From: "Jerry Dotson" Jake, I can not stop drooling. The radial, the wicker?? seats, the wheels. Curious about the leading edge of the center section. Will you put a small gas tank in there?

I will keep ya'll in mind as I move forward. I'd still like to move it, but if I can't sell before I move, and moving it is too expensive, then I can probably store it at a friend's warehouse there in Fresno, and continue to market it. Or, the heaven's open up and I get a way to move it here eventually :D Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435239#435239 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:45:03 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: West Coast Piet Project for Sale :( From: "tools" It's a standing offer, and free if it wasn't obvious.

From: "aerocarjake" thx.... I have not yet finished the leading edge of the center section - which will just be "normal secondary structure" not a fuel tank in the leading edge area. I will have a center section tank - without a header tank - which is why I made my center section wider than plans. I might have a small storage area BEHIND the rear spar of the center section...?!?? I don't have too many weight numbers yet. I was going to do some W&B measurements after we did the strut work this past weekend - but it was 35 degrees so I thought that could wait. (Didn't want to "push it" with my help on a chilly day!)
