No sweat on the design for the patches, IF someone can get Grant McLarento OK the use of his original design (the red one). From there, it's nosweat at all to snag the Pietenpol signature from the blue one and createa hybrid. It sounds like most folks like the red design but also like theblue signature.If DJ Vegh were still on this list, he could do it in no time flat.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: PatchesOscar.You re quite the resource and Piet champion. and while I am thinking about it congratulations on a job well done. Saved a Piet and brought it back to tile in Alaska and made some people happy in the process. Not a bad days work. That's great.Now for the more challenging the patch or patches. We should have one for the Piet and its creator and a special edition 80 th year anniversary patch forBrodhead and Oshkosh.BTW there are only silent thoughts so anyone and everyone is welcome to join in with ideas and comments this should be a collaborative work it just seems fitting to celibate the aircraft and it following in addition to the creation of the Piet.If we wanted to we could make them available at cost plus for the members with the plus proceeds going to a trust or museum or worthy project, like Alaska Piet.It seems odd the few people that actually knw about the Piet, fewer that have ever seen one and even fewer that have ridden on one, owned one , flownone or built one. Its a tremendous legacy that should be advertised rather themkept within the circles of just we few. Its just too important an aircraft to go unnoticed.JohnSorry for the soap box, too much sawdust today "buldapalooza" its a happening thing.**************One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail.

First off, congratulations on your efforts with the Aerial project Oscar!Jess and I are now proud owners of most of a one piece wing, a fuselage, a horizontal stab, and most of the metal fittings (Del Magsam's old project)! We are very excited. I took a few pics, but my digicam memory card decided to stop playing ball, so I'll take more the next time we are out. Stupid thing...it's only dealt with every temperature extreme and weather situation out there for four years, plus a little combat here and there....they just don't make them like they used to.Anyhow, the one piece wing is not what we we were planning on building, but it is what the project came with. We decided we would deal with it; in the end it will get us in the air faster. We spent some quality time with it on Saturday (most of the day), trying to manhandle it into it's new home in a friend's small outbuilding/aircraft factory. All I can say is....wow...my hat's off to Bernard and all those who followed that built and dealt with the one piece wing. It defeated all of our plans to loft it that day, so it is sitting on supports on the ground level (not literally on the ground) for now. After having to deal with this monstrosity, I figured I would pose the question: would it be feasible to convert this to a three piece wing? Here are some details about the wing:It has Charlie Rubeck ribs that were varnished before being slipped onto the spars. Thusly they are not glued to the spars. There is just a nail through the uprights adjacent to the spars holding them in place right now. The wing does not have any compression struts installed, no metal fittings either. It is just two spars with the ribs on, and the additional pieces for the ailerons have been installed. No wingtips. None of the structure for the fuel tank in the wing has been installed either.I would think it would go as such: cut the spars just outboard of each splice. Measure the spar length from the wingtip end of the spar to the inboard end of the panel, and cut the spars to the exact length needed. We could remove the nails and slide the center section rib(s) off the remnants. We would be short on ribs...one full rib, one nose rib, two tail ribs. It would be pretty easy to make a jig off of a full rib that was removed, to fab the those pieces. We would have to build the center section, but our wing panels would be mostly complete. Since the ribs are only nailed they could all be moved to satisfy any spacing changes.This would add some work, but would allow us to deal with much smaller individual wing panels instead of the whole shebang.- This is a big plus. We would also be able to accommodate a fuel tank in the wing if we could do the three piece....Am I off my rocker?Ryan=0A=0A=0A ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Patches

I'll mention this once again... Grant McLaren has to give permission if anyoneis planning to use his graphic artwork (the red/brown logo). He seems to beunwilling to approve the use of any of his work from the past so before anyonegoes too far with that artwork, we need to get approval.I have no way of contacting Grant and will leave that to someone else here onthe list who might be able to get in touch with him.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 07:25:04 -0800 (PST)

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: PatchesAccording to the folks I spoke with at the EAA, Grant did not get written permission to use images from the Flying and Glider Manuals in the Pietenpol video(s) he created. So maybe these patches could include images (there are some really good ones!) from those publications (NOT his publications)...Getting written permission is likely still a good idea, whether it's an image from the Flying and Glider manuals or something Grant or anyone else (regardless of author) has printed or reprinted....sure would be a shame to have to deal with issues such as copyright infringement when you could be making sawdust....And I definitely agree, a LOT of hard work on Grant's part filled the newsletters I still enjoy reading!-----Original Message----->From: "bike.mike" >Sent: Dec 27, 2008 11:02 AM>To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Patches>>>Being a lawyer, I guess I have to respond.>>A copyright, in the US where this discussion is taking place, exists>automatically upon the creation of any work.

I think anything we use should be with permission,license or not at all. I am notan advocate of nor do I believe in stealing someones work. Although the image on the book I purchased from the pietenpol family and the drawingsin my packet bare a striking resemblance to the image in Grants rendition,I wonder where he got it from? If he created the Pietenpol image he mustbe the creator of the aircraft. If not then he used Bernards image from the drawings,I wonder if he got permission or do we need to go to the owners of theprints even though Bernard has since passed away?The legal issues bring interesting questions for debate as to who owns the Pietenpollimage?John Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry-----Original Message-----
