I have heard mention of this 'centerline dimensioning' before. I was
wondering if you knew of any documentation on this or if it had been
verified on one of the existing 'original' aircraft. I want to make sure it
is not merely a myth before I take advantage of the potential weight savings
to be found throughout the airframe.

I bought one at the Cub Fly in a few years ago at Lockhaven, Pa for $2.00
If you look around at the flea markets at the various air shows you can
usually get some pretty good deals,of course, you can get ripped off just as
easy too.

Has anyone bought wood locally in GA, N.-FLA, ALA, TENN, NC, or SC? I could sure
use some Names and/or Phone #'s.
Just trying to find some in a one day drive from Atlanta.
Need wing wood for 5 Piets and 3 Ryan STA's

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "walter evans" <wbeevans@worldnet.att.net>
For all of you flying with skinny wheels,,,,,,used to fly my Fisher 404 (with standard
small wheels) with soft tires cause I didn't have brakes. One day on
landing, I spun the tire on the tube and got a flat cause it tore the stem.
My question is,,,has anyone with skinny wheels had problem with tires spinning
on tubes? or flats? This came to mind once when I landed on the pavement and
heard a chirp. (In my high hour plane of 3.5hours on the tach) Trying to forsee
problems before they come.
What pressure are you guys running in the skinny tires??
thanks

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Les Schubert <leskarin@telus.net>
I am just getting started on my piet and I am wondering about some things
1. I see the piet does not have dihedral on the wing. It would seem like a
good idea and with a 3 piece wing it would seem to be easy to accomplish. I
am sure somebody has tried it.
2. It seems like most other planes have a elevator counterbalance weight so
you can get a more neutral stick when you are flying. Or maybe it is in the
plans and i haven't spotted it yet. Again i can't see it as being that hard
to add.
3. In the same line how about elevator trim. This would take a little more
work and maybe with a elevator counterbalance you wouldn't need it.
I guess I have read about some of the first flights on the net and it would
seem like these changes might work well, then again maybe someone will
educate me.

RCModeler, Sept, 1975
Nice set of plans in the mag. Will give
17" span right off the page. Easily enlarged.
One of the models illustrated is an A with
brass radiator and engine turned cowl,
cream wings and brown fuselage, wire
wheels- very nice!
do not archive

Les,
#1. If I were to build the 3 piece wing I would allow for some dihedral, not
for stability but to keep the wing from looking a B-52 sitting on the ramp,
you know droopy wings.
#2 Balances on this machine are way ahead of it's time, just needless weight.
#3 A trim tab would be in my opinion a worth while device to have, Mike Cuy
developed a trim system that works good.
