| Subject: | Wheels and tire query |
Thankyou for the responses on my wheels and tire
queries. The weight rating was extremely helpful. I
don't know why the Sun & Fun tire salesman gave me
wrong weights?
I'm planning on Northern Tools general hubs and
tires. They have a variety of assorted wheels and
tires already assembled. I guess size was my concern,
trying to figure it out as per the plans. Greg your
information was extremely helpful. I don't know of
any Henderson plans instructions? There was no
attachment to your email either that you mentioned?
I'm starting to get the feeling of metal work now,
kind of fun, if time consuming and laborious with only
hand hacksaw and hand drill.
I went to Sun & Fun last year and this year and it
is definitely disappointing that no Pietenpols are
there, other than the antique comedy one. I'm
guessing they must charge people to show their
airplanes for the parking or something? So why take
your plane if you have to pay? I pretty much skipped
all the planes out on the field for my one day visit
and just hit the booths, tents and sheds. My Finnish
buddy from Chapter 37 picked up a bunch of parts
including two sets of 4 point harnesses, of which I'm
envious. Darned if I know where he found those for
$20 a piece?

I have checked Northern Tool (I LOVE that place!) and they have nothing I would
personally consider suitable for homebuilt aircraft use. The 6" hubs built by
Ken Perkins (I can find his email/contact info if you're interested) expressly
for this purpose (and pretty darn close to the "Henderson plans") is the only
safe way to go. Certainly not the only option, but it's your butt or one of
a loved one that will be depending on the quality of those round things bearing
the load when you return to terra firma......
There are many "would this work?" parts out there that would maybe do ok (like
Home Depot turnbuckles and plywood) but is that really what you want to use?
But Fisherman, please don't take this as criticism. My intent is to share an excellent
source of homebuilt airplane parts with you (and the price is right!).
And you say the word and I'll help track down the contact info.

Just to make sure before I start glueing, does the 3/16" ply that goes on the
leading edge and center beam go on top and on the bottom of the stabilizer?
Thanks

| Subject: | Rib layout question |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Dan Loegering" <danl@odayequipment.com>
Good morning all,
A quick question on rib layout - I have a copy of the original "glider manual"
plans for the Air Camper and the Sky Scout - I am currently using these plans
to construct a 1/3 scale RC Piet (mainly to help convince the wife that I really
need to buy the "real" plans and build a full scale one). On the rib layout
drawing, are the dimensions shown taken from the chord line for both the upper
and lower outlines, or do you add the two dimensions to arrive at the upper
airfoil location? Example: At the first 5" station, the lower dimension is
5/8" and the upper is 6" - I know that the bottom dimension will give me the correct
undercamber, but should the top of the airfoil be at 6" from the chord,
or 6 5/8" from the chord...
Will be purchasing the "official" plans for the Air Camper shortly - and hope to
build the full size rib jig soon.

I'm not sure if I read your problem right? But you
do put the plywood gussets on top, but if you use Poly
Fiber like I did, you have to cut strips of wood to go
around the stabilizer to fill in the gaps between
plywood gussets, as Poly Fiber dacron heat shrink
covering, needs a constant perimeter level piece of
wood to glue to, so when you shrink it, it shrinks
evenly. If you have a gap on the perimeter your
dacron will sag in the gap without a surface to glue
to and shrink distorted. I learned the hard way!

I'll be unsubscribing from the list for a while, work is picking up and I
just don't have the willpower to not read the digest every morning. After
reading, I'm then left daydreaming the rest of the morning. This list is a
wonderful distraction.
In the event that anyone on the list would like to contact me, I will be
available by email.
Sincerely,

Fellow Builders, I have a question.
I am building the new extended fuselage. A dimension on it and the original
varies 7/8" This is the one from the tail post to where the stringers begain.
Can any one tell me what this added 7/8" will do for or against me? The 18"
given on the original plans agree with the diminsion for the horizontal stab.
Should I increas this dimension on the stab to agree with the 18 7/8" on the
extended fuselage?
Thanks in advance.
