Tom I searched the archives for a picture and couldn't find one. Can you share
one? Are they stainless? Thanks!

Huge step forward in getting the People's Piet in the air! Very exciting. I worked
out a nice easy project plan that had me finishing the fuse and starting
on the wings right after the new year. It's really great to be well ahead of
schedule and still not feeling rushed.
And covering is FUN!!!
Oscar...I better not EVER find out you were in the area and DIDN'T stop by!! Or
any of you'se guys for that matter! Especially now, there's a LOT of painting
to get done! LOL
Hope the Holidays are good for everyone!

Steve,
If you are hunting a deserving recipient think of me. I would put it in a prominent
place on NX510JD's panel. Looks mighty good.

Sorry Jerry, I just want advice before I start trying to correct for
deviation. It is only about 5 degrees off and that is close enough just to
use a correction card. After I get the plane up and flying I will probably
come back and try to adjust that out.
Keep you eye out. Some sell for up to $800. others much cheaper. As far as
rebuilding, They use an Airpath kit. Airpath says refill with odorless
mineral spirits.

Jack,
The pic of the Die is attached although not all the dim's are shown. If you need
additional info, I can measure the die, and add additional dim's.
The material is alloy steel, probable 1018, or thereabouts. There is no nose radius,
so I'm going to add one for my own bending, maybe .09 or so.
Bending our U shapes fittings should be pretty easy with this. You will need to
procure or mill a VEE block, as I don't have any of those.

I'll take a 9" length if that is possible....?
My press brake has a 9 &1/8" opening - so less than 9" is ok but it can't be greater.
THANK YOU...!
Let me know how to get the funds to you.
