I haven't seen a Pietenpol at Sun-N-Fun the last few years, but have met
some of the builders in the wood-working tent. In 2005 they were
building a Piet there. Alan Weise's old Piet is in the museum there.

Alan came to our fly-in in October and he still looks well. He is over
80 years old I think. We have a picture of him in our chapter meeting
room throwing his leg over the side of his Piet in a way mty 52 year old
legs won't go. Maybe I should start working on my stretching exercises....
I heard he just decided it was time to stop flying. His plane has some
innovative ideas. I like the fenders that double as brakes. The brass
horn is a nice touch too.

That's really neat;it will clean the wheels at the same time.You can readily
see when the pads have to be changed and it looks like you can use old tires
for pads(very economical).The operating system is simplicity itself.I may
just change my whole brake system over to this type!

Subject: | Internet sighting of Duane Woolsey's Piet. |
While searching the internet for wing strut designs, I came across a picture
of the Subaru powered Pietenpol built by Duane Woolsey. Duane sold it the
same year Steve Eldridge and Duane few back to Brodhead from Utah (they also
went to that other little show up north). Go to http://www.s6s.org/ look for
his Update 05/06/06 link on the left, then scroll down to the bottom of the
page looking for his 05/06/06 entry, click on that then scroll down through
the pictures to find the Piet picture.
I seem to remember someone was asking about this plane some time ago. If
that was one of you, you could try emailing the guy who does this website.
Maybe he could put you in touch with the owner, which appears to be a Mr.
Bill Majors.
Hey Steve E., what ever happened to your write-up about your flight to
Brodhead? If you still have a have a copy of it, can I post it on my
website?

Subject: | Rans Aluminum Wing Strut Designs |
Anyone else notice that the Rans highwing planes use aluminum struts?
What I am trying to find out is, how are the ends of the struts done? I
found one picture (attached) of the lower end (from
http://www.justplanefrank.com) . It looks as though one bolt and three pull
rivets are used to hold an aluminum end. This design will not work as the
lower end but would work great on the upper end of a Piet strut. Larry
Williams appears to have used this approach on his aluminum strutted Piet
http://westcoastpiet.com/images/Larry%20Williams/Air_Venture_2003_trip_107.jpg.
Anyone have access to a Rans S6 or S7? What size struts are they and how are
the ends done.

here's how I did mine

I used 4130 on the lower ends because I threaded them for adjustable piper
cub forks. The upper ends are aluminum 2024 aluminum bar.

Chris,
It appears that those designs eliminate the capability to move the wing for
and aft.

Subject: | Re: Rans Aluminum Wing Strut Designs |
Chuck, your right. I guess I should be more clear. In my muddy water
of a mind I know what I'm talking about.
I'm not suggesting changing the strut design of the Piet. The Rans
struts come together at the front strut and mount to the fuselage at one
point. I'm not suggesting doing this at all. All I was looking at was
the square aluminum bar with the hole in it and how it was mounted into
the aluminum strut. If one was to use the aluminum strut on a Piet,
this would be a simple solution. As DJ seems to have used also, once
again it proves that if I can think of it someone has already thought of
it too. I didn't even think about the lower end using fork but now as I
look back in my notes I see Larry Williams did something as DJ just a
little different:
"For fittings, I got BIG terminals end and wieldable inserts, welded the
insert into a 3/4" square tube and slid it into the strut material where
it is cross-bolted in place. If I was to do it over, I'd just make some
sort of fork-like fittings and dispense with the adjustable feature.
Much cheaper and I have found no reason to adjust mine since
installation."
I'm no where near needing them just doing some thinking is all. Also, I
noticed the Rans jury struts are attached to the aluminum strut by way
of an AN eyebolt. They are bit hard to see in the attached photo but
that's what they look like to me.
