We echo Oscar and Chuck's thoughts on this website. The pictures are worth a
zillion words! No Piet builder should be without it!

Thanks for all your comments on the website. Not having any other builders
near by I have had to rely on the others to post pictures of their planes so
I know how important they are.
Now, all you builders and flyer of Pietenpol's, and even you Grega guys,
send me your pictures and I will add them to the site as time allows, I am
after all trying to build an airplane you know.

One more thing about the website. Recently I added some pictures of the
second Pietenpol I have ever seen.
(Caution lots of thumbnail pictures and may load slow on dial-up)
http://westcoastpiet.com/new_page_24.htm
At first glance, due to the location of the landing gear, it looks like a
Grega but it is not. It's a Piet. The builders used gear legs from a Tri
Pacer turned around backwards and shortened. This necessitated the
relocation of the rear landing gear mount. I think the wing struts are also
from a Tri Pacer. They also rounded off the nose of the airfoil because an
aerodynamicist friend told them it would stall better. They said it flew
quite nicely. but have only 20hr on the plane so no details on the
performance.
http://westcoastpiet.com/images/O'Hara-Howe/IMG_3042.JPG
They raised the wing a couple of inches which caused the angles of the lower
strut attachment fittings to be off. As the plane was finished and covered
before they discovered this they had to make up these metal wedges to
compensate.
http://westcoastpiet.com/images/O'Hara-Howe/IMG_3032.JPG
I think it's a common mod to raise the wing a couple of inches so watch out
for this if you still building.
One of the things I thought was a good idea was this brace under the rudder
bar .
http://westcoastpiet.com/images/O'Hara-Howe/IMG_3105.JPG
It is topped with some plastic so it slides easily. There is one on both
side and really makes it feel nice an stable, no wobble at all. It also has
a block on top to act as a rudder stop.
In one of the pictures you will see a black tile, it's from the Space
Shuttle. I guess it's there to remind them about the glide ration if you
loose your engine. They also have a piece of spruce from the Spruce Goose
but I cant remember where it's located.
They also have this on the front of the cowling,
http://westcoastpiet.com/images/O'Hara-Howe/IMG_3048.JPG
and it struck me as quite appropriate for a Piet.
