Subject: Pietenpol-List: TACO logo proposalHowdy Piet folks..It seem that the TACO wagon is rollin...not only across TEXAS..but across the nation as well. This is great! TEXAS is way over due for an organized group of Pietenpol builders. And as evidenced by the good turn-out and great timeat Tick Hill last week, the time is certainly ripe. Up to now...I haven't said too much about all of the enthusiastic emails from Sterling on the formation of this TACO group. I have to admit that I wasn't too keen on the nameat first....especially after the look Leann gave me when I told her that she may be named a TACO "Belle". I was also somewhat stymied by the mention of alcoholas a means of indoctrination. In my way of thinking, flying and alcohol don't mix. I'm not against anyone having a relaxing beverage as long as it isn'tmixed with flying (or driving for that matter.) So needless to say... It has taken me some time to warm up to the name and the indictment terrms of the TACO organization.Now....Before everyone starts thinking I am bashing Sterling....hold on. I aplaud you Sterling for rallying the troops and stirring the interest. As I said... its about time for a Texas Piet group. I have to say....EVERYONE I havemet so far in this Pietenpol group has been super. It is amazing to me how this little beloved airplane design seems to attract a broad cross-section of interesting and down-to earth builders and enthusiasts. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this email discussion list and look forward to meetingeach and everyone on it. We also are looking forward to hosting the 2nd annualTick Hill gathering next year....perhaps in a cooler month... and not so closeto Broadhead, so maybe more folks can attend.So anyway... I am here to say....WAY to GO Sterling!. Count me in. I have prepared something to contribute. It is some artwork that I would like to propose as the TACO logo. Click on the link below to see it. If anyone else hasa logo they'd like to propose...just send it to me and I will post it and we'll take a poll for votes of everyone's favorite. Once everyone has settledon the "official" design, I plan to have some shirts screened for my family and anyone else who wants one. Leann is planning to digitize this for embroidery on hats too. So lets keep the TACO wagon rolling....get those Piets flying... and lets get together for some good times!TerryClick here....http://www.mykitplane.com/Planes/photoG ... __________

I agree, Terry. Regarding the logo, I've already got a spot (I knew someone wouldcome up with a good logo, thanks!) located on the upper part of my Piet'svertical stab for a sticker. I remember seeing a bunch of "old" stickers from"fly-in's past" on Allan Wise' 3000+ hour Air Camper and being a bit jealous.....nowI'll have my own "identity".....and what a crowd to get to identify with!This is going to be fun....Jim in Plano......just epoxied a couple Ash pieces for the reat seat belt connectpoints, finished the rear seat framing and put the first coat of varnish onthe 1/4" mahogany ply seat..... ----- Original Message -----

Looks good to me, Terry. My only comment is I don't remember from my daysof flying my Cub in Texas ever seeing a windsock that limp. Generally itwas straight as an arrow, pointing north (unless a "Blue Norther" had blownin, in which case it was straight as an arrow pointing south).Jack "Tex" PhillipsRaleigh, NCDoing the final assembly of NX899JP - got the centersection on last night-----Original Message-----
