EAA. I purchased my plans from Don Pietenpol and they are quite adequate. I also purchased the Corvair supplemental, which was useful, but not as a plan for building the actual mount. That mount was designed for a Corvair with the blower on top. I am hoping you will be following the William Wynne Conversion (www.flycorvair.com) and it will be best to use his mount or mount plans.
