    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: <gcardinal@mn.rr.com> Hi Forrest, NX18235 came in at 616 pounds empty. We were a bit surprised at the low weight. We knew the landing gear was heavy (60#) and all through the project we never made a conscious effort to keep the weight down. We just stuck close to the plans and we didn't add anything unnecessary. We used 2.7 oz. fabric and no more paint than necessary.

    Subject: Project Update
    I started building the fuselage in early November and have it all together including turtledeck and am finishing up work on seats. Floor is on, of course. I haven't put the plywood skins on front sides of fuselage yet as I followed somebody else's example of leaving it off until the seats and controls are all figured out and installed -- makes for easier access. Control stick assembly is next along with landing gear. Hope to cut out steel fitings this week and have it on gear before long. Will post some pics one of these days... Meanwhile it is supposed to be 54 degrees today here in the American Siberia (Wis.) and so I'm thinking about that Model A engine out in the garage. Needs to be totally rebuilt for aircraft use and warm weather makes it easy to mess around in the garage... By the way, the plans call for spruce for landing gear legs/struts (straight axle) -- is this what most use? Regards, Fred B.

    Subject: project updates
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Malcolm Morrison" <morrisons5@adelphia.net> I put a few more pictures on my web site, http://users.adelphia.net/~morrisons5/piet.html . I have the left wing just about done and have 11 ribs made for the right wing. The fuselage and tail are in pretty good shape. My motivation seems to come and go, so sometimes I make good progress, and sometimes weeks go by with no visible progress. I don't really like making all the brackets, it seems that there is no end to them. And many things, seat belts for example, require a lot of head scratching. But, it is great when you finally get past a stumbling block and complete another piece of the puzzle. Looking forward to meeting you guys at Brodhead. Malcolm Morrison

    Subject: leading edge
    I read that someone was glueing the leading edge ply from spar to spar around the leading edge. This is what i know as a "D" tube, built right, very strong and rigid. You could not rig a wing like this. There would be lots of stress on the ply skin. And the but joints would have to part. Howdy

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: <gcardinal@mn.rr.com> Credit for the prop goes to Dale. Everything he touches looks beautiful. And there is less than $50.00 invested in it, INCLUDING the prop duplicating machine.

    Subject: started some covering
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "DJ Vegh" <djv@imagedv.com> today was such a beautiful day. blue sky, 75, slight breeze. All the rich dudes out at Falcon Field were flying thier T-6's, T-28's and Stearmans. I figured why should they have all the fun. I decided to get out of my "N74DV misery pit" and do something. Cleaned out the shop and tried my hand at covering the vertical stab. I can see this is going to be a bit of a learning curve, but it seems like I'll catch the hang of it. Vertical stab is covered but still needs to be stitched and tapes applied. I think I've conjured up a small burst of motivation so I need to ride the wave and go with it. Tomorrow I cover the horiz. stab. ohhh a question..... should I be covering the vert and horiz stabs with one piece or 2 pieces (one on each side) ? I started out doing it as one piece but screwed up so now the vert stab is in 2 pieces.... is this a no-no? DJ Vegh N74DV back in progress (for the time being) Mesa, AZ www.imagedv.com/aircamper

    <001301c50b47$85d41720$edf61e41@ATO> DJ Good for you. I covered in two pieces, one each side. As far as I know rib stitching on the horizontals and vertical are optional at the speed of the Piet, check with the manufacturers instructions.
