The Piet looks good Greg. I like the weight of 637 also; you must have been
careful during building to keep it light. Cheers, Jim

Greg; a couple of additional questions, if you don't mind. (1) What engine and
carb do you have on there? (2) What's the fuel capacity in your centersection
tank? (3) Are those the Carlson extruded aluminum wing struts? Also, and this
is a small item, it looks like you have black (CAT) hose from the carb heat
muff to the air box. CAT is rated for 300F, while the red-orange SCAT hose
is silicone impregnated and is rated higher, 500F. The recommendations I've seen
are to use SCAT for anything ahead of the firewall, but in this application
with such a short section of hose and a LOT of ventilation air passing over
it, probably not a factor. For a tightly cowled installation, yes.

Continental A65 with a Stromberg carb.
16 gallon center section tank.
Yes, those are Carlson aluminum struts.
Comments on the SCAT tubing have been noted.
