Hello,]New member to your discussion group here. My first question is... Where wouldyou guys recommends I go for Model A gauges; tach, water temp, oil temp etc. Andwhat kinds have worked for you. I'd love to find some modern mechanical gaugeswith a vintage look, but so many new suppliers are only making electric gauges.Any thoughts? Also, know anyone who wants to make a Piet radiator?Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

I need to do that with mine, too. It's a really good way to scan thru the progress. Lookin' good !! Oh, by the way, there is no dihedral, or washout in the Pietenpol plans, or any of the planes that BHP built. There is no dihedral or washout in the Tailwind, either. Wonder why these two Guru's of aircraft design chose not touse it...maybe it's because bent and twisted wings are for sissy's !!! :)Chuck G.________________________________________________________________________________

Super-Duper Jack! A Sig Kadet would have been my guess too. Never owned one, but have built andflown many others. I guess it's the large wing tip angles that make it seem right...I believe that the Kadet has been around since before I started in thehobby in the 80s. Heck, even your R/C stuff looks great!--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage and Fuse framed up - Working on Landing GearRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Milestone
