Subject: Pietenpol-List: gussets and wedgies---can we talk about latex paint maybe?Remember when kids used to give other kids wedgies in school ? I wonder if theystill do that ? I digress. Hey, can we drop the wedges and gusset topic because I'm about to puke my livingguts out. Let's get onto somethingslightly less nauseating like using house paint or something okay ? Sorry-- I had too much coffee after dinner tonight and am going thru male menopauseso don't look at me crossways orsideways or you may get a rolling pin (oh that's right....most women don't evenown one of those anymore do they ?) orfrying pan your way. Mike Perez-- you can omit that Model A Ford engine tray area and not compromiseanything in your Piet since I know youare leaning toward using a Continental. You retain the big slabs of plywood bythe upper motor mounts, you retain thewhite ash-doweled-in crossmember up front that goes side-to-side left to righton the fuselage front right at the firewalland you retain that "shelf" in front of the front instrument panel. If you'll recall my sketches of the fuel tank setup in the nose I beefed up thatlittle side-to-side tray that goes acrossthe top of the fuselage just in front of the front instrument panel to supportthe weight of my fuel tank straps and 17 gallonsof fuel. Wish I was at work-- I'd attach the sketch. Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________________
