Neat little airplane. I notice that they brag about being able to remove the
wings in five minutes.
Shoot, I bet I could get the wings off in 5 milliseconds -- with a 7-G
pull-up!
Okay -- so I'm twisted, but then I'm building my own airplane, so what does
that tell you.... ; )

Gus,
The cg should fall between 15 and 20 inches aft of the wing leading
edge.

mo...
I have acquired a 5,000 sq ft space in which I am setting up with my machine shop, cnc router, special jigs and fixtures for different airplane parts. Are there any suppliers out there right now for piet motor mounts? I could make up a fixture for welding the mounts. My intention is to have it available for builders to come and build here, but for parts I may just build and ship. Or bring some to brodhead. Maybe even bring the jig to brodhead along with a gas torch, tubing and a way to cut the tubing and have a workshop set up. Just thinking out loud......Any thoughts on this subject? I know William used to do it, but I know he just doesn't have time for it anymore. I started a website www.wisconsinoutdoorproducts.com and will be adding to it as I go. Not in it for the big bucks, just looking for an excuse to have a nice shop and do something for the homebuilders.
I also took a part time job as a trucker delivering garage doors all over the
east coast, I go once a month for a week and have been having fun seeing the
country and stopping at aviation points of interest. I stopped recently at Barber
field and met Forrest...I think I was in your country Mike C.

About the motor mount I think I will find a mount for a A65 and just extend
it as needed.
Any luck with that IDEA?
Gus,
It would be extremely unlikely that you would find an engine mount that didn't
need extensive modifications. Therefore, I think the best solution, after some
very careful weight & balance calculations, is to determine exactly where
the engine should be in relation to the firewall, and build the engine mount from
scratch. It would necessitate the construction of an engine mount jig, but
you will end up with much better results.

Chuck, Must have been the GoodYear boys from Akron. That thing is down this way
alot in the spring/ summer. I have "commenced attack" on it a couple times
in a Champ, but not yet with the Pietenpol Intercepter/ TP Bomber. Also if you
stop in here don't forget your post flight thirst, the fridge in the hanger
rarely runs dry of beer.

I'm glad you like my site.
I stopped at Union Co. Airport for a visit with my sister. I think they have
some pictures of Gene Soucey there on the wall. When I took Sis for a flight,
there was a Blimp doing some flights in the area, and was using a small field
a couple of miles from the airport. We circled above the Blimp about 4 or 5
times when it landed...Smoke On of course !! They have about 20 or 30 people
standing in a formation on the ground, to grab hold of the ropes hanging down
from the Blimp, as it comes in to land. Quite an operation !!
I'll be sure to stop at your home field, if I'm ever in that area. Nothing I
like better than talking Pietenpols and Tailwinds !!
I gotta make Brodhead '07 this year. Upon departure, I'm flying cover for my
buddy and his wife on their Harley, en route to Sturges.

Well, Quick and easy for you maybe, confusing for me!
I cut the first wood today and would like to continue that process. I am out
of the country all next week beginning tomorrow. I would like to put together
a plywood order, however from all that I have seen and read there all types of
plywood types, grades, types and sized, all of which add to the confusion.
Can someone please provide me with a basic plywood order list by size grade
and type Ill need to get to a completed project, in the quantities sizes and
type I should be ordering. I really have no desire to waste anymore time waiting
for materials so I can order on line Monday and hopefully have the stuff I
need by the time I get back on Friday, or at least have it in transit.
Naturally if there is anything I can use from home depot please advise me by
type thickness and quantity. I am all for going out to get what I need but
those things I cant pick up I want to get moving ASAP.
I appreciate any and all assistance offered and given, please be as specific
as possible and if you can tell me what each size is going to be used for. I
have a full set of prints but the variety seems so great I would like to know
what the best and most available choices and selections are
Thanks
John

As near as I can remember I used,
1 sheet of 1/8-inch for the fuselage sides (make sure you can get it out
of one sheet)
1/2 of a sheet of 1/4-inch for the floor (2 feet x 8 feet)
1 sheet of 1/8-inch for the seat backs, head rest, inst panels and
gussets for fuselage
1 sheet 1/8 inch for tail gussets and firewall, but there is a lot left
over.
All Aircraft grade Mahogany from Aircraft Spruce.
Don't know what else you will need
