Dick:
Check out ebay right now item number: 230061439673
A heck of a deal on a VJ22 fuselage on the gear in Durham NC
Should be fairly easy transport, even if you have to tow it by the tail
spring.
and no ones bid on it yet
I know of at least one flying with a corvair engine so it could be
finished for a reasonable figure.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Ribs continued
Thanks all to the rib question. Work on my 2nd Piet is winding down
and I don't have any projects left that I can work on here at home now.
The wings are getting the finishing touches before covering and
controlls are hooked up. I was thinking of building a boat next but
then got to thinking of a flying boat. So I have decided to build a
Volmer VJ 22 next. I need something enclosed to fly in the winter
months. You can also put skiis on the VJ22. The only problem is the
list for Volmer builders is not very active and not so good for support
and the plans are massive. Slicing up wing cap strips and building wing
ribs is a good project for long Minnesota nights. Only 8 hrs of daylight
now.
Western Red Cedar is very common here and I've got a bunch in the shop
anyway. White cedar is used a lot in boatbuilding for planking. Red it
is.

Hi Ben..One tip most builders will give you on wing ribs is to use only
one rib jig. If you build two and there's even a small variation between
them you will have two different sets of ribs. Use the extra time that
you would need to build the extra jig to build a few ribs. Build one rib
per day. At first it seems like you will never get done but at the end
of a month, Viola, you have a finished stack of ribs. Then, keep your
rib jig. If you ever break a rib you will be able to make an exact
replacement. My second tip is read Tony Bingelis' section on wood wing
ribs in "The Sportplane Builder" . Take your time and enjoy it. Ed G.

Hi Group and Gene,
I just wanted to send my congradulations to Gene also on getting his
airworthniess certificate out of the way! I would like to let everyone
know that possibly next week or so I will be starting my wing ribs down
in my basement. I was wondering if anyone might have few tips for me?
The glue I am using is FASCO #110. its the paste version in case some of
you don't anything about it! I plan on setting up 2 jigs! This will keep
me busy while the waiting game rolls on for robb to get his garage
heated. the temp in my basement is at least 50 degrees or so. I will be
updating our progress at my website

Michael;
You may have to try US Postal Service mail to Todd Miller to get yourself
some valve covers, but I'm sure he's still in the business. When I got mine
he also had some "seconds" that had casting flaws, at reduced cost.
FWIW, using "People Search" whitepages, I got a different phone number for
Todd that you might try: (641) 228-5682

Congratulations Gene!! On ribs, use the Arrow JT-21 stapler. I prefurred
Sears stapels. they had a sharp point. The Arrow stapels had more of a
chissel point. After stapling gussets on one side, I found that I could
pop the rib out of the jig, flip it and staple gussets on the other
side. I found no need for the rib to cure in the jig.before removing it.
It didn't deform. I made 3 ribs in one day back then. Staples can be
removed with a stake knife . Make an extra rib to hang on the wall of
your hangar..or garage..or your bedroom, in full view above the head
board just in case you need to spice things up a little. The ribs are
not a drudgery at all. I found them quite fun. Leon S. In Ks. Longing

You can also use an ordinary office stapler. You don't even have to bang on
it. Just open the stapler all the way 180 degrees or better yet remove the
base. Then place the stapler right down on the gusset and press the staple
in. Believe or not it also works pushing the staple through 1/8" birch
plywood for the fuselage gussets.
Also it's not necessary to remove the staples. their only function is to
hold the gusset in place until the glue sets.
Then when the part is varnished the staple will not rust.

Wondering what everyone is doing for cold weather flying head gear?
How did you make it or where did you buy it and how good (or bad) would
you rate it? Last weekend was down into the 30's and it was a little
cool on my head ( my windscreen is too short or my body is too tall).
If you made your own head gear, how about some photos and instructions
on how you did it? Can you use a head set with it?
When I owned an Avid I followed the Avid list and thought it was great.

I have considered putting a bubble on for protection.One that can slide
back and forth but I feel it would detract from the old time looks of
the plane.It would allow for all weather flight.I will be putting a
piece of lexan over the hole for the front cockpit;painting it down both
sides and leaving the middle unpainted so I can see the instruments,with
a quick connect on it for the battery hook up for charge etc.Even that
bothers me somewhat because it will detract from it's old time looks.My
AME assures me it won't look too bad and it will stop the wind somewhat
from coming in at my legs.Still mulling over things.

Ain't got that frosty problem here in sunny FL, but recently bought via
Airspruce a leather fitted retro look Red Baron cap that incorporates the
Dave Clarks. Works great. They make one with a fleece lining. Was $70
for the unlined and $75 for the lined version. Use retro-goggles from
Harley Davidson dealer-$35, leather flight jacket complete the get-up. At
4000' gets kinda nippy on colder mornings but not 30F. Good luck with
staying thawed, or wait it out until spring and there's always the sunny
south for the winter. Sure don't miss AK this time of year.

Gordon,
Spent most of my life in Alaska (1960 to 1985 full time and up until this
year half time as a captain for Alaska Clean Seas in the Arctic.) so I'm use
to being out in the cold but this humidity in the south is killling me. I
have looked at the hats in Airspruce but don't own a set of David Clarks and
don't want to spend the money to get a set. I was hoping someone may have
made a helmet and still had the pattern. I agree on the motor cycle
goggles. They look great!
Thanks

I wear a plain leather helmet (not fleece lined) and a thin
ski/snowmobiling mask under the helmet. The lower portion of the mask
can be stretched down below my chin, or pulled up over my nose so
everything but my eyes are covered, and my goggles take care of that.
When I was getting ready to fly my Piet from Indiana to Texas in the
winter, I started looking for wool clothes on Ebay. I found a bunch
of new heavy wool surplus army shirts selling for $3 or so. They itch
like crazy so you have to have something under them, but they are
really warm! I only bought one, and I wear it all the time, in the
Piet or just working out in the cold. I intend to buy 4-5 more as
soon as I take the time to find them on Ebay. For $6 or so shipped,
you can beat them.

Ben,
I'm building an Aircamper here in Maine. Just starting with ribs this
winter.
Be careful with "paste-type" epoxies. You'll want the glue to flow into the
joint. Also, the pot life on the Fasco is pretty short.

Group,
so once everything has dried I can remove the staples? this is good info I am
getting. So I understand this Once the gussets are stapled in place I can go ahead
and remove the rib from jig and do another? I'm just checking to make sure
I understand. Does hurt anything If I leave the staples in?
Brain likes good info.
take care,
Ben

Congratulations Gene!! On ribs, use the Arrow JT-21 stapler. I prefurred
Sears stapels. they had a sharp point. The Arrow stapels had more of a
chissel point. After stapling gussets on one side, I found that I could
pop the rib out of the jig, flip it and staple gussets on the other
side. I found no need for the rib to cure in the jig.before removing it.
It didn't deform. I made 3 ribs in one day back then. Staples can be
removed with a stake knife . Make an extra rib to hang on the wall of
your hangar..or garage..or your bedroom, in full view above the head
board just in case you need to spice things up a little. The ribs are
not a drudgery at all. I found them quite fun. Leon S. In Ks. Longing

Ben,
One great tip Mike Cuy gave me years ago: Put "cling"-type wrap down over
your jig before each you start each rib.This keeps the rib from sticking to
the jig, and the wrap peels right off the rib itself...even after the glue is
dry. Works super good. I got industrial sized roll at Sam's club, like they
use at deli or cafeterias.

Very nice job! Green is great. Talk to as many Pietenpol/GN-1 pilots as you can
about flying it before you actually do, no sweat though!
Good Luck!

I tend to like things the easy way. I bought a reject 36"x80 hollow core
door from Menards for $5. I traced lines for 4 ribs at a time on one side
of the door. After I was done building ribe, I laid out the tail section on
the other side.
For ribs, I laid wax paper under all glue areas. To start with, I used a
stapler, but pulling staples is a pain. I bought a box of thumb tacks with
the plastic ends. Easy to put in and easy to take out. This is assuming
you are using T-88 and don't need the pressure that Recorsinol requires. As
far as small inconsistancies from 4 moulds, I clamp them all together in
the end and run the belt sander over the whole lot.

I wear a WWII leather helmet I bought on ebay and goggles from aircraft spruce.
I actually have 2 different helmets. One has a brow flap and the other doesn't.
Without the flap my forehead gets numb down into the forties. If you are
looking for one make sure it has that flap, it makes a huge difference. With
a few layers underneath, the good helmet, goggles and a thick lined leather
coat with a big flip up collar I'm good down into the low 30's. Flew off of the
snow a few days ago!

One good addition is a hat liner for a cowboy hat to go under your
helmet. You should be able to find them in a western wear store. They
are Thinsulate. I wore mine under the hunting hat, kept nice and warm.
Also, there are hand and foot warmer packs you can get, they are one
time use, about $1 pair.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Cold weather head gear
Wondering what everyone is doing for cold weather flying head gear?
How did you make it or where did you buy it and how good (or bad) would
you rate it? Last weekend was down into the 30's and it was a little
cool on my head ( my windscreen is too short or my body is too tall).
If you made your own head gear, how about some photos and instructions
on how you did it? Can you use a head set with it?
When I owned an Avid I followed the Avid list and thought it was
great. Doesn't hold a candle to this group. What a great bunch of
dreamers and doers! I'm proud to be a member.

Maybe Pat Panzerra will trade you his "Air Camper" ones from his beautiful

| Subject: | Ohio Pietenpol Fly-in |
I talked to Forrest Barber a few days ago about Barber Airport and the EAA chapter
hosting a Pietenpol Fly-in. He said it could be arranged for the Pietenpol
guys to have their own gathering but he suggested it may be better to piggyback
with another fly-in. In the past they have hosted the Taylorcraft Fly-in
(Barber Airport, which is in Alliance, Ohio is very rich in Taylorcraft history)
and the Ohio Aeronca Aviators Fly-in. These have been two separate fly-ins,
however this year they are combining them into one. Forrest suggested we make
it the Taylorcraft/Aeronca/Pietenpol Fly-in. By doing this we can count on
the EAA chapter's breakfast on Saturday and Sunday and the Friday evening meal.
The dates they have set for the fly-in are the weekend of July 6,7, and 8,
2007. I know it is a way off but maybe mark it on the calendar. There are hotels
in Alliance and there is plenty of space for primitive camping on the field
for both aircraft and rv's. Frank Pavliga hangars his Sky Gypsy Pietenpol
there and I will have mine there. I'm sure with some arm twisting we could get
others. Mike Cuy and Will Graff aren't too far. Shad Bell is within an hour
and a half or so. It would be cool to have these guys because we could have
Ford, Corvair, and Continental represented. We could even try to organize some
type of forum/meeting if there is interest. Check out these websites;
