Jim,I sure enjoyed seeing the progress on your plane, the covering really looks great.That will be my next job this winter, looking forward to it. Keep building,the winter is meant for building airplanes, especially when you don't have toeven go outside to do it.Ray Krause Sent from my iPad> On Dec 1, 2014, at 3:55 AM, Jim Markle wrote:> > > I have that article and would be glad to make copies if anyone wants them.

Yes, it is no fun. Building is fun. Parting with what you built with love and careis no fun
But, it helps to know others have "been there, done that!"Thanks!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: "The Eagle has wings...!"

Mark,Keep me in mind if you don't get a response. I'm building a Sky Scout with an A-65.The wing is the same, as well as the tail structures. I might be able touse your fuselage to convert to an Air Camper configuration in the future.

thx.... I have not yet finished the leading edge of the center section - whichwill just be "normal secondary structure" not a fuel tank in the leading edgearea. I will have a center section tank - without a header tank - which is whyI made my center section wider than plans. I might have a small storage areaBEHIND the rear spar of the center section...?!??I don't have too many weight numbers yet. I was going to do some W&B measurementsafter we did the strut work this past weekend - but it was 35 degrees so Ithought that could wait. (Didn't want to "push it" with my help on a chilly day!)See a related post for project the "next steps"...
