Barbara,
Sorry to bother you again, but more questions on the two projects:
Where are you located and what's included in each of the projects, how
close are they to being completed. 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

Mike; If you want to see what the engine mount and FWF might look like, take
a look at Mike Ladigo's KR2 installation, here:

The engine would be way, WAY out there on the nose of the Piet but you could
mount one heck of a big smoke oil tank on the firewall ;o)

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

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.
