Subject: Pietenpol-List: Regrets?Hi All,I have a few regrets as to the way I did things on my Piet, one of them being that I wish I would have stained all the cockpit wood before varnishing.I used birtch plywood so the color is very blond. The guy who built the red and black Sky Scout at Brodhead (can't remember his name) stained his whole airframe to make it look "antique". I think it was Minwax Puritan Pine color. Very cool looking. Also I wish I would have made my glove box larger a la Mike Cuy. Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL________________________________________________________________________________
