Okay Gang, This may seem like a dumb question. I'm building up my fuselage sides now, and I was looking ahead to joining them together. Are the braces that run between the fuselage halves really 1/2" x 1"? Those seem awful light. I assume that you attach them with the 1" correspnding to the 1" longerons instead of flat? I see it on the plans but I still have trouble believing it. Thanks, Gary________________________________________________________________________________

The second one, which I am building with Chuck Gantzer, is 2.7 on the wings and fuse and 1.8 for the tail and ailerons. I believe the light (1.8) is good for the entire aircraft, but the 2.7 is more rugged. Not sure how much Poly brush/ tone material is needed, I used Blue River on the first aircraft and oil based floor paint on the second. ________________________________________________________________________________

Gentlemen I have just returned from the CAPA ( Canadian Aircraft PreservationAssociation) annual general meeting. CAPA is now a coast to coastorganization representing Canada's Aviation Museums. A request from theCanadian Aviation Museum ( formerly NAM ) was made known to me. CAVM islooking for a Model A powered Pietenpol for display. Do you or anyone on thelist know of any that might be aquirred? I am sure the CAVM would providefor a good home and proper care of such an aircraft. If you know of one out there, in any condition, please contact myselfjmcnarry(at)techplus.com or Steve Payne at spayne(at)nmstc.caThank you, John McNarry________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 19:33:12 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: New radial engine
