Dear List,
My Flying and Glider Manuel is a little blurred. It appears that the steel
that is used to reinforce the areas around the wood landing gear on page 17 is
16 gage steel. Even with a magnifying glass it is hard to be sure. Can someone
confirm that it is 16 gage. Thanks. Dave in Missouri

I believe that St. Croix Aircraft is or was connected with Chad C. Wille.
He's an old hand at Pietenpols. (I mentioned him the other day in a posting.)
Chad's Scout is featured on p.30 of Sport Aviation Feb 1998. I have one of their

I've never spun it....Carl Vought, Huntsville, AL

I did my rib stitching by myself. To reduce the number of trips from one side
of the wing to the other, I made 15 straight needles each about 8" long.
After marking and punching stitch locations, I ran all needles through the wing,
along one rib, went to the bottom side of the wing and ran them all back
through the wing. Then I went back to the top side and tied starting knots at each
location (the Polyfiber manual speaks approvingly of using all starter knots).
Then I proceeded to the next rib and did the same thing....Carl Vought

Dave,
The outside vee fitting in the lower right corner of the of figure 6A is
pretty clear, 16 gage steel. The other inside vee, outside and inside
landing gear fittings are not very readable, but do look like 16 gage, most
likely, probably ;<)
Maybe someone who actually made this type of gear will write in and say what
thickness 4130 they used.

Subject: | The myths about rib stitching |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Sayre, William G" <william.g.sayre@boeing.com>
As usual, Michael is right on with his forge ahead advice. My first job rib-stitching
still makes me chuckle inside. I had the book (Stitts). I had the video.
I had 41.13. I read and watched carefully. Both paper resources just gave
me a headache with the "pull line A through loop B while going under piece
C" stuff.
I have to mention that my workshop/play area is about 200 feet from my house.
I'd watch the video, pause certain scenes, rewind and repeat for details and when
I was totally convinced that I understood it I'd confidently go to the shop
and discover that in 200 feet I had totally forgotten what I had just seen.
I'd get about three knots down the rib and "poof", "How'd that go?"
Back to the house and pause, rewind and repeat until I was absolutely, positively
totally convinced I understood it and off I'd go that 200 feet just to find
I was still confused. This had to happen three or four times before I finally
grabbed a scrape front seat frame and covered it with fabric, shrunk it and
sat down in front of the TV and slowly followed the video step by step. For me,
that finally did it and the rib-stitching went well after that.
It really is easy and even enjoyable - once you work through that dang nab convoluted
process. Of course then there's the brackets or braces that end up in
the way. The wax feeling you get on your hands and of course, how darned sharp
that thread can end up being after doing a bunch of ribs. But that's another
smile I get thinking about the joys of homebuilding. Keep at it. We all need
things to smile and chuckle about!

Pieters-
Just got word that John Ficklen's Piet will be inspected on Saturday!! It will
be based at the Apalachicola, FL airport. His next goal is to have the time flown
off in time to take it to Sun-N-Fun. After that, he's committed to getting
it to B'head for the 75th anniversary reunion.
Speaking of the anniversary............... looks like there is NOTHING planned
at OSH for the observance of this venerable old design. What to do??

ps. Got an e-mail last night from Mike Madrid out in Lompoc, CA that he just bought

Actually DJ, I consider it a community issue that goes beyond one or
two individuals. It was the flood of 'way cool' responses, along
with the big picture files that drove Gene Rambo off the list.
I don't think Del was out of line at all to request a little more

Subject: | Re: The hardest part |
I hope so. Sure he isn't refering to an Advisory for an aircraft manufacturer?
Maybe I'm doing too much here, but in my conversations with Dave Smith at MSP
MIDO , who is supervising my inspection, they are asking for more. He says
the log is to include pictures of sub assemblies not visable, a written
description of work preformed, including outside help received, detail of any
modifications from plan and a cronological timeline of construction. I just passed
20 pages on this part.
The operation manual is to include a parts list, weight balance data,
anticipated operation limits and preformance data. I was told the Cessna 150 manual
might be a good base for design.
The Advisory Circular for Homebuilts states that all aircraft must have an
Operations Manual for flight. Am I wrong on this point?

Subject: | Re: the myths about rib stitching |
Interesting idea but why didn't you do several ribs at the same time? One starter
knot and then work up these ribs. With 15 needles you could do 15 ribs minimizing
the switching sides as well.

no need to scare him off right off the bat. So what if he appreciates someone
answering his requests.
I think about it this way... if we were all at a fly-in and we were all talking
in a circle, and one guy asks a question... and say another guy answers it.
It would be really wierd for the guy who asked the question to then grab the hand
of the guy who answered his question and then run off into the corner and
secretly give his thanks... you might think he's gay or something.

seriously though... I can understand it to some extent..... I just enjoy being

Max,
Now I remember... I think there should be a witness hole up along the threaded
part of the strut bottom about 3/4" or an inch. When you have the clevis in the
strut, a piece of wire stuck in the hole should hit the clevis indicating that
it is in that far or more. Does this make sense? It may be clogged with
paint, etc..
Spherical joints also use this witness hole method of ensuring adequate thread
engagement.

Subject: | Re: threaded end of cub struts |
well... first I wanted to find the thread stress area if the fork was threaded
1/2" (10 turns) which on a 7/16-20 is .119" =B2/revolution.
I foundthe formula for that here:
http://www.engineersedge.com/calculators/thrd_strss_100a_pop.htm
so.....
.119 x 10 turns 1.19" =B2
I figured 5G's of the gross weight hanging on just one strut fork with the strut
at 60=B0 would be 12,000 lb
so 12,000/1.19 approx 10kpsi.
I'm guessing the lift strut fork has an ultimate shear failure of at least 90kpsi.
that leaves me with a factor of safety of 9! and thats if the entire plane is
hanging from just one fork which does not happen happens.
So then I just figured 3/4" looks about right. :-)

Max,
Now I remember... I think there should be a witness hole up along the threaded
part of the strut bottom about 3/4" or an inch. When you have the clevis in
the strut, a piece of wire stuck in the hole should hit the clevis indicating
that it is in that far or more. Does this make sense? It may be clogged with
paint, etc..
Spherical joints also use this witness hole method of ensuring adequate thread
engagement.

How's it going? I have been extremely busy at work as of late and have not
had the time to pester the Rochester Gauge Co. I thought I would give them a
little time, anyway, and regroup before the next attack.
I have some photo's and even a 20 second clip if you are interested and have
DSL. I can't remember if I sent it out or not. I don't think I did because
of all the whining about large files on the list.
Let me know back...I would be happy to send pictures of the prototype with
assorted fittings to date. We are going to install them in the next few days.
As soon as we get the plumbing installed we are going to put the wings on.
Does the 2 1/2 thread rule apply the lift struts? If so, how in the world can
I cut those things to those tolerances. I am almost positive a cub has more
than 3 treads showing.
Have a good one,

Subject: | Re: the myths about rib stitching |
That's the way I started to do it....one needle for each rib..But I decided
to do one rib at a time because the work is concentrated in one place,
requiring less movement from one rib to the next. Secondly, I thread 30" of waxed
cord
onto each needle at a time. I wind all 15 pieces of cord around a fixture (a
board with two nails 15" apart) at one time then thread all needles at one
sitting....It all seemed simpler to me to deal with the short pieces of cord than
the long ones. How many feet of cord are required to do one rib on a piet
with the conventional method? What is meant by stitch "sides"? Besides, with the
starting knot, a straight needle is required. That makes it easier to get
consistency between needles and to find the hole on the opposite side of the wing.
I found that I was tying enough knots per hour to put some serious wear on my
fingers, so I took a RH glove and cut off the thumb and index finger. That
protected the fingers getting the most abuse and provided the dexterity required
for the thumb and index finger.

Dave,
The outside vee fitting in the lower right corner of the of figure 6A is pretty
clear, 16 gage steel. The other inside vee, outside and inside landing gear
fittings are not very readable, but do look like 16 gage, most likely, probably
;<)
Maybe someone who actually made this type of gear will write in and say what
thickness 4130 they used.

My Flying and Glider Manuel is a little blurred. It appears that the steel
that is used to reinforce the areas around the wood landing gear on page
17 is 16 gage steel. Even with a magnifying glass it is hard to be sure. Can
someone confirm that it is 16 gage. Thanks. Dave in Missouri

As per the Poly Fiber manual, if, after you snap chalk lines, you
"pre-poke" the stitch holes, by sliding the wing toward you , you can
stitch half(front to back) the wing at the aeleron area. From the rear and
then from the front.
The root of the wing can be done with just a little stretching to get to the
center.
Just put the wing on horses instead of a table, so when you put the needle
down thru you can climb under and pull it down and send it back up.
The note in the Poly fiber manual about the light under the wing pointing up
is the answer. Makes the wing invisable, and you can see everything.
including all control cables and drag/anti-drag wires
Funny how the strangest things put up a mental block of jobs to do on
building. :

I see in the ebay pic that you had the carb on top of the engine, but I think I
remember that you put it underneath although the 2nd pic doesn't look like a
vair setup. did you run it gravity feed on the bottom and it still didn't want
to run right? I've been thinking about a pressure pump that will work with the
aerocarb. I also noticed that when you had it mounted on top, it is oriented
the wrong direction to the intake tubes to run properly. Its just that mine works
so well that I hate to think that you have to waste your money on an ellison.
I mean, we are innovative people here, who can make a simple vair engine
work, why can't we figure out a little ol' aerocarb. that so many are flying with
already, with good success. the aerocarb may have its thing, but it atomizes
the fuel well, it only has a couple of moving parts, and its ice resistant,
unlike a complex expensive ellison.

That's the way I did it. I had my 29' wing mounted on vertical jigs in
the living room, dining room and out the back door to the enclosed back porch.
It was pretty easy to access the top and the bottom of the wing. I marked a
5' piece of capstrip with the stitch location, and just went down the wing,
and pencil marked the stitch locations. I think I spliced the chord once for
each rib. A bright light allows you to see inside the wing. Some stitches
had to be moved a little, to avoid some things inside the wing. I think they
were 2 1/2" apart in the prop blast + one rib, and the rest of the wing was 3
1/2" apart. I think I had like 500 stitches total wing.
The wing was a main topic of conservation when I had a visitor. The two
most popular questions were "Are you married?", and "How are you going to get
this thing out of the house?"
