Subject: Pietenpol-List: moving a Piet fuselage--Saran wrap styleWhen I purchased a framed up Piet fuselage in the middle of winter I just wrapped it in Saran wrap secured with a little duct tape. I drove it from Concord, NCto Cleveland Ohio in some snowy weather with road salt and slush all over the place and all arrived nice and dry. (it did act as a weather vane in crosswindsKen-I know that uneasy feeling!)Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 20 May 2013 16:45:39 -0400

Here's a picture of the Pietenpol fuselage we (Dick Navrotil, Skip Gadd, Ben Charvet,myself and others) built this last April at Sun n Fun ready for transportto its new owner in South Carolina. I LOVE duck tape, especially the 200 mphvariety. It was surprisingly stable considering the amount of area ahead ofthe front support and, like the finished aircraft, just a bit draggy.DaveRead this topic online here:

I was at Jake's aircraft factory last weekend (he put me to work cleaning it upfor the photos to go along with the article!), and it is amazing how much hegets done in two single car garages! He has taken the concept of organizing yourworkspace to a whole new level. Nicely done.He shows that you can build in smaller spaces than you think.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GARead this topic online here:

It is a sad event to be sure. I am glad to hear that you and our Piet friends seemto have missed the vast part of the destruction.Still in our prayers all those that were effected. Very sad.Read this topic online here:
