Just wanted to say hello to the group and let you know there is anotherbuilder in here. I'm in the process of building a long, fir, 3 pieceversion. I've been working a few months and have the tail finish and amwaiting on my longeron material for the fuselage. Also have the sparmaterial on order.Bought a set of 32 ribs from a gentleman from Indiana at Sun & Fun. Ihaven't checked the drawings but I thought it was an odd number of ribsthat were required ??? They really are a nice set and I could not buildthem for what he was asking for them. Also picked up a nice tailwheel &compass. Looked at some airspeed indicators & altimeters. Looks like thebest buy is from the ultralite vendors. You can actually purchase (witha warranty) some of the lower end gages for what you pay for a fadedused one.Met a gentleman at Sun & Fun named Mr. Wise from Orlando that had aolder piet. Had a neat landing gear arrangement that used the fenders asbrakes. Lot's of good ideas were gathered from this piet being it wasthe first completed piet I had put my hands on.There was a Travelair next to his that was owned by a Gene Rambo. Isthis the same Gene Rambo that posts here ??Lunch is over and I have to get back to work. Thanks to all the finepeople I have met here and lets keep this thing going.Take care all and be safe,Craig WilliamsNeeses, SC________________________________________________________________________________
