Two questions: Is your firewall position to the plans? (12" forward of the
front ash cross strut). How many inches did you have to move your wing back
to make CG (if any)?
Thanks

After Broadhead everybody may be going thru a period of quiet relection or
rapid gluing and sanding.

After reading all the glowing reports of Brodhead 05 I have been trying hard
to work under an outside shed on my fuse but this La heat is tough on an ole
man so have decided to cover the fuse with a tarp and go into the a/c shop
and begin the wings. By the time they are completed it should be a bit cooler.
I want to be one of those who fly into Brodhead 06, God willing. Promised
Chuck Gantzer he could have a portion of my stand-up tent since his is too long
for his Wal-Mart shelter

Rick,
The fuselage is built to the supplemental (Corvair) plans. I will
verify the dimension this weekend.
The wing is moved back 3 1/2 inches and we are flying close to the aft
cg limit.

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Jake Crause" <admin@homebuiltairplanes.com>
Greetings,
I've been able to find some references in the archives about the 3/4"
spar being OK. My question is how was that conclusion reached? Can't
seem to find that part in the archives. I do not doubt that it is OK,
but I was hoping to have some facts to back up my choice for the smaller
spar. Was there an analysis done?
Does anyone have a weight comparison between the 1" routed spar and a
solid 3/4".

Several people asked about where to order the hub/rim/spokes/tires/tubes like the
21" wheel I took to Brodhead.
I scanned all the invoices and copied them to the files section of mykitplane.com...
Keep in mind that the invoices are for 2 sets so watch the quantities......I think
the tires/tubes were for one set but just watch the quantities closely....
They can be found here:

Jake,
Page 64 of the manual (note 10) says that Pietenpol himself used spars
laminated out of 3/4" square material for his later aircraft.
The engineering that would go into it would be to calculate the moment
of inertia for the two cross-sections. Units come out as inches to the
fourth power. The higher the moment of inertia, the better.
I started covering my Piet this week--tail and one aileron have
Polyfiber on them now, and wings are off.
