Build the three piece and then you also have the option of installing a
second gas tank in the middle section or using it for storage like some
people do.You also won't need so much space,easier to store.I would also
think that the table you build it on won't have to be so long so less
chance of getting warps etc.I have a three piece with a gas tank in the
middle.I didn't build my aircraft but I am finishing it off.

I need to decide if I can build the one piece wing. Here is the
situation,
it looks like I will be building my wing about 60 miles from my house(in
my
parents garage) I might be able to build the one piece wing there.
After I
build it, it will not fit in my garage and storing it in the house is
not an
option. I will not have a hanger for any foreseeable future so that's
out
too. Is it really feasible to build the one piece wing? Will I run into
problems if I build the wing and fuselage without fitting them together?
Should I just build the 3 piece wing so my life is easier? Come on let
me
know what you think, everyone has an opinion.

Sounds like you NEED to build a three piece wing...You could probably build
the panels at home rather than drive 60 miles each way just to work on
it...If I had to drive that far to work on it I might never get it
finished...Plus you could then transport the panels easily and store them at
home...

Chris,
The 3-piece wing will add a significant
amount of work and time to your
project.
If at all possible, go with the 1-piece wing.

Subject: | built up spar testing |
The subject comes up every now and then about the possible use of a builtup spar
to save weight and or cost.
Here is as site that might be helpful when it comes to testing;
http://www.flysquirrel.net/wing/spartest.html
Also here is a very nice Australian Piet construction site http://www.cpc-world.com/
It is Corvair powered and has built up box spars.
Look on page 4 of the photo and there are a few of the spar construction
I believe the plans for the box spar are available in the UK.
(I'm told that they will not be sold in the USA because fear of our legal profession.)
When I wrote to the Pietenpol family asking about these spars I didn't even get
an acknowledgement.

Chris, Glad to hear that you are starting on the wing. I also had to build
my piet a good distance from where I live and I built the 3-piece wing. I
can think of many reasons that favor the 3-piece: It seems a lot easier to
handle 2-15' pieces, it is definetly easier to move from shop to shop, and
just in case it is going to take a bit more time to finish the rest of the
plane, the two wings are easier to store in a regular garage. There should
be no problem having built the fuselage first although I wish I had built
the wings first just because they're so cool to have around the shop. The
one piece wing is ideal for bachelors or people with lots of shop space.
There is, in my mind at least, no disadvantage to the 3-piece. Having to
build a one-piece wing would have been a deal breaker for me because I
never could have found the space.

I have built both ways. I prefer the 1 piece. As Greg said, the 3 piece is
more work, but the 1 piece is a lot to handle. Moving it around requires
1-2 helpers and takes up space for a long period of time. Will your parents
be willing to give up 30'x6' while you are covering and painting? You wont
be able to leave it vertical during that time. Have you considered joining
an EAA chapter with a hangar that would have space to rent?

30 x 6 is the minimum amount of space he'll need.Think about it.The
table will have to be almost double the size in width and longer than 30
ft by at least 3 feet.How about the living room and the dinning room
combined and maybe even the bathroom in a small place.Oh can I use your
kitchen for the next few months while I putter away at this thing?Where
are you going to keep all the wood as you put this thing together;the
glue,the nails,the tools,etc,etc,etc.By the time you get finished you'll
be lucky if anyone within a blocks radius will talk to you.Invite your
friends and neighbours over for a get together when you get this thing
about half finished ,it makes for a hell of a conversation piece.That is
if you can get them in the door.Did I mention the sawdust?Who the hell
has a garage that big anyway? Why not build two while your at it ,one
for your wife if she hasn't left you!Build an extra one to hang up in
your living room and dinning room as a decoration.Paint it pretty
colours.Everyone will love it!

I simply said that building an airplane in that constrained environment

Subject: | how to convert an F-16 to carry smoke oil |
Guys-- I cut and pasted this about how they modify F-16's when used for the
Thunderbird team........
According to Captain Moreland, the gun system and ammunition drum have to
be removed to make room for the smoke oil system that delivers the white
smoke seen in the shows. The smoke system and the paint are the two main
differences. But the work that goes into making a jet Thunderbird material
is something entirely different.

Chris,
While I used a three-piece wing on my Pietenpol because of limited working
space, I would have preferred to use the one-piece version since it is:
1. Lighter*
2. Easier to build**
3. Less expensive***
Once the wing is mounted, and remains so, the advantage of the three-piece
version disappears. In 35 years, I have had the wings off only twice for
painting and replacing the fabric covering, So, if you keep it hangared
while not flying and don't "bend" it while flying, you won't be bothered
very frequently by the awkwardness of a 30 foot wing.
The limiting factor, as I see it, is the amount of working space available
to the builder.
Graham Hansen (Pietenpol CF-AUN)
* BHP himself told me one could save as much as 15 pounds by using the
one-piece wing.
**Alignment of the one-piece version is facilitated while building and
making two extra butt ribs is not required. As well, reinforcing butt ribs
against fabric tension is unnecessary simply because there are no butt ribs!
***The hardware (bolts, fittings, etc.) required for the three-piece wing
will add to the cost of the project.

Chris,
I won't be attending because I live in central Alberta, Canada and am too far away
from great events (although I have been to OSH five times---the last in 1991).
I'd LOVE to attend Brodhead, but it is simply too far for this old guy to
fly his Pietenpol to get there (same distance to get back home, too). I really
wish I were closer, geographically speaking, to you people.
Cheers,
Graham

Subject: Pietenpol-List: how to convert an F-16 to carry smoke oil
Guys-- I cut and pasted this about how they modify F-16's when used for the
Thunderbird team........
According to Captain Moreland, the gun system and ammunition drum have to be
removed to make room for the smoke oil system that delivers the white smoke
seen in the shows. The smoke system and the paint are the two main
differences. But the work that goes into making a jet Thunderbird material
is something entirely different.

Fred,
There are lots of conversion charts out there. Most of them just add to the confusion
because the thicknesses listed are not available
from the mills.
Also, available tubing thicknesses are different than available sheet thicknesses.
Try these:
Gage to decimal for TUBING
11 ga .120
12 ga N/A
13 ga .095
14 ga .083
16 ga .065
17 ga .058
18 ga .049
20 ga .035
22 ga .028
Gage to decimal for SHEET
11 ga .125
12 ga .100
13 ga .090
14 ga .080
16 ga .063
18 ga .050
20 ga .040
22 ga .032 or .025

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Metal parts
Don't know if this has been covered in the archives -- probably has, but...do
folks still build metal parts per the plans, i.e. 16 gauge mild steel, or 12
gauge mild steel, for example? Or, does everyone substitue 4130 nowadays, and
if so, what gauge of 4130? Has anyone compiled a list that could be posted giving
thickness of 4130 for various parts including for the control sticks and torque
tube?
Only a month to Brodhead!

Subject: | Brodhead - is anything happening on Friday July 22nd? |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Mike Whaley" <MerlinFAC@cfl.rr.com>
Hi all,
Will it be worth it to go to Brodhead on Friday the 22nd? We have to be in
Oshkosh very early Saturday, and since we're driving up from central Florida
(and have a bunch of pets to make arrangements for) we want to make sure
that there will actually be people and planes to see in Brodhead on Friday
before we commit to leaving a day earlier than we'd otherwise need to.
Thanks!

Mike,
I know this from experience.
It is best to arrive at Brodhead on THursday late afternoon and then head
out to OSH on Saturday afternoon or SUnday morning.
Friday is a big day at Brodhead. If you get there at noon on Saturday, you
will esentially have missed the event.

As others have written, Friday is a big day for Brodhead. I don't
know as I agree that Saturday is completely secondary, but for sure
Sunday is quiet.

Subject: | Re: Wing question |
Chris,
Yours is the typical situation that drives the need for a 3 piece wing. If
building the 3 piece wing puts the project close to home, even though it will
take more construction time, you will be time ahead to avoid the drive. In
order to complete such an enormous project, like building an airplane from
scratch, you MUST do SOMETHING on the project every single day. Happy Building
!!
