Subject: Pietenpol-List: Besides Pietenpols......this list has garnered me someamazing friendsWhen I first started on this list and building my Piet I never knew that it would generate so many dear and meaningfulfriendships. Truthfully those friendships have meant more to me than the actual airplane and it was primarily thru thislist that those friendships were formed. Getting to know guys both on and off list and exchange ideas is so helpful but in somecases you find you have very similar values and sense of humor and from there the friendships take off. Throw in whatkind of food you like and things like other hobbies you might have in common and you almost forget what brought you together.I've got a friend in Texas who I met thru the Pietenpol list and we haven't talked about Pietenpols in probably two years or sobut we talk about everything else in daily life now as if we were brothers or even closer than brothers. That's wild but that's thelasting value of this side endeavor to build an inexpensive homebuilt that everybody seems to love.Brodhead used to be just a time for me to photograph and measure other Pietenpols but then after meeting people on thislist you looked forward to meeting them. Doc and Dee Mosher have done a great job at making sure we register at Brodheadand get name tags. It's so cool to see a name on a shirt that matches someone on the list you've seen for a while- you get tokibitz and see what the person is like in person. Really cool. I know I've gone out of my way as well as others who are friendsof mine to meet when we can at places other than Brodhead in family travels or business trips all because we have a commoninterest in this little monoplane homebuilt from the 1930's.Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Size of the turtle deck stringers

Mark,I recall going through the same process. I was sure I had seen the stringer dimensionssomewhere on the plans, yet, when I searched I simply could not find them.However, if you go to the 1932 FGM article, there is a small detail thatspells out the size (see attachment). Your "guess" of 1/4" x 1" is right on themoney.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/turt ... __________
