Subject: Pietenpol-List: Aghh, so close... and thanksThank you to all!! Clif, my 12/1 slope will be done in the 3/4 thickness of spar(I will splice it in the modern way, not like Bernard did). That will costme about 3" to 4" on each spar, just the triangle between the last rib and wingtip. It coul be less (about 2,5") if I go for a 10/1 slope. I will put gussetsin the joint anyway. Wing tip, as I understand, are also compression members,could that be a problem? Thanks again.Santiago---------------------------------Cmo uss el correo electrnico?Qu penss del spam y de los virus?Clic aqu________________________________________________________________________________

Friends,It all started in 1974. While attending the first Sun-N-Fun fly-In I wasovewhelmed with love and care by all who heard me utter the magic words, "Iam going to build an airplane." I had never before experianced such openarm care. Again it was repeated in 1975 at the 2nd Sun-N-Fun. All duringmy 10 year mission to complete the RV-3 whenever I needed assistance it wasthere just for the asking.This, along with all the written words of Tony Bingelis, was my startingpoint to do what I could to repay. I owed so much to so many. I once asked"How do you repay someone for being nice to you? The answer I got was, "Youjust pass it along." That is what has been my creed and it is so obvious itis yours as well.Thanks to Doc and Mike and all for the kind words. Hope to see one and allat Oshkosh,.Alex Sloan----- Original Message -----
