Folks=3BI've had a most delightful email exchange with British Pieter Gerry Holland over the last couple of months. It started out with the beautiful cooling eyebrows on his A75 since the eyebrows on Scout are presently sporting one unresolved fatigue crack on a mounting tab and another stop-drilled fatigue crack on the other side. Gerry pointed me to the source for his authentic and sturdy eyebrows and I have a set ordered and on their way=2C which should put an end to my cracks for good.In the process of sorting out the eyebrows=2C Gerry mentioned how he'd like to see a nice set of oval brass plates riveted to the (polished aluminum) eyebrows on his airplane. This led me to researching what it would take to make small oval "Air Camper" brass plates for mounting here or there on our Piets. I've worked out all of the details and artwork with Denny Demeter at AvGrafix and he is currently producing them for me. As soon as I get a sample=2C I'll post photos and pricing and see if anyone is interested in buying them=2C especially since I've ordered a production run of them =3Bo) They are not data plates... they are simply oval brass accent plates that identify the aircraft as an Air Camper. Gerry gets the first one of them=2C and he'll get the second one of the pair when he brings me a pint of his favorite stout or ale when I'm in the UK =3Bo)I still have the larger brass data plates available and since I was getting down to my last dozen of them=2C I've ordered a new production run of those as well. It looks like Air Campers will continue to be built for years to come=2C so I'd better have enough on hand to keep them on the market. Same price as always=2C ten bucks=2C and information on the data plates is available at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/dataplate.html . The one that I have installed in the front cockpit of Scout has developed a very nice patina and adds a nice touch to the airplane. I'm undecided whether to install a pair of the new=2C smaller oval Air Camper plates to each of the new cooling eyebrows on my airplane=2C but I might.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerMedford=2C Oregon ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 04:38:03 -0700 (PDT)
