Gentlemen and esteemed members of the Pietenpol community I am not ready for my wind screens yet, however with this a golden opportunity to gain insight into what be a daunting task of design I too would like a copy of any plans, patterns or other design device being circulated that would assist, when the time comes. My plans did not include anything remotely resembling a design for a wind screen. Anyone willing to share their copy I would love to have a one if possible and certainly willing to pay for postage and copy costs associated with that.

If it is something that they used to include with the plans, they must have discontinued doing it (or at least they didn't do it when I ordered my plans four years ago). Or maybe they just like Walt more than me.Thirdly, since I've had my plans for almost four years now, shouldn't I have more to show than a bunch of ribs and a horizontal stab and elevators? I seem to remember thinking that this was going to be a five-to-ten year project, but at this rate who knows how long it will take. Oh well, I'm having a lot of fun with it whenever I do get a chance to work on it.Fourthly, I'm actually looking forward to figuring out a windshield design, and building it, when I get to that stage. For now, I'm just studying various designs and figuring out what I like and don't like.Fifthly, I'm really looking forward to next Saturday in Brussels. Sixthly, =85 I think that's enough for now.
