Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Question on wing coveringI bought my first set of plans from Chad Wiley of St Croix Aircraft. Hehas his own center section plan which includes root ribs and centersecton ribs made up from 1/4" X 3/4" stock instead of 1/4" X 1/2",I have made the ribs but haven't built up the wings yet. The ribs areamazingly stout. Him and his Dad have been building Piets since theearly 40's.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Pietenpols near AustinRound Rock and Austin bring back some wilddddddd memories. On the way to a wild Sat night in Austin from Camp Hood back in 43, 3 beered up 2d Lt's were stopped 8 miles out of R R by the Texas Highway reception committee and taken to the J P court in R R. Had to go to his home and get him. He was annoyed as he was working on his Sunday school lesson. He opened the court in his P J's and slippers and a frown on his face. Ole Corky was about to mess his pants. I hadn't even seen R R to slow down but that didn't matter. When he said, Twelve dollars OR twelve days we quickly pooled our cash and got the heck out of R R. Moral of this story: I have grandchildren in the R R school district who may have benefited from our $12 contributionI'm keeping the Piet locations and phone numbers and if O K I'll call on my next visit to my daughter somewhere near Westwood school.Corky in La only 13 miles from Texas________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2001 09:48:27 -0800
