I just looked at your pictures. You are a very good craftsman. Your airplane is fantastic. Keep up the good work and post more pictures. Are you flying it yet ? You seem so close to finishing.

Ive used tape, rubber bands, paper clips, wedges and anything I can think of to clamp glue joints. It keeps my mind working and I hear that is a good thing.

They are cheap, do not clamp very tight, they are cheap, the epoxy wont stick to them and they are cheap. Did I mention they were cheap? This way if they get wrecked you can toss them. To date no nails have been harmed in the building of my plane.

Well=2C as the co ntroller says on the radio=2C "Experimental Four-One-Charlie-Charlie=2C wha t are your intentions?"... I'll put this out as one of my early New Year's resolutions: it is my intention to sell my Air Camper in 2014. Not right this minute=2C but in a few months. Besides a pair of kayaks and a rowboat that I'm waiting to get started on =2C I have three other aircraft building projects in various stages of comp letion waiting in line after it and I only have one hangar=2C so Scout will be scouting for a new home. I have about 5 months to get it in shape to m ove=2C and that means wrapping up the tweaks that I've been putting on it =2C getting a fresh annual condition inspection=2C and getting in some last fun flights this spring before I fly it down to Frazier Lake for the West Coast fly-in in June. I am planning to make that a one-way trip down for N X41CC=2C with the hope of leaving it with its new buyer there or someplace in that vicinity. I will also fly it to a new buyer's location if it's alm ost anyplace in Washington=2C Oregon=2C California=2C or Nevada. I know these are not the best of economic times so if I don't sell it in Ju ne=2C I will probably hangar it down at Hanford in care of my friend Pat Pa nzera until the KR fly-in happens down in Chino in September=2C then I'll f ly it down there for that event as well as to see if anyone is interested i n it down in SoCal. If it doesn't sell at Chino=2C I plan to fly it over t o Casa Grande Oct. 23-25 for the Copperstate fly-in to see if I can find a buyer for it there. If it doesn't sell there=2C I'll probably fly it back to Hanford for the winter. In any event=2C it will be for sale in a few mo nths and I'll post more information and links to a webpage with pictures at that time. Meanwhile "move along... there's nothing to see here!" =3Bo) I'm not giving up on Piets=2C not leaving the Piet list=2C just planning to move on to other things and I also want to share the joy of Pietenpoling w ith someone who has the interest in flying these really fun little airplane s and who understands Scout. In my hangar I still have all of the plywood =2C spar stock=2C and other wood needed to construct the bones of another A ir Camper. I also have a complete new set of landing gear legs and bracket s with spoked motorcycle-wheels/tires and brakes=2C a tailwheel=2C pulleys =2C and various other bits needed to make a good start on another Piet. I have the templates and prototype for making all-aluminum=2C non-rib-stitche d wing ribs with gapless=2C hingeless metal ailerons for Air Camper wings =2C so who knows if I'll jump into that project somewhere down the line. Happy 2014=2C and here's looking at you=2C kid!
