You are correct Mike. Grega uses Pietenpols tail feather design, actually lookslike copies of Hoopman's 1934 drawings. Grega filled in the bottom rudder gussetwith spruce and also filled in between the lowest rudder rib capstrips fromthe LE to main beam with spruce and than bolts the rudder horn to this sprucefill-in.Skip----- Original Message -----
