I should have shirts available online in the next few days. I will be adding this and a couple other ideas. I will probably also update some of last year's stuff as well.

Shad, there is a red and cream Piet at new Carlisle, has an O-200 with lights and everything, I forget the gentlemens name though, I'll privy see him next time I'm out there, I'll try and find out.Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 1, 2010, at 8:08 PM, shad bell wrote:> Who is planning on going to lee bottom? I was planning on flying down friday mid-day, and returning sat 3pm or so. If anyone was flying down from ohio, I was going to see if they want to fly down togeather. Mike C., When were you planning on going down? We could leave from here or I can meet up with you at your 1st fuel stop if you want a wingman. Same for Don, Frank or anyone else who wants to fly down. By the way, does anyone on here know about a red and cream collered piet in south western ohio (urbana area). I have a friend at work who is based at Urbana and has seen a piet in there 2-3 times in the past month or so. I am not aware of another piet down there. Might be out of New Carlisle Ohio out of Barnhart Memorial?> > Shad> > p.s. Joseph Isaac Bell "Little Joe", is laying here in the crib beside me, dreaming of flying the piet some day.

I am wondering about the pros and cons of Stits or Ceconite.It looks like Stits is lighter and not nearly as toxic to work with.Do they have the same lifespans?The last planes I covered were with linen,buterate and nitrate.Also has anyone made the cabane struts with 3/4 tubing encased with wood in a streamline fashion?________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Stits vs. Ceconite

Regarding the cabane struts, my project has the 3/4 tubing encased in cedar fairingsfor streamlining. I think it gives a more nostalgic look.--------Adrian MWinnipeg, MBCanadaRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc0 ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Stits vs. Ceconite

What Stitts process are you referring to? I can tell you the regular Stitts thatuses MEK as an ingredient and solvent is wicked to work around. I think theymay have bought out a water based product now and offering it under their brand.I sure would go water based if I ever do anything else with fabric.

His name is Stephen Emo. He has a hangar at New Carlisle. I believe his dad built it, passed away recently and he flies it about every night and twice on the weekends. Every time he comes back smiling. Tim WhiteOH30 & FA38 ----- Original Message -----

Before the whole List gets filled with everyone placing their T-Shirt orders, thoughtit might be a good time to mention that John usually just makes the T-Shirtsavailable through Caf Press, rather than taking orders. (At least that'show his other great designs have been offered). So, it's probably best to justwait till John says the design is available, and then place your orders throughthe website. (Unless things are different for this design).Of course, seeing all these requests for shirts is probably a good motivator forJohn to get it done sooner.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Lee Bottom Fly-In

I'm planning to go to Lee Bottom too, and would like to commune with other Piet builders. I have just finished covering and painting my one-piece wing this summer in Columbus, IN, just north of Lee Bottom. Look forward to seeing some Pietenpols.
