Brodhead Pietenpol Association

a few weeks back I was contacted by a Technical Writer from the Associated Press.He was writing a story on Emachineshop.com. Somehow he managed to come acrossmy name and contacted me. He interviewed me in several emails.The article was published yesterday. He stopped short of mentioning "Pietenpol"but did say that they made parts for my 1929 era airplane. Neat story.... and great place to get lasercut and/or CNC'd partshttp://news.yahoo.com/news?tmplstory&u/ap/20040818/ap_on_hi_te/online_manufacturing_6DJ_________________________________________________________________________________

Wasn't there an issue of material that they used? Did they have carbon steel coldrolled or 4130 normmalized?Chris ----- Original Message -----

the CAD program they developed has a selection of many materials. 4130N was noton the default list, 4140N was... but in the notes section you can request anymaterial you want.Seeing as how my parts were not to be welded I opted for the 4140.DJ ----- Original Message -----
