Gentlemen,There is progress in the right direction on the left wing panel and center section rebuild of the Mountain Piet.The wing panel spars are cut to size and marked with the rib locations. The "Charlie Rubeck" ribs are ready to assume their post. I have fresh T-88 and good motivation!The center section spars are also cut to length, 36 inches. I decided to go with Mr. Rewey's 3 ft center section and will build a similar semi-circular cutout. After two years of very little progress, I've decided to take an incremental approach with this project. I'm setting very small goals for each week so that something gets done. Who knows, I might just get this thing in the air in '07.Greg BaconPrairie Home, MO________________________________________________________________________________
