pietenpol41(at)hotmail.com >I have an idea but am not sure what a "seaplane fitting" is. Couldyou elaborate?They are approx one inch round plastic things (sic) with a smallshielded opening in the center. They can be found in most aircraft partsbook, ie aircraft spruce, etc.They are preferred to punching a hole in the fabric at the trailing edgewith a hot iorn, Someimes this inverts the fabric & impedes the drainageof moisture.Mike B Piet N687MB ( Mr Sam )________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet D-VIII?I have 1/4 scale model plans for a FOKKER D. VII. They are available from Model Airplane News plans Dept. Plans# FSP 02981It is of course a biplane, but does have some remarkable similarities.Other than new tail surfaces, and adding a bottom wing, it looks like it would be possible. The wings are undercambered and fully cantilevered wings with no wired brading, fuselages is flat sided, has long nose, with large engine compartment.BTW, I am currently building a 1/4 scale Pietenpol from plans supplied by the same source. Plan # FSP 1298D. I went to www.rcstore.com and ordered them directly from them.________________________________________________________________________________
