BPA - Buckeye Pietenpol Association. Doc Mosher probably has copies of their newsletters which he'd probably be willingto reproduce for a nominal fee.Dan-- Dan Yocumyocum137(at)gmail.com"I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things."On Feb 17, 2012, at 2:37 AM, "Piet2015" wrote:> > What was the name of the Pietenpol club that existed prior to the formation ofthe Brodhead Pietenpol Association?

Uhhh, maybe not.This matter has been discussed in the past.The previous BPA newsletters (Buckeye Pietenpol Association) were compiled andpublished by Grant McLaren, who holds the copyright to them. Grant has made itclear that he does not grant permission to copy and/or redistribute the old newsletters,as is his legal right.Don't bother asking Doc to make copies.The only option would be to find someone that has a collection of the old newslettersthat wanted to part with them permanently.End of story.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: The previous Pietenpol club

As I said, this issue has been discussed before.Questions were asked, and very clear answers were given directly from the holderof the copyright.If Grant ever chooses to republish them, I'm sure we'll hear about it.But for now, the case is closed. Let it rest.Nuff said.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Jeff,I have great news! Today I brought down the wing that had the warp in thespar, in prep for cover. This trailing edge had warped about =BE=94!! In review,before varnish, I supported the wing on the ends, then started sprayingwater on the spar. Kiln dried lumber soaks up water quickly! I estimate thatI used about 1 gallon of water, allowing the =91coats=92 to soak in each time.Then, from the strut attach bracket, I suspended about 50 lbs of weight. Inmy case, that was enough to bring it to straight. After drying for a fewdays, I removed the weight. The spar remained straight, so I varnished it.It hung for about 2 months in the ceiling, during which time I had littlehope that it would stay fixed. Imagine my relief today!! Best of luck toyou, too=85Gary BootheNX308MB-----Original Message-----

Terry,Maybe the tone of my writing was misleading. No offense was taken.I too would love to be able to access those old issues of the BPA newsletters,but unfortunately we can't.For a little back story, see this thread from 4 years ago:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ht=bpaBill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Michael Perez nailed it.This list, along with www.westcoastpiet and on line build logs, has reduced the value of the old newsletters.Greg CardinalMinneapolis ----- Original Message -----
