Subject: Pietenpol-List: Naked InspectionPieters both interested and disinterested,In todays mail I received a letter from the Fedman. Due to the lack of funds he will NOT be able to come to Shreveport for the proposed naked inspection and has instructed me to proceed toward completion of the aircraft at which time he will inspect same. Praise the LORD from whom all blessings flow. Just goes to show you that if you will be nice sometimes something good will surely happen. Why only yesterday I wrote AOPA a letter of apology, since I had been on their case pretty strong, after reading their position on the Sport Pilot issue. I'm beginning to realize that I might even be wrong once or twice in my short lifetime.I will begin bringing NX41CC to my home shop from Lucein Airport this afternoon and begin covering the feathers tonight or tomorrow. As I have said, I don't plan to make this covering business a long drawn out process. If things go you just might see Charlie Charlie at Benton in October.Corky in La NOT waiting for the Fedman anymore.________________________________________________________________________________

Corky,Great news! Must be like a big weight is lifted. On to bigger and better.Just remember about the covering process,,,It's the most intimidating, butthe most rewarding of all the processes. When you're covering your firstpiece, and you look at the fabric all baggy and loose. Then you hit it withthe iron at 250 deg. And you're amazed. It's a cool process, no matterwhat kind of final finish you put on , even if it's 8 coats of hand rubbedGumbo.And to think you were going to give this all up.Keep plugging!waltNX140DL----- Original Message -----
