I'll second that. I'm certainly not that big but I still widened
my fuselage by two inches, much more comfortable to sit
in and make engine noises!
Here's a couple of pics of my mockup;

Would highly recommend building a mock cockpit out of scrap wood first
as discussed in the Bengelis books. Will answer all these questions and
you will learn a lot which will make your fuselage go together easier
with less mistakes. I ended up making mine two inches wider, leaned the
seat back two inches, and raised the turtle decks a couple also. Also
helps you figure the best places for controls, cables, and etc.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Rotec piet
As things are a bit slow on the list, here is an update on my new Piet.
The tail is finished with the special batch of Poly Tone that Stits made
for me. I wanted it to look like leather stretched over a lamp shade
and I am happy with the result, it is transluscent. I fit the wing
center section on last week with temp fittings. Yesterday, I built the
bellcrank assy and it will be installed this week. I am going with
external rigging on the bellcrank. The wings are almost ready for
covering, just some minor puttering left.
Rotec e-mailed me last week. They say there are 3 other Piets now under
construction. I know of 1 in N. Florida who is on the list here. Has
anyone heard of anyone else?
I'm still hoping mine is done for Brodhead.

I purchased the Piet wood set from ACS. Most people use 3/4" spars, build
the ribs to the plans and add 1/8" ply spacers to the spars at the rib
positions when building your wing. Possibly they don't include cap strip
because some people use 1/4" x 1/4". Yes no leading or trailing edge either.
Many people use cut down Home Depot stair railing for leading edges, I used
Douglas fir for mine and I ripped a single Douglas fir 1/x2 for both
trailing edges. May want to try Wicks as an alternative for ACS.

Tim,
The gap seals on the empenage may not be needed, and Bernard never used them.
However, theoretically, it will reduce drag, add a bit of redundency to the
hinges, and when taking off from some fields, may prevent any sticks or stones
from getting in the hinge area.
I chose to seal the gaps during the covering stage, using the dacron
material, prior to paint. I have some good pictures on my web site, as to how
I
sealed the gaps:

| Subject: | Re: Gap Seal Tape |
The answer to that depends on how wide the gap is. On the Piet I presently
fly, I neglected to route out the tail hinges, so there is a 1" gap. When I
installed the gap seals there was a major difference in the amount of effort
needed to lift the tail on take off run and the plane is now about 2 mph
faster. It's an easy test to try, just apply a strip of duct tape to the
underside to elevators.

Nice movie. That's a fun little dogleg in the trees as you head out. Must
be a one-way strip, judging by the departure and approach from the same end.
We had some good little one-way strips where I used to fly up in Oregon.
Thanks for sharing. The only thing missing was a smoke trail headed out
that little alley of trees ;o)

Don't leave the duct tape on there too long.It can be messy getting it
off later.I used tape that they used for the gaps on the Chinook
ultralight for my airlerones and vertical gap in my rudder but for the
elevator I used ceconite material.I wanted to see how each worked out.I
may land up later replacing the tape with ceconite from what I've been
told.With the tape, because it was sticky only on one side I did both
sides leaving enough tape for movement but with the ceconite ,because I
was gluing it on,I went from the top of the horizontal stab to the
bottom of the elevator.I'm not sure if there is a wrong way to do that
or not,like for instance taking it from the bottom of the horizontal
stab to the top of the elevator.Either way there is a situation there
that could cause eddy currents to materialize hindering flight.It might
if I was flying an F86 but so far from the way I did it I havn't noticed
any problems but then I'm not a test pilot although I did fly my plane
for the first time myself on her maiden fight.Couldn't find any test
pilots.

Oscar (and others),
Thanks for the comments. The strip is sort of one-way in that there
are a couple of reasons to land heading west and take off heading
east. There is a church, quickmart, and concentration of new housing
developments on the west end. There are cow pastures and other open
spaces to the east. Another consideration is that our hangar is on
the west end, so it's a lot easier to taxi out to that end for take
off and taxi in from landing the other other way.

Chuck,
YouTube is very easy to use. It's free to sign up at
http://www.youtube.com and I don't recall that they want any more
than a username and password from you. As to formats, sizes, etc.,
from their website:
* Videos are limited to 10 minutes (unless you're a
Director) and 100 MB.
* Videos saved with the following settings convert the best:
* MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format
* 320x240 resolution
* MP3 audio
* 30 frames per second framerate
Right now, I use Quicktime (.mov) and in Mac iMovies export at CD
quality, but apparently that's not the best format. YouTube is going
to convert (trim down) anyway, so I upload at as high a quality as
possible while staying within the 100 MB limit. Actually, the largest
I've uploaded was 18 MB.
I'm still getting used to the camera and haven't even tried real editing.
I'm also starting to play with Google movies, but I don't know if
it's any better than YouTube.
WARNING: You can spend a lot of time at YouTube. There' a lot there
and it's addictive!! :)

Tim,
only way your going to know for sure is to try it both ways. I like using
gap seal tape made out of vinyl. I buy mine from a sign company (it's what
they make letters out of and comes in many colors). I cuts strips, then
take the paper backing off half of the width of the strips and stick two
strips togeather. That way you end up with sticky side on both sides of
one/half of the width of the tape. Peel off one/half of the backing and
apply to the top, route the other half down thru the gap and fix to the
other side. Done. I've been able to find colors that will match my paint
and it really looks nice.

Gene,
I appreciate the kind comment. However, I do want to say that nothing, in
my mind, will take the place of the Piet. I have been captivated by the
plane for many years. I first saw it in an aviation publication, with the Model
A
engine and thought, "Wow, that is the coolest thing I have ever seen."
So I sent for the plans. When they arrived, I strolled out to my
workshop, about 100 feet from my house, to check them out for an hour or so. As
I
started my walk back to the house, I heard the sound of an aircraft, obviously
low and slow, over my head. I looked up (like I always do when any aircraft
flies by) and what do you think it was?Yes, a Pietenpol! To this day, that is
still the ONLY Piet I have ever seen "in person". So I sort of knew it was
meant to be that I chose this design.
And what a great bunch of fellow Piet fanatics to associate with. Good
mentors, fun to talk to and brimming with info to share. It doesn't get any
better.

Hi Fellow Piet'ers,
I have a question for everyone, what type of varnish is everyone using? What I
would like to know is also, why can't regular thompson wood sealer be used if
a person was going to apply 3 coats or so? thanks and just an update on my project
I will be meeting my dad out at Robb's place (building partner) to draw
the plans up to full scale tomorrow (11/20/06). I will also be putting a website
together to so where I am at with the project.
take care,
Ben

Ben;
Like Chuck Gantzer, I have used Ace spar varnish (from your Ace hardware
store) on wood repairs to NX41CC. It's quite thin so needs several coats
but I love the smell of the hangar after I varnish something so I don't
mind. I found that if you shake the can the varnish sometimes has tiny
bubbles when you apply it, but it's thin enough that the bubbles disappear
as it dries. Purists say "stirred, not shaken", but I'm too impatient so I
shake the can.

Those are great air-to-air shots. Looks like you guys had a severe
clear day! What were the temps?

Temps started in the 40s, at about 9AM, and ended up around 60* by
mid-afternoon. A little chilly in a Pietenpol, but still a great day for
flying.

Weird! Well I'll just have to go in and fix it.
I haven't updated the thing for a while, just
too busy, I've got a bunch more stuff to add
to a number of pages and a couple new ones
to create. Time! time! time!
Thanks for the compliments. You guys can
download those nasty cows if you want. I
made it for the rest of you Pieters.

Hey Steve,
I'm going to make it down there one of these days. I had to work this
weekend...kinda chilly for that flight anyways.
Great pictures !!
Is that a big long com antenna sticking down in front of the landing gear ?
