Never heard them called that before.- Never thought of the engine as havi

ngine has the same number of eyes as it does ears.- But cooling eyebrows
is usually the terminology used (assuming you're referring to the scoops th
at are used to direct cooling air over the cylinders, as per the J3 Cub and
similar aircraft with exposed cylinders).- Referring to them as "ear muf
fs" will likely elicit a few raised eyebrows (pun intended). =0AJust sayin'

It sounds like a very nice project and I agree with Oscar about the gear especially.
It would be akin to a quick build kit for anyone who is contemplating

Subject: | Re: discolor-ation |
Jack,
Sorry for the delay getting back to you. I had a 3 day weekend. I have 16" wheels
from the late 1920's. They were sold by Hayes for airplanes back in the day.
They have three rows of spokes in them, meaning 1 row in the center and a
row on each side near the bead. The outside rows help prevent the wheels from
collapsing from side loads. My spoke are also straight laced, meaning that
they do not cross. This prevents me from installing any brakes on the hub. The
hub would simply just spin and break the spokes if a load were to be applied
to it. The hubs, spokes and rims are all steel. I have no idea how many spokes
are in them.
Bottom line here is that my wheels could probably be copied but it would require
a lot of work and manufacturing. I have only seen these wheels on one other
airplane and it was in a museum somewhere. I have seen one or two pictures of
planes with them.
I hope I haven't discouraged you. It just that the wheels I have are very rare
and probably not cost effective to replicate. There are a lot of Piets out there
with 21" wheels that look fantastic and seem to function very well. Oh and
you can put brakes on them. Sometimes not having brakes is a bit bothersome.
Sorry about the over sized Pic. I don't know how to change the size.
Cheers,
--------

Subject: | Re: Scott or Maule tail Wheel |
I have a solid 6" tail wheel on mine. Although not a Scott or Maule. Like the
RV guys have. It works great on all surfaces. Asphalt, Grass, Dirt, Mud and
Sand. Tried them all.
My buddies Maule tail wheel went flat this past weekend. He had to stuff it with
rags and rope to get the plane home since he didn't have a spare tube with
him.
Stuff to think about.

Well folks, good news! NX321LR took to the air last night for it first flight!!
what a rush. I was very windy, but straight down the runway. All went well other
than a little bit of coughing from my powerplant which just about gave me
a heart attack.....but it smoothed out. Still analyzing why......im thinking some
moisture in the fuel tank that got mixed with the gas and found its way to
the carb. I am downloading videos as we speak so you all can see it. I had a
go-pro mounted to the wing strut which shows the whole flight, its pretty cool!!
Thanks for all the support thru the years!!

Subject: | Re: Scott or Maule tail Wheel |
I did not build my Piet. This is my first venture into 'amateur' built airplanes
coming from a position of only flying production aircraft. One tends to take
a lot for granted in the world of production birds that I am learning you cant
do in Piets. Having read the last couple of posts.My fun meter is swaying
more towards the Scott 2000 (6) instead of the Scott 3200 (8). Here is what
I think Ive have gleaned out of the posts in this thread. Please correct any
misgivings I have below.
(1) If one adds a leaf spring to the tail wheel it logically extends the size
of the three-point foot print by as much as 14 inches. Is this a good thing
or a bad thing for a Piet?
(a) Has anyone figured out how to mount the Scott 2000 to the a-frame that the
little Piet tail wheel is attached to? Is there a reason why one would NOT
want to do this?
(2) Folks are using the Scott 2000. I think I am going that way as well. TailDrags
wrote that with the skid, Piets can get closer to a 3-point attitude
for landing that produces the slowest landing speed and shorter roll-out. So,
I get the impression that adding the Scott 2000 will decrease the 3-point attitude
which results in a little faster landing speed and longer roll-out. Is
the difference significant?
(a) Kinda off topic For those of you who wheel land their Piets what are your
V-speeds for final and touch down?
(3) rags stuffed into a tire inner tube. That is creative!
Thanks everyone for your thoughts!

I've looked for pictures but couldn't find any to show how the 1/2" spruce supports
were attached to the ribs. I understand the other end is attached to the
spars but am not certain how to mount the support to the rib?

Ok Guys,
Here are the videos, I am open to any comments on the engine sputter you will hear.....just
to note, this flight was performed by my good friend and very talented
flight instructor Jim Wheeler.
We got her back on the ground did some full power run up and never missed a beat.
The in flight video is better than the ground view.
Enjoy!!

Scott,
Thanks for the info. I now have 21" wheels but no brakes. I'm looking for info
to make a good decision because I can't use them, I need brakes.
Thanks again,

a row on each side near the bead. The outside rows help prevent the wheels from
collapsing from side loads. My spoke are also straight laced, meaning that
they do not cross. This prevents me from installing any brakes on the hub.
The hub would simply just spin and break the spokes if a load were to be applied
to it. The hubs, spokes and rims are all steel. I have no idea how many
spokes are in them.

The purpose of that piece is to keep the fabric from pulling in the rib... so...
It needs to attach to the rib at the cap strip, top and bottom, however will do
so. You could put a vertical rib piece with the gussets, which would then give
you some gluing area, or you could put a doubler of sufficient size under
the cap strip, a piece about 1x1, one half inch thick (to match the cap strip)
and glue/nail it to that (and another on the bottom strip for that support).
Adding the vert rib member with gussets seems the most logical.
It seems to me that the end ribs have the verticals in there anyway.
The two coming together provide back up support for each other. Since it's largely
end grain, I'd glue and nail.

One thing that will happen is the covering will pull in the top and bottom cap
strips if not well braced. Remember that half the load of the shrinking covering
parallel to the leading edge will be on the root rib and the bow tip.

Chris,
It looks and sounds terrific. I like it. The engine cutting out sounded a little
like ignition to me. Very hard to tell without being there. Do the electrical
gauges or volt gauge move when it does that?
Can you prop it with the gear reduction unit? Just curious.

Perhaps a better question would be "why?".
150hp is way too much power for a plane designed to fly on 40-100hp.
And the dry weight of the engine is 275 lb.
The smaller R2800 is a proven powerplant for the Air Camper, as seen on Dick Navratil's
well publicized NX25RN.

Subject: | Poly fiber issues |
Well fellow Pieters,
Here is the state I am in. After 10 years of building I am ready to buy some certified
aircraft topcoat. My preference is to go with Poly Tone. My issue is now
trying to determine what the colors available are. After talking to Aircraft
Spruce I find that the only color chart they have available is just an offset
printed approximation. Many of you may know that I am a retired technical director
of an International coatings company. Paint formulation and color control
has been my life for over 40 years. To now find out that I have to spend more
than $100 per gallon for a coating that is non returnable, for a color that
I have no real idea what I am ordering is more than I can take.
Is there anybody on the list that has some left over paint that can help me out?
What I am looking for is a yellow that is not too bright. I want to paint the
Piet basically like a "yellow" Curtiss Jenny without the lower wing. A cub yellow
is to bright and saturated. The yellow on Dan Yocum's Piet would probably
work, but I don't know if Dan knows what color his yellow is.
What I am looking for is a couple of dabs of left over poly tone yellow on some
white card stock to a least get some idea of what the color is.

Rick; I can empathize with you... I searched high and low for a match for the yellow
on Scout and got pretty close with some, but the Poly-Tone yellow (which,
it turns out, is almost exactly the same yellow as is used on highway centerline
stripes) was always just a little different from what I was finding.
I would go around the retail distributor and cut right to the source... Poly Fiber
in Riverside, CA. I would be greatly surprised if they weren't willing and
able to send you some actual color swatches of the paints that you are interested
in. And in fact, I have a daughter living in Carlsbad and family in Fallbrook,
not too far from Riverside, and if you needed to have someone go by Poly
Fiber to pick up swatches and mail them to you, I'll bet that could be arranged
too.

By the way, I believe the yellow paint on my airplane is "Federal Yellow", and if you look at the typical color chart (such as this one: http://www.hangar10aerosupply.com/poly-fiber%20color%20chart.htm ), you'll see that Federal Yellow on the chart bears no resemblance to what is on the airplane, here: http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/NX41CC02.jpg . I agree... if you're going to spend the money, you need to know what you're going to get!

Rick,
I think i have an original color chart from Poly Fiber. I'll look tonight
when I get to the airport. If so, I'll drop it in the mail to you.
I like Oscar's suggestion. I used to make it to Riverside at least a
couple times a year and would always schedule a trip to the Flabob airport
to eat at the little restaurant there. Classic airport food! Bad in a
good sort of way. You'd be doing someone a favor by asking them to go
there on your behalf.
Another suggestion, assuming I don't have the color chart that I can send
you, is to check with Univair. I believe that they still provide an old
fashioned color chart, not just something printed on a color printer.
Cheers, Ken

Gentlemen,
I'm new to the list although I've been reading it for some time. I've acquired
a Piet project. I've just OVH the model A engine am now working on the airframe.
My current dilemma is the wheels. After talking to Buchanan wheel and rim it
seems I have more question than answers. I have 21" spoked wheels used as a
prototype (not airworthy). Should I use steel or aluminum rims, SS or chrome spokes
and how many. It seems that 40 is typical. And since I will have brakes
they will be cross laced. Any help would be appreciated.
My goal is to fly to Brodhead next year. I drove this year (long trip).

Hey Rick
Also took me 10 years to get my Piet to airworthiness status. One
suggestion, consider External Latex, save a ton of dough and get exactly
the color and texture you want as easily as going to your nearest Sherwin
Williams store (and avoid taking several years of your life breathing toxic
stuff). Guy did a great latex seminar at this years AirVenture, I think he
put the video on youtube. He sands between coats and gets a finish as shiny
as on a new car.
Attached pictures my latex durability test panel I covered with med.
dacron and painted with 2 coats on one side and 3 coats of semigloss ext
latex on the other. Pictures were taken after being outside facing true
South at 6700ft. 24x7 for about 6 years (have been out there for about 8
years now and don't look hardly any different). The close-up picture shows
indentations from a punch tester that went to the limit of the tester
without going through.

Rick,
Let me echo what Rick (H) says. We used Benjamin Moore. Their high end
acrylic in water suspension product, which runs $50 a gallon. Expensive
for house paint. Cheap for airplanes. It is easy to get the exact color
you want. And because they have the mix computerized, easy to get more
when the first batch runs out.
I think (all humility and modesty aside) that it came out looking
sensational. We did prime using the Stewart System primer, but color coats
were sprayed on Latex. We followed the instructions provided by Malcolm
Morrison.
Here's a cheap plug. He's doing a webinar later this week on his latex
process. It is hosted by the EAA.

Subject: | Re: Scott or Maule tail Wheel |
I never look at the airspeed indicator less than 60 when I'm landing in any mode.
If I'm three pointing, I slow in the flare to a 3 pt attitude, then let it
descend.
However, I find that I run out of pitch authority at that point which makes sense...
it basically stalls at that point.
If I'm wheel landing, I slow to a slightly nose up attitude (somewhat more attitude
than when I get the tail up to accelerate quickly), then let it descend onto
the wheels. This gives me a comfortable amount of nose down available after
the wheels touch to keep it on the ground.

A 150 hp engine on a Pietenpol would be very expensive and unnecessary.
Also three blade prop would be quieter but not necessary.

Jack,
Here is some good info on wire spoked wheels,
http://www.westcoastpiet.com/wire_wheels.htm
To answer your questions specifically:
1. Steel vs. aluminum rims - Use aluminum if you can find them for the
weight savings. The rims are a small percentage of the total weight of the
wheel so using steel won't be a deal breaker.
2. SS vs. chrome spokes - My vote goes to SS. It's an airplane operating on
grass and dirt. Your wheels will take some abuse and they will get marked
up.
3. 40 vs. 36 spokes - Let your rim selection determine spoke number. You may
find 36 spoke rims are more common than 40 spoke rims.

Experimental Two-One Lima Romeo, that was excellent. The test period is there
for a reason; you'll figure out the hiccup and soon you'll be enjoying Pietenpoling
too. Beautiful airplane, sweet engine, nearly perfect first flight.
Watching the first flight video, I hope you could sense Mr. Pietenpol and Mr. Poberezny
smiling as they watched over your shoulder. This is exactly what they
wanted.

Subject: | Official Pietenpol-List FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) |
Dear Listers,
Please read over the Pietenpol-List Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below. The
complete Pietenpol-List FAQ including the Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Pietenpol-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,
Matt Dralle
Matronics Email List Administrator
[ Note: This FAQ was designed to be displayed with a fixed width font such as
Courier. Proportional fonts will cause display formatting errors. ]
This FAQ can also be viewed in HTML online at the following address:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm
************************************************************
******* LIST POLICIES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS *******
************************************************************
PLEASE READ. This document contains Pietenpol-List policies and information
for new and old subscribers. Understanding the Pietenpol-List policies will
minimize problems for the Administrator, and will help keep the Pietenpol-List
running smoothly for all of us.
******************************************
*** Quick Start Guide to List Features ***
******************************************
There are many features available on the Matronics Email Lists and each
one is described in detailed below. However, using the List Navigator
you can quickly access the complete set of features available for this
List. The List Navigator can be found at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pietenpol-List
****************************************
*** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe ***
****************************************
Simply go to the Web Page shown below and enter your email address and
select the List(s) that you wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from. You
may also use the handy "Find" function to determine the exact syntax of
your email address as it is subscribed to the List. Please see the
complete instructions at the top of the Web Page for more information.
The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web page is:
http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
Note that you will receive TWO conformation emails regarding your subsciption
process. The first verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request
was received, and the second confirms that the process has been completed.
You should receive the first email within a few minutes of your request.
The second conformation will arrive in less than 24 hours. You cannot post
until you receive the second conformation email message.
*****************************
*** How to Post a Message ***
*****************************
Send an email message to:
pietenpol-list@matronics.com
Your message will be redistributed to everyone currently subscribed
to the List.
*****************************************************
*** SPAM Fighter - You Must be Subscribed to Post ***
*****************************************************
When a new post is received by the system, the From: line of the message
is checked and compared against the current subscription list. If the
email address is found, the message is passed on to the List Processor.
If the email address isn't found in the current list of subscribers, it
is dumped. This serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that
gets posted to the Lists.
Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address is very important
with regard to the configuration of your email application such as Outlook
or Eudora. For example, the following two email addresses may be
functionally equivalent, but only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM
test depending on which was syntax was subscribed to the given List:
smith@machine.domain.com
smith@domain.com
Either email address syntax is alright, just be sure that you configure
your email application to match *exactly* the address you've subscibed to
the List.
**************************************
*** Enclosure Support on the Lists ***
**************************************
Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures, documents, and spreadsheets
is supported on the Lists. There are a number of restrictions, and these
are detailed below. Please abide by the rules put forth regarding the
content of enclosures.
These are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the Matronics
Lists:
1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the Lists.
2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of the Lists.
3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site.
4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives.
5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature.
6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed:
bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt xls
All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to
sender. The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from
a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security risk.
7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to posting
to the List. This is done in real time and will not slow down
the process of posting the message !!
Here are some rules for posting enclosures. Failure to abide by these rules
could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from the Lists.
1) Pay attention to what you are posting!! Make sure that the files
you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB). Remember that there
are still people checking they're email via dial up modem. If you post
30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these
folks and the rest of us, for that matter.
2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000
pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just
unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture
down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the
file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less.
Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows
you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically
scale it down and resave it. This is a great utility - get it, use it!
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Look for the link "Image Resizer"
3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Do not
post anything that would be considered offensive by your grandmother.
And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even
questionable. !!
4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members
subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting
to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!! BE CAREFUL and
BE COURTEOUS!
Also see the section below on the Matronics Photo and File Share where
you can have your files and photos posted on the Matronics web server
for long time viewing and availability.
*******************
*** Digest Mode ***
*******************
Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started.
This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended
to the archive file. It has all of the headers except for the "From:"
and "Subject:" lines removed, and includes a message separator consisting
of a line of underscores.
Each day at 23:55 PST US, the day's messages as described above will be
combined and sent as a single message to everyone on the digest email list.
To subscribe to the digest list, use the same subscription web form
described above, and just select the Digest version of the List.
http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
Note that you *can* be subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions
of the List at the same time. This is perfectly acceptable.
Now some caveats:
* Messages sent to "pietenpol-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard
email list. In other words, you cannot post messages only to the
digest List.
* If you are subscribed to both the regular List and the digest List, you
will receive the realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of
the day.
* If you reply to the digest email, your message will be forwarded to the
normal list associated with the digest. Important Note: Please change
the subject line to reflect the topic of your response! Also, please
*do not include all or most of the digest in your reply*.
****************************
*** List Digest Browser ***
****************************
An archive of all the List Digests can be found online in either plain text
or HTML format. These archives contain the exact Digest that was posted to
the Digest email list on the given day. The Digest Archives can be found
at the following location:
http://www.matronics.com/digest
*****************************************
*** The "DO NOT ARCHIVE" Message Flag ***
*****************************************
At times, your message may concern something that is revelent only to a very
small number of persons or to a limited area, and you may not wish to archive
it. In such a case, simply put the following phrase anywhere in the
message:
do not archive
Your message will not be appended to the archive, but will be sent to List
email distribution as normal.
**********************************************
***** READ THIS - Automatic Unsubscribes *****
**********************************************
Note that if your email address begins to cause problems such as bounced
email, mailbox is filled, or any other errors, your address will be promptly
removed from the List. If you discover that you are no longer receiving
messages from the Pietenpol-List, go to the following Web page, and look
for your email address and a possible reason for your removal.
The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that
automatically looks though the day's bounced email for addresses that
caused problems due to common things like "user is unknown", "mailbox
full", etc. If the Email Weasel removes your email address from the
Lists you will find record of it at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/unsubscribed
If the problem listed on the web site above has been resolved, please feel
free to resubscribe to the Lists of your choice.

*** Web Forums Bulletin Board Interface ***
*******************************************
A phpBB BBS web Forums front end is available for all Pietenpol-List content.
content. The Forums contain all of the same content available via the email
distribution and found on the various archive viewing formats such as the
List Browse, etc. Any posts on the web Forums will be cross posted to the
respective email List, and posts to the Email List will be cross posted to
the web Forums.

*** Matronics Email List Wiki ***
*********************************
In an attempt to make it easy to store and find structured and often accessed
information, Matronics has installed a Wiki at:
http://wiki.matronics.com
The Wiki allows individuals to create web pages to contain useful information
for other users of the mailing lists and web site. Unlike an ordinary web page
where the content needs to be submitted to Matronics for inclusion, the Wiki
permits the users to construct their own pages and have them visible immediately.
While constructing pages for the Wiki is not difficult, some may not be
comfortable building pages. In that case, simply prepare the text and any
images and email it to:
wiki-support@matronics.com
One of the volunteers on that list will take your submission and construct
a Wiki page for you.
Often someone produces a particularly useful posting in email one one of the
Lists that would be of general interest. In that case Matronics may take that
post and convert it into a Wiki page.
*********************

*** List Support Contributions ***
**********************************
The Matronics Lists are run *completely* through the support of it members.
You won't find any PopUpAds, flashing Banner ads, or any other form of
annoying commercialism on either the Email Messages or the List web pages
associated with the Matronics Email Lists. Every year during November
I run a low-key, low-pressure "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month,
I ask List members to make a Contribution in any amount with which they
are comfortable.
I will often offer free gifts with certain contribution levels during the
Fund Raiser to increase the participation. The gifts are usually donated
by companies that are themselves List members.
Your Contributions go directly to supporting the operation of the Lists
including the high-speed, business-class Internet connection, server
system hardware and software upgrades, and to partially offset the many
many hours I spend running, maintaining, upgrading, and developing the
variety of services found here.
Generally Contributions range from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary
and non-compulsory. I ask only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains
value from them, that they make a Contribution of equal magnitude.
Contributions are accepted throughout the year, and if you've just
subscribed, feel free to make a Contribution when you've settled in.
The website for making SSL Secure Contributions is listed below. There are
a variety of payment methods including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and
sending a personal check.
If you enjoy and value the List, won't you make a Contribution today to
support its continued operation?

- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Pietenpol-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Pietenpol-List in the manner described below may result

Pietenpol-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Pietenpol-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
