Subject: Pietenpol-List: Never AgainWhew, did I ever open a can!!!!!!!!First: I finished routing my spars ,d fir, and am pleased I did it. I must have been tired and impatient when I sent the list about it being unnecessary. The best comment I received was the fact that its a hobby. Hope I don't lose sight of that again. Started with 41 1/2 pounds for the four spars. Now they weigh in a few ounces above 35. Sure it's worth it.Second: I finally set my jury fitting on the spars at 44 1/2. Sorry I had some of you cats going back in the closet for that freshman physics book. We always broke step and cadence in the Infantry when we crossed a flimsy bridge. Never felt the first one ever shake. If someone decides to mount a small turbo on the Piets nose all this harmonic resonation may play a part, until then lets build it slow and low.Third: That message a few minutes ago from Mike C. sure took my nap time away from me as I have one week less to finish this bird before flying to Brodhead 01. See you there. CMC in La.________________________________________________________________________________

The hobby reason is as good as any. I really get a kick out of following thethreads on this list. I have been following it since it started a few yearsback. I have been very busy these last few years and my GN-1/Piet is stillin the one inch thick stage. I need to finish some ground bound projects toget the room to assemble further. Open all the cans you want as long as theyrelate to our hobby.ThanksJohn Mc________________________________________________________________________________
