thanx Michael for your prompt reply to my e-mails on the above subjects. I have posted my check for the tape and I'm certain I will find it of great value seeing how someone else has approached the various construction problems each Piet builder faces. In regard to the gear placement I am happy to get some more info on the changes that were done to Sky Gypsy. I have my gear positioned in accordance with the plans. I should get some clue to whether I have a problem when I have done my pre-cover W&B but will not know for sure until my first high speed taxi runs on how easily the tail comes off. One thing I have learned over the years is to carefully weigh other builders' methods and changes but to understand that every plane is unique unto itself and that the only thing you should rely on is your own project. However, having said that ,I must acknowledge that I have certainly benifited from the many great ideas other builders have shared with me through personal correspondence.Don Hicks________________________________________________________________________________
