Subject: Pietenpol-List: (no subject)OscarIf you can find some piets with pilots and guts, it's only 44 miles from the Red sea coast to Mecca IF we can BORROW a U S Navy baby carrier from WWII, Lord have Mercy, couldn't we have fun and create some moving diplomacy.I am inviting myself as a bombardier in your front seat. That would bring ALL our troops home, cut the defense budgit by 70%, make those politicos facefacts, eliminate all foreign aid and welfare, but don't touch my SS.Am I a dreamer or what. Be sure the Piets have their wings filled with moth balls for the short flights over that red water, I don't think it will part for a Piet.CMC an old Peeter coming back to life________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Dan,It sounds like that would work. It also sounds like you bettta be beeerrrrry careful when you drill those holes so they don't get too deep. If it were me, I would do as our good amigo from south of the border, Santiago from Argentina did. He made templates from cardboard of the airfoils at each station, and split them at the leading edge and trailing edge lines. Then, when you started getting close (with the chainsaw) you could keep trying the templates at each blade station. Shouldn't be too hard. .....but that's me.I am sure you will be successful in whatever method you choose. Any special reason you chose the Clark Y?Dan HelsperPuryear, TN. -----Original Message-----
