I joined the Pietenpol list just a month before Steve passed it to Matt. Ifind a single e-mail source valuable to the building experience and willstay here for the clean and efficient way it is run. Like most builders, anattachment can be valuable but it can be a real hassle too, if you happen toget a virus along with it. I experienced it first hand a few weeks backand, believe me, it wasn't fun.The aircamper.org or one's personal site is a perfect place to go take alook at a photo or drawing. I visit it often anyway. Looking forward tousing these resources during my building process.Thanks to all for your contributions. At some point, I will be able to passalong a hint or two to someone else.MichaelReviewing plans and getting ready to build wing ribsPortland, OR________________________________________________________________________________

I think you are on the right track for the 3 piece wing, however, isn't there additional plywood (mabye an inch or two wide) on the top and bottom surfaces, at those locations?Chuck G. ________________________________________________________________________________
