Ernie Hagness,You requested in BPAN plans for the 3 sided square wind screens. I don'thave plans but do have the three sided wind screens. It wouldn't be thathard to give you the details of how they are built. Rather straight forward.Let me know if you still need info.Ted Brousseau/APFnfn00979(at)gator.naples.netSunny SW Florida________________________________________________________________________________

It will have to wait for a tad as I am on myway to Milwaukee for a few weeks to visit my 90 year old mother andspend mothers day eith her. Sorry about all them skeeters. We have nothad any for the past couple of years because of no rain , but we havehad quite a bit of rain recently and I know them buggers will be outsoon. Good excuse to fly and try to outrun them. Thanks again. Ernie/________________________________________________________________________________

Good excuse to fly and try to outrun them.Outrun them!!! Heck I bring them all back with me on the leading edges andthe prop. I have to polish the prop every week between the bloody skeetersand the salt build up.Drop me a line if something doesn't make sense when you put pencil to paper.Ted Brousseau/APFnfn00979(at)gator.naples.netSunny SW Florida________________________________________________________________________________
