I love it!

This has been in the works for about a year in total. After I got this idea one night in a dream, I thought I surely had seen it before somewhere, and was just recalling it from what I had seen. So I Googled it and came up with nothing, so concluded that I had dreamt this up myself. I wanted a true period font, so I actually bought a used book of the 1929-era fonts from Amazon that was published in about 1930. You would have thought that I could find something in there that I liked, but no. So I did some searches of early air mail planes and found a photo from the Chicago Tribune photo archives from that era, of an air mail plane with some lettering on it. This was precisely what I was looking for. So at that point I hand-drew all the needed letters of the correct sizes, and cut them out with scissors. Then I laid those letters out on a piece of velum paper, and traced around them onto the velum. Then I took my trusty pounce wheel (as suggested on this list by Glenn Thomas, CT.) and "pounced" out all the letters and circle onto the velum. Then I taped the velum sheet onto my plane, and used a silver "magic marker" to transfer the logo onto the side of my fuze. I used "One Shot" brand paint to hand-paint onto the fuze. Now I will add some bird wings onto either side with yellow.> > Dan Helsper> Poplar Grove, IL.> > > ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Build Log Survey

I did a quick search in the forum and didn't see anything on this topic (at leastrecently), and I will quickly need to decide what I do for myself shortly,so I thought I would pose this question to all the experts out there:What method do you use to keep track of your build log? Is it a software or webbased solution? Old fashioned 3 ring binder? How much did your solution costyou? Also, if your build log is accessible via the web, would you be willing to includea link in your response?Thanks again for your insight!Gary WilsonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Two things for me- Pen and paper "diary" on a clipboardand my own website for pics, again in chronologicalorder.http://www.clifdawson.ca/Site cost me $9.50/mo. and there's a lot more thanthe Piet on it so it's not so I'm not sure how to relatethe Piet's portion. It would probably be the same if itwas only the Piet on it.Clif> What method do you use to keep track of your build log? Is it a software > or web based solution? Old fashioned 3 ring binder?

I'm really excited now. Spent last week at my grandpa's (Captain) hangar and startedbuilding the fuselage. OK, it's just the mock-up fuselage, but we arebuilding it to specifications with the correct size longerons and braces. Thatway I'll get more practice fitting the joints and discovering any problems beforewe do the real thing. Here are a couple of pictures.--------TuckerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_ ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Build Log Survey
