Working on my wing. Just finished putting on the leading and trailing edges and the wing tips, so I put it all together to see how it looks. Exciting stuff!! It looks so much like a piece of art, I decided to turn it into art. Well, to be honest, whoever said it wasn't art already??

Gardiner, Bruce and Frank, My heart goes out to each of you. Gardiner's Piet is the only one I have seenin person. I drooled all over it in late 2009 before it was flown. You guys don'tthink for a minute you have not been in my prayers. I have just been so distraughtover your loss I just couldn't post anything until now. Hang in thereguys. Time is the only thing that can heal your wounds. I lost an airplane in1973. I have been in your shoes...just been a long time. My wounds are healedbut the airplane is not forgotten! We have a good group here and continue to hang out here. It will be good therapyfor y'all and US!--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009wing, tailfeathers done, fuselage rollingusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Piet as Art

I am going to be in MSP on business later this week. I am trying to put on my scroungerhat while I am there. I know that Minnesota is a part of the countrythat has better choices in wood than I do down in Georgia. Does anyone know ofa wood supplier in that area? My thought is I could purchase the wood I want,and ship it home cheaper than I can ordering it. I get a good shipping rate viamy employer. Any thoughts? Your help is greatly appreciated.--------Semper Fi,TerryRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2011 13:13:05 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet as Art

Terry,I suppose I could be wrong--maybe some of my wood has shipped from the West, butmy last shipment was delayed a good 10 days because of the storm we had in Februarythat seemed to shut down everything from the southeast.As for contacts, I'd bet all three are lurking this site and will be able to provide.I don't have Ken Heide's number off hand, but if you go back a page ortwo to a post I had about a Minnesota Corvair engine, Ken listed his number asone of the replies.Hope your trip to Minnesota is a good one.

Terry I bought all my wood from the Atlanta (Peachtree City) store. I picked itup in my truck and saw their stock and wood mill shop. They had quite a stockof wood,plywood and tubing. The have a semi park at the dock of the warehouseand I asked what they were going to put in it. They said that it was full ofpacking peanuts and that they used a load every couple of days! My wood was notcheap but outstanding quality.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009wing, tailfeathers done, fuselage rollingusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Looking for a wood supplier in Minneapolis

Jerry,Thanks for the heads up! I guess I just assumed the wood came out of Aircraft SpruceWest. I live about an hour and a half from Peachtree City. I still am going to look inMinneapolis, but, if I have to I will drive down and get what I need. I stillwant to try and find it in a less expensive way.--------Semper Fi,TerryRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Piet as Art

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Douwe's article in the most recent edition of the BPAand William Wynnye and Ryan Mueller's Weight and Balance article seriesI REALLY want to send a BIG congratulations out for such a WELL written article by Douwe B. in the last edition of the BPAnewsletter. Just outstanding Douwe....thank you very much for your words of wisdom and I admire your motivation in rebuildingand not only that but rebuilding her better than she was ever or would have been before.And for all of you who are going to be doing weight and balance calculations and figuring out where to position your wing and motor,the THREE article series by WW and Ryan Mueller are MUST READS and many thank-you's should go out to them for taking time outof their VACATION TIME to do all of those weight and balances on various Pietenpols and documenting the fuselage lengths, weights,wing setbacks, etc. for all who are building or will be building and having to do W&B Calculations.Also a big thank you to Doc and Dee Mosher who volunteer countless hours putting together those newsletters, getting them to theprinter, and then sending them out to us. We all owe them a great debt of gratitude because that's not a paid job by any means andI doubt if our BPA dues barely cover the costs involved.

Raleigh to Brodhead takes about 16 hours driving, but only about 15 hours byPietenpol. I actually did it in one day a few years ago, leaving Raleigh(Apex) just before dawn and landing at Brodhead about 15 minutes aftersundown. Never again!

I'm not sure Jack, wish I knew. My best guess is that it was some kind of pumping unit. The brown mess up front was an engine and there was a driveshaft going towards the back. The structural timbers were huge. The steel was so corroded from the salts that it was soft...rusted all the way through, even pieces still near 1" thick were just a mass of soft rust. Almost gone entirely. It was really interesting...wish I knew what it was. Somebody paid a lot of money and did a lot of work to get it out there...now it is almost gone. From the construction (steel engine, large timbers, etc.) I'd guess it was made between 1910 and 1940.Clyde Cessna did his early flights on those salt flats. The local bankers didn't want to back him so he went to Wichita instead, undoubtedly changing what might have been.I saw multiple old, old bottles...including a brown glass clorox bleach bottle. How long has it been since clorox came in brown glass bottles?Steve RuseNorman, OK--------------------------------------------------
