that's the same one that was for sale last year. Not sure why it's listed
again cause I thought it sold last time.
It does look nice though. I like the aluminum combing work.

Listers,
I was wondering if it is really necessary to purchase plans for the
Pietenpol Air Camper, or the GN-1, when the plans in the 1932 Flying and Glider
Manual (available from EAA) seem to be good enough to build from? Isn't that
why
they were published originally?

Dan,
The plans include changes/improvements to several areas including cable routings,
landing gear, spar fittings,
rib construction, etc...

Dan,
You could build from the F&G plans. The 1934 plans, from Don Pietenpol, are called
improved and most seem to think they are. They are also bigger and there is
more detail. The 34 plans are 2 1/2 inches longer and the Corvair fuselage is
about 14 inches longer, you may want the longer fuse if you are larger than
about 5'8" and 180 lbs. or just want more space. If you use the F&G plans check
out the diagonal brace in the pilot pit, it goes the same way all the other
diagonals go, opposite from the 34 plans. The F&G are also missing the long gusset
on the lower longeron aft of the pilot seat and the large gusset on the tail
post. The 34 plans also have larger and harder wood braces across the floor
at the lift strut attach points. Hope this helps.

Dan,
I think you could easily use the F&G plans. There
seem to be about three types of Piet builders: those
who stick religiously to the plans and don't stray at
all, those who stray just a little from the plans, and
those who stray a lot. There are even a few who use
the plans only as an educational resource and from
them build an entirely different airplane. All of the
above builders are correct in that they are building
airplanes and are having fun. For my project, I could
have easily just used the F&G plans and my plane would
have turned out just the same. If you are the purist
builder, then the 1934 plans may be more helpful to
you. Either way, you will have fun building this
little airplane (and it's variations).
