-Steel Tube Fuselage-Built to plans, with the exception of adding a door to the front cockpit.-Split Gear, with spoked wheels most likelyFull disclosure - I did not weld the fuselage. I purchased it already built.I think the interest in the steel tube fuselage is great, and I hope to see severalat Brodhead in the next few years.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Friday's mystery Piet
