Dear Grant,

Nice talking to you again.

. . . enclosed is a photo of my project as of January 25 1996. I have since finished. painted and installed adjustable cabane diagonals . rudder and elevator horns (formed and welded per plans, several instruments and all control cables including tailwheel steering. I tied in the tailwheel steering cables to the rudder cables just aft of the rear cockpit. They are indivldually adjustable with turnbuckles. Motor mounts are also done and installed and I am presently working on cockpit cowling. Thank goodness that Spring is close at hand. Building time will increase quite a bit!

There is no publication that I look forward to more than the Newsletter. There's never been an issue without at least one great idea that l can use in my own project . So I'm really anxious to see the 'expanded' Spring issue. Pietenpols forever !
