Subject: Pietenpol-List: Bending Flat Steel - fittings
I've been struggling to find a good method to bend flat steel to form
the "Upper Wing Fittings" (the pieces that wrap around the spars for the
cabane strut to attach). Does anyone have a good method to bend these
nicely short of using a finger brake? I can of coarse easily make the
first bend in the vise, but the second bend about 7/8" from the first
bend is the difficult one.
Do you guys also interlock the other piece of flat steel (for the cabane
strut to attach) between the bottom of the spar and the fitting
described above, or weld the tabs on to the fittings as the plan shows?
Thank you, and thanks for the recent sites of all the Pietenpol photos.
John

You can always just cut out the pieces separately and weld the top piece
on, which it actually does not need anyway, other airplanes only have
the flat side fittings without a strap over the top of the spar. It
probably does not add anything but weight anyway.

Well, ok, not a BIG fly in but Chuck will be here! That's pretty neat.
Actually, the Markle Clan will be having a house warming this Saturday
afternoon (Aug 26), so if you're in the area (or COULD be in the area!),
come on over! We have a nice little 1200' sod landing strip about a
mile from the house....all mowed and ready for Chuck and anyone else on
the list that might be able to come by for a visit. The ribs will go
into the smoker on Thursday or Friday so come on over!
I plan on getting the Model A and prop bolted up so those sweet
pokata-pokata-pokata sounds will be heard...I can hardly wait! The cows
and horses and neighbors (ok, neighboring farmers!) are in for a real
treat!

Hey!!!....it's doable!!!
60 miles from Palm Beach to Bimini....or 69 miles to Freeport, Grand
Bahama Island. From there you could "Hop" your way down the island Chain
to Providence (Nassau) Island and even further on down South...all the
way down to Grand Turk Islands.
Would you trust your engine for 60-70 miles? Only 1 hour or so...
depending on the wind. Hmmmm...Only problem is...if it quits...you're in
the ditch.
Scarey, huh???...but think of the possibilities!
I can already smell that Jerk chicken on the grill...and Bob Marley on
the juke box!
Dave...(Hey 'Mon...you flew over in THAT)???...Down in Florida.
