    Re: Carl's Piet projects. Call me at 256-883-9869 and I'll put you in touch with our friend Bob who is an engineer/pilot and knows the projects. He can furnish you with photos and answer questions that I cannot.

I am interested can you provide pics and do you have a builders log from your hubby's build. Why did he decide not to continue with the project he bought? Was hubby a big man and did he build for his size or did he stay strictly to pietenpol plans Thanks John

    Subject: Wing strut fitting question
    Guys Am attempting to make my top wing strut fittings (bending .090" strap around a piece of tubing), in advance of receiving my struts from Jack. Have the strap bent around the tube but I can't come up with a good way to finish bending the strap tight all the way around the tube (see picture). How did you guys do it? And how much of a gap can I have? Thanks -- Rick Holland "Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers, that smell bad"

    Rick You could leave it like that and take a scrap piece of steel to fill the triangle ends. What I did though is kept working it in a vise while tapping on the rounded end with a hammer. It tightened up small enough to fill with welding rod Oxy/Acl.

    Rick, The lift strut end fitting is one of the most difficult fittings to make on the entire airplane. Attached is a PDF of a drawing from the Boredom Fighter plans. Go to the bottom of the drawing; it shows how to make a tool for making this bend. The tubing will have a tendency to burn away when you attemp to weld it. To prevent this leave excess length on the tubing while welding. It may also help to insert a loose fitting bolt into the tubing to act as a heat sink. Greg Cardinal P.S. I would also like to respectfully recommend that you polish the edges of your sheet stock prior to bending. It will prevent cracks later on.
