Newsletters and trim? That's an odd combination.....First the newsletters:There have been several really good suggestions for getting the newslettersscanned/converted/copied to CD, etc. And thanks! I definitely agree thathaving the info available on CD would just be fantastic. I did try theprocess a while back and scanned a few random pages. Those are available onmykitplane.com. That's really the best way I think. Having them availableon CD is a great idea!Since I'm in the enterprise software business, I have no shortage of HW orsoftware for scanning/converting.....I just need the time to do it (or themoney to pay to have it done).And being in the Pietenpol building business, I have no shortage oftasks/expenses for completing my project......I just put a VERY high valueon the time I get to do it......So scanning/converting "ain't gonna happen" in Plano...... :-)But I'll gladly make a set available to whoever would like to take on thetask (and share a copy of the resulting CD!).Keep in mind that even with a couple of missing issues (I found 3 missingissues, there may be 1 or 2 more missing), there are AT LEAST 300 DOUBLESIDED pages containing issues #1 from July 1983 through issue #63"2ndQuarter 1999".So let me know who's willing to "step up" and I'll get the copies on the wayto you.....Now the trim:I've attached a picture of how one builder (Dennis Hall, I think) did thetrim. I know this has been discussed at length but I thought our groupmight find a picture of interest....as I recall, Dennis mentioned that whenhe painted (or powdercoated) the tube, the "trim" didn't stay in place quiteas well...it kept sliding back down....just a friction fit....something tokeep in mind.Jim in Plano.....________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2004 10:00:17 -0400

Wow, that would be great John!If you can do that, I'll be glad to copy them to CD and distribute them.Checking a little more carefully, looks like I'm only missing issues 34 &38.I also have originals of issues 50-54 & 57 available (thanks to Max Davis).The copies I got from Mike Bell a couple years ago were 3rd or 4thgeneration....certainly usable but minimal quality.If you'll send me your address (offline, please) I'll send you a good set ofcopies of the above issues to include in the conversion.Not sure if your set is like mine or closer to original quality, but usingoriginals (or close to originals) would sure be the way to go!Thanks!JM----- Original Message -----

JMSadly I don't have 34 or 38, I do have original 50,52,53 and 57. illscan them. What if each person on the list converted a few to PDF fromoriginals and emailed them to someone that can compile them. ( thisperson does not have to convert) this will spread the cost in time andmoney around. And not everyone has every issue. I will start with issues 50, 52, 53, 56, and 57. Any takers?John C. -----Original Message-----

I am ready to scan them and then will return them on the CD in whatever you want(jpg, djvu e.t.c.) I am sure in djvu format there will not be a big size file,just a couple of megs. Just send me the copy of the entire newsletters.BR,Alex Birca,Moldova-----Original Message-----

I just received the PDF's for Issues 1-6 of the BPA Newsletter!!!! Way togo Dave!!This is great. If we all get together and those that have good scannersavailable put them to use for a few issues, we'll have them all done in NOtime!!!Please don't scan any without sending a note to the list (well, better yet,send me a note offline) so we can avoid any double efforts (I HATE that!!).If anyone can scan in doc format, I do have Adobe and can convert. I thinkit also converts from jpg and gifs and other graphics formats. WhateverAdobe will convert, I have recent versions for.... It's the scanning that Ican't provide. But I will gladly compile and distribute!!Those of you that haven't seen all the issues are in for a real treat......Jim in Plano----- Original Message -----

This is intended to be read by MR. Grant Mc.In the year 2000 I began building a Pietenpol and heard about your "CREATIONS" as you call them. I sent you my check for $10 and about this time youfaded away with mine and I understand several other people's $10. I've waited for your reappearance to ask for my ten bucks and will not let it rest until I receive it. Please remit to:Claude M Corbett625 Pierremont RdShreveport, La 71106Corky________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2004 14:02:06 -0400

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: how cheap can you get ?Mike,I can probably live without that $10, who knows, but a crook is a crook and stealing is stealing no matter what contributions were made in the past of which I received 0. I would be the last one to sectionalize this thing I,m sureyou all know but to be beat out of some cash by a rebel is one thing but gettingit put to you by a cheatinYankee is more than I want to absorb.YKW in La.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2004 14:56:36 -0400
