RyanI don't know about the 612, but I will be bringing along a NACA 4412 rib jig and I have a overlay for the regular Piet rib. The 4412 is used on the Champ and also has been used on the Piet. It, like the 612 has better stall habits and is a bit faster thean the Piet airfoil. I will have cap strips there and if you want, you can build a rib or 2.Dick N.----- Original Message -----

I will be working in the Wood Workshop. It is up near the main entry. For anyne else who wants to stop by and help out we will be assemblying a Volmer VJ 22 fuselage this year. If anyone wants some fast progress on a Piet project next near, let us know. We can fit in another project for the future. The wood workshop is kind of Pietenpol central at the show.Dick N.----- Original Message -----
