of course, if you go even faster, the suction will actually make you go backwards . . . Gene ----- Original Message -----

I dought that it could create that much suction. Remember there are many other holes in the wing not creating much suction. Root rib comes to mind. We had them on the Tri-Pacer and the fabric did not even concave at all. and that was at 125mph. And those ribs were not any stronger than the Piets.Doug DeverIn beautiful Stow OhioDate: Tue=2C 24 Nov 2009 07:17:57 -0800

Unless you have absolutely sealed off the wing panel, full ply covered inner end, etc,then there will be more than enough air entering the panel to take up the space ofthe air sucked out. :-)Maybe you should use gronicles instead.Clif"A person learns to skate by staggering about and making afool of himself; indeed, he progresses in all things bymaking a fool of himself." -- George Bernard Shaw, playwright Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: covering question-drain grommets I dought that it could create that much suction.

At what point did this go from being a very strong leg-pulling to being taken seriously?? (except my original post where I suggest that there may be a small incentive to using grommets rather than merely punching holes)Gene ----- Original Message -----

Hi Dan,It is the town of Northfield, MN. A slightly higher resolution photo is attached. It is only a few miles from Stanton where NX18235 is based and is a nice 15 - 20 minute ride for first time passengers.Greg Cardinal----- Original Message -----
