I would chip in for a 9" segment.
Really appreciative that Tom has done this - I am getting a short segment from
him. I would like to have a full segment if I can for future bending of longer
parts.....
THANK YOU both for doing this....!

Subject: Vitalis Kapler has passed on.
Dad passed on to the great gig in the sky Thurs Dec 11th about 5:55 pm. 2
014.
It was so beautiful, I held his left hand Jenny held his right, as he was
taking his last breath, I closed my eyes & gave thanks. I had the feeling
of being a little girl again, In the plane with Dad, Taxiing down the runwa
y, sitting at the end of the runway, Revving the engine, checking the wings
just one more time to make sure they worked real good. I turned around and
saw my Dads face with the biggest grin ever. He flashed me the thumbs up s
ign. Up, up, up, and away we went. I had the sensation that I was flying. w
ow I am just in amazement. I am Filled with peace. I will miss him dearly a
nd thank you for your condolences.

Hey All,
I just got my December Sport Aviation with a really nice article on the
Pietenpol and also an article on Doug Ward with his Log Cabin fly in,
also an article on Nordo I felt real good reading this issue, just
like the old days.
Hopefully they will keep it up.

I have tried my best to keep my mouth shut, but my curiosity won't allow it. What
the hell is a gooseneck die and what is it for?

I expected to get a shoebox sized package with some leftover casting blanks and
maybe a jig or two because he said he had some castings that he had rejected
but that would be good for me to practice on. I was wrong. In the box were
many hand-made (and well worn) tools and jigs that he used to make the hinges
over the years, and each of them had an index card taped to it with handwritten
notes on how he used each item and in what sequence. He included samples of
the recommended hinge pins, AN screws, and representative parts in process.
All with hand-written notes on index cards. He included a cutoff saw that he
used to face off the hinge tabs, a machinist's vise t!

emery material to true up the bottom and sides. I have kept all of
the handwritten notes, parts, and everything else. It all means something to
me.

I was wrong.

Then we discussed why he had stopped making the parts and why he was glad
that someone would be taking over the production of the parts. That has been
my only personal contact with Vi Kapler, but it was enough. He has lived his
life the way I want to live the rest of mine, and for the same reasons.
