Subject: Pietenpol-List: Welcome to Mike Rich from DallasGood to see you on the list Mike and I'm not sure what you're talking about these fellas being nice and down to earth......they are abunch of four-flushers and nudnicks:) ! Seriously, they are a good group of people and very helpful.We have builders and Piet enthusiasts from all walks of life from retired F-16 pilots and airline pilots to hang glider pilots and everythingin between. We have the spectrum of engineers, worker bees, and you name it for career backgrounds and experience. I'm alwaysamazed at who I meet on the list and when you get to know them you wonder "gosh....someone who flies 747's wants to build a Pietenpolfor fun flying? Yep. Lots of them and guys like me who have never gone any further than having a simple private pilot license you'llfind here.Sometimes you get great advice, sometimes you get lousy advice but when the lousy (or accidentally in error) advice comes up usuallyit will be duly noted but generally in a friendly and uplifting way. Sometimes not but that is the exception.And Mike.....one word of advice. To understand what is being said sometimes you have to know quotes from two aviation movies---TheGreat Waldo Pepper and Airplane. Things will make more sense when you see spastic quotes out of nowhere on the list then if you knowthese two movies which you prolly already do.And lastly, when in doubt do it like my Uncle Tony (Bingelis) suggests just to be on the safe side. Before Al Gore invented the Internet I reliedFULLY on what Tony's books told me were sound and good building practices and you just can't go wrong with his advice as far as homebuiltairplanes go.Mike C. in Ohio[cid:image001.jpg(at)01CE2FCF.69A21A10]________________________________________________________________________________

That's advice well taken Mike, thanks. Hey I had question for you, in your DVD I didn't see the leather on the turtle deck. Did you add that to keep from scuffing up the paint getting in and out ? ----- Original Message -----
