Hi,I picked up a copy of Dec/98 Custom Planes, the new Private Pilotbi-monthly magazine. There's an article (I have to admit, I haven't readit yet) on the Piet right at the end of the mag. There's also a goodarticle on fabric covering. It's only the forth edition but I have to saythat it's quite a good technical magazine.Ken.________________________________________________________________________________

Ken,I picked up the Custom Planes as well after seeing the article on thePietenpol. Loved the pictures, but some of the info is bad, such as aVW engine being too heavy for an Air Camper. Just the opposite, it istoo light, and not enough torque, either. Saw some errors in the otherarticles as well. Seems typical for a new publication, give them timeto get their reporting straight, but be careful of everything they sayfor now.MikeKen Beanlands wrote:> > Hi,> > I picked up a copy of Dec/98 Custom Planes, the new Private Pilot> bi-monthly magazine.
