Steve, it wasn't so much that the cabins faced the land. It was more important that they faced away from the sun and were therefore more comfortable. (No AC in those days.)________________________________________________________________________________

Hi. I am assembling an air camper at the Ira G. Ross Aerospace museum. much ofthe work was completed by a gentleman who passed away several years ago. It isof the three piece wing design. From your description I assume yours is also.I have the front and rear spars of the left hand wing attached to the centersection. While laying out the positions of the ribs, I found an interference of3/8" between the flying strut attachment on the spars and Rib #8. The interferenceoccurs where the attachment crosses over the top of the spar. I'm wonderingif you found the same thing on your wing and what you did about it.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wing construction OT

> Word History: "Oh yes, Mater, we had a posh time of it down there." So in Punchfor September 25, 1918, do we find the first recorded instance posh, meaning"smart and fashionable." A popular theory holds that it is derived from theinitials of "Port Out, Starboard Home," the cooler, and thus more expensive, sideof ships traveling between England and India in the mid-19th century. Theacronym POSH was supposedly stamped on the tickets of first-class passengers travelingon that side of ships owned by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam NavigationCompany. No known evidence supports this theory, however. Another wordposh was 19th- and early 20th-century British slang for "money," specifically"a halfpenny, cash of small value." This word is borrowed from the Romany wordph, "half," which was used in combinations such as phera, "halfpenny." Posh,also meaning "a dandy," is recorded in two dictionaries of slang, published in1890 and 1902, although this particular posh may be still another word. Thisword or these words are, however, much more likely to be the source of posh than"Port Out, Starboard Home," although the latter source certainly has caughtthe public's etymological fancy.>From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/poshAlso seehttp://tafkac.org/language/etymology/posh_etymology_of.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Out,_Starboard_Home--------Bill FrankRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Thoughts on a lazy Sunday afternooon
