I'm moving to SW Mn in the Spring and plan starting Piet project soon thereafter. Are there any Pietenpols under construction or flying near St James,Mn. Ellery Voge________________________________________________________________________________

Hey BuddiesWhen you mounted your wingtips did you have a bolt on each side of each spar oronly one per spar? I'm having a problem with the curve of the tipmatching up with the two flanges. While one bolt goes through approximately themid-point of the bow, the adjoining bolt only has about 1/8" of material to grab!!The only solution I can see is to make up a couple of new fittings withan offset to catch the approximate center of the bows. Your thoughts, please.Still need to make up my aileron horns, pulley brackets, and water fittings forthe engine block. That should do it for the welding and metal work!! Yippee!!Keep in touch.f"http://explorer.msn.com">http://explorer.msn.com________________________________________________________________________________
