I visited the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum (WAAAM) yesterdayand thought I'd share the Pietenpol they have on display next to a row of earlyFord cars. If you ever get to Hood River Oregon, you don't want to miss thisone.......... 100,000 square feet of hangar almost 80 vintage planes (whichALL fly) and as many vintage cars. One of the best collections of Golden Eraflying aeroplane in the world - no exaggeration...!I' beeen before and yesterday their director of restoration took me around andthrough their shop - WOW! (Current project is the prototype Stearman (yes theVERY first one) They also have Curtis Jenny serial number one - yes it flies..........!)THANK-YOU Tom......--------Jake Schultz - curator,Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/imag ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: WAAAM

I took the liberty of resizing the photo as it was much bigger than my screen.I hope other folks enjoy the great photo in a little bit easier to see size.--------Semper Fi,TerryRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/imag ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: WAAAM

Or you could do it like this (below)... but it is pointless to try Terry. WhenI first came on the boards (or e-mail list as some oooold timers insist on callingit... yes, I know, I can read the top of the page too... It clearly states"Email List"), I offered a couple of suggestions on how to better display imagesand such. You would have thought I had suggested making a modificationthat wasn't specifically spelled out in the plans... another huge no-no. [RollingEyes]So, I may as well share with you what many consider to be rule #1 around here...Don't disconcert the masses. Some of these guys are VERY sensitive about their ancient way of doing things.Kind of like the way that this text runs waaaay out to the right because manyinsist on using the "Attach" feature rather than inserting a simple line of code.I guess it has something to do with the way the emailers want it done. I know that I'm in deep "you know what" just for writing this, but it is coldand rainy here today, so I have nothing better to do.

Mark,Not to 'muck up' the "email list" here, how about emailing me separately and 'splainto me the code to keep everything to the left. That way I can read my ownmessages correctly.And I will add your 'rule' to my list of rules for this forum. Just a new guy figurin'out how to fit in!jarheadpilot82/at/hotmail/dot/com--------Semper Fi,TerryRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: WAAAM

Yeah, it shows up fine in my mail too, but the sequence is all f'd up and for thosethat choose to web it, the formatting kind of sucks... otherwise it's goodstuff. I know, I know, it's a great resource and I should just leave it alone... and Iwill. Just trying to spare Terry from the wrath of John Recine and others comingalong and asking, "what does photo sizing have to do with building a Piet."Kids?

Hey Terry, I'm just funnin around more than anything. Don't take anything heretoo seriously. :D I will start another post where we can all rag on each other over the pros andcons of email vs. web. I'm afraid I've jacked Tom's thread on WAAAM, which lookspretty cool by the way.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: WAAAM

Yeah., sorry.... I published this post (and this reply) from my fancy new Droidand I have not yet figured out how to resize images on this thing.......... I had been doing all the posts from a PC. Now back to installing the master bathroom floor so I can then get back to thePiet. The remodel has set that on hold for a couple weeks. I'll spare you alloversize images of that (ha!)--------Jake Schultz - curator,Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: WAAAM

* * * * * NOT PIET RELATED * * * * *Terry and others... as for the code used to provide cleaner formatting for Webreaders... there are a few simple Bulletin Board codes (or BBCodes) that you mightfind handy. Hows that for old Ryan? Been hitting the BBS since the early80s using my tricked out Tandy-1000 and my 300 baud modem. LOL!By simply starting and ending strings with certain commands, called tags, you canpresent items in line with text rather than those big space hogging frames.However, none of them will correct poor formatting (i.e. huge images or incorrectpaths). For example, if you wanted to insert an image you would type...[img]insert path here[/img] Rather that the text "insert path here', you would insert an actual path... such as http://www.eaa.org/homebuilders/images/ ... -1.jpgLike this!The path should reference an image that is available on the web... if the fileis stored locally you will need to upload it to flicker, photo bucket or someother web based storage and reference that path, or just use the attach featureif you don't mind one of those big frames. Sound difficult? It's not. There are others, like [url], which will let you insert a web path, but it's notgenerally necessary... just type a web path and it will be recognized and ahyper link created. The one I've found most useful is [IMG], but there are others here that you can review here http://www.bbcode.org/reference.php. Not all BB tags work in all forums. Such as the [youtube] or [gvideo] tags... I don't believe that they work here.Hope this helps a little.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: WAAAM
