Subject: Pietenpol-List: saying goodbye to my uncle - off topicTomorrow I attend the funeral of the man who introduced me to aviation. When Iwas a kid I was at a family reunion in Osceola, WI and my uncle Ed offered totake me for a ride in his airplane. I was about 13-14 years old and had friendof mine with me. We both went in his rented Cherokee 140 along with my otheruncle Bob. I had never flown before and I remember seeing a twin engine flylow over the field and how amazed I was. My uncle gave me that first flightyears ago and I never forgot. Just a few years ago, I returned the favor. Iflew out to Osceola and gave him probably his last ride. At the time I was renting- what else - a Cherokee 140. He died this weekend and I can't stop thinkingabout how he gave me my first flight. I hope we can all be so generouswith family and friends. I enjoyed watching Greg Cardinal give children ridesat Brodhead. This is where flying needs to return to. Anyway, I'll miss uncleEd. We didn't have much in common except for flying, but that's all we needed.I wish someday he could have seen my Pietenpol flying, but it gives memotivation so that others in the family can see it someday.Tom B.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 22:38:57 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: go/ no go tool--- a must when using Nicopress tools

Big Steve,Why are you looking at Nieuport plans to build a Pietenpol?And, more importantly, why are you surprised that the empennage looks "quite different"?To the best of my knowledge, there are no published plans for the Pietenpol empennagebuilt of steel tubing (or any other kind of tubing, for that matter). I'dsay you're on your own there. Which is not to say that people have not builttheir empennage out of steel tube, because they have. I'm just saying that theyall did it without the use of published plans.Good luck with your Nieuportenpol!Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/nieu ... ______Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 22:09:48 -0400Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: go/ no go tool--- a must when using Nicopress tools
