Of course, we're all hoping Greg can come, but I'm glad I'll be able to seetheir lovely plane again. One of my favorites. I'll miss Don as well,though choosing his daughter's wedding over Brodhead does make one questionhis priorities. :-)Sounds like we might see some new ones, which is very exciting, and if allgoes well we should see a LOT of new ones in the next year or two. I'mreally thinking 2013 will be the year for 799B "Re-PIET" will make it.Progress report. Cowling finally finished, came out pretty well. Am nowripping through covering the empennage and fuselage (ever noticed how manyFrench words there are re planes??, they were quite the pioneers early on)am hoping to get Marci in on stitching to help speed things along and giveher a sense of involvement.

I used multiple short hinges on mine rather than a continuous 6' length -unnecessary, and much more difficult in my opinion. I used the stronger(and much more expensive) MS20001 hinges. Again,unnecessary. As yourTechnical Counselor noted many certified aircraft use short pieces of pianohinges. Look at the hinges on a Piper Cherokee, and note that they use thecheaper and weaker AN257 rolled type hinges.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Mine are the MS version, all one piece. But that's when I had money to burn.Dan HelsperPuryear, TN-----Original Message-----
