Interesting door and hinge ideas, Chuck...very nice work! You could fit a 10gallon hat in that hat box, for when you fly down to see Kevin! I'm perplexed by your controls, though...maybe it's just a weird view...Gary BootheNX308MB-----Original Message-----

Beautiful work as usual, Chuck. One of the best things I ever did was takeyou up on the most perfect morning for flying I've ever seen (glassy smoothair, calm winds and 100 mile visibility) and getting you bitten by thePietenpol Bug. Not that I can take credit for your interest - you were already interestedin building a Pietenpol before that morning, but I like to think thatsomehow I gave you the nudge to get started building.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Thanks Jack. You hit it on the head. The interest was there, but there is no wayI would have jumped in without that ride. You along with a number of otherson this list have been true ambassadors of the Pietenpol. We all thank you. Forsome new to the list, I have included a link I found when searching for infoabout the Pietenpol. There are also two old newsletters from our EAA chapterwith good stories from Jack's experiences flying his Piet. These are how I firstdiscovered Jack was living close by. I gave him a call out of the blue andhe graciously invited to take a ride.Good reading.

Paul,Just for the record, the motor mount doesn't hold the front end of the plane together.The front end of the fuselage is held very solidly by all of the gluedwood surfaces, including the firewall, which acts as a huge gusset.Bill C.Paul wrote: > Thanks Chuck.

Beautiful work but I notice the lack of shoulder harness fittings for the rearcockpit. My personal decision was to give up the space and mount a decent 4 pointharness. That decision was based on the experience of our own Axel Purtee,as well as a LOT of other credible sources. There's an old saying in the nautical community -- "Every ship steers by her owncompass" -- and that certainly applies to personal choices involving thingslike safety and aesthetics so consider your choices carefully. This is not alow risk hobby like stamp collecting. Stepping down off soap box now...DaveRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
