| Subject: | Re: 3 Piece Wing Plans |
Hi Glenn...Your last sentence is correct...Use the one piece wing
spacing except for the roor rib and scoot them minimally as needed to
clear the wires. I'm doing my 1st wing now and just learned something
the hard way. The trend according to the list is to align the lift strut
brackets on the wing to line up with the struts ( 28 degrees) instead of
Bernie's way, to eliminate some stresses. I saw that the British plans
which do this move the brackets out 3" but never guessed why. I wanted
my lift struts to the plans so I put them in at 28 degrees with the eye
in the origional position. When I went to put my ribs on,the bracket
interfered with rib # 8. I had to move it outboard 15/16" and then do
some creative spacing on all the other ribs. Hope you can follow all
this. If I had to do it again I would move the bracket outboard like in
the Britt's plans. Hope this helps you and anyone else planning to
change the brackets....Ed G.

Distances between ribs are only shown on the 1 piece wing plans. Have
3 piece wing builders just scooted the first rib from the root in
changing position from 11" between the first 2 ribs to 9" keeping the
other measurements of the 1 pc wing? ...or does that cause interference
with the drag and anti-drag wires? ...or do you just move them to
positions that are close to the measurements for 1 pc wing and slide to
a place to eliminate interference, record the spacing and repeat
symetrically on the other side? Not ready to do this yet, just planning
it out.
Thanks

Mike; I've looked at grandma's feather bed, the frame, and everything else
under and around it. Even took the mattress off and checked everything I
could think of but I can't seem to find the bungees anywhere on it, nor can
I find any way to adjust the inflation. Can you help?
PS- I would take it as a compliment if somebody told me that they put on my
video but turned down the sound and put on George Strait instead. George is
from right here in south Texas, you know ;o) Just get his "50 Number Ones"
double CD and you're all set... even if all your exes don't live in Texas.

That's exactly what I was wondering about. I wasn't sure if I needed to create
a couple ribs with openings that accomodate the plywood reinforcement and bracket
at the lift strut bracket or if that misses the rib. Then I got into the
whole spacing issue to figure out where the ribs land on the 3 piece wing and
realized that there are no given measurements. I can see that the ribs on the
outside of the center section and the ribs for the cabanes will need larger
openings for hardware, didn't know if that was the case for the lift strut attach
area ribs.

Howdy, 'polers;
Over the weekend I received a calendar from the Lee Bottom Flying Field
folks. Really sound like "our kind" of people. I am either dreaming or at
some time in the past I was subscribed to their e-newsletter, the "NORDO
News", but can't remember ever receiving it.
Any of you Pietenpolers ever make it to their fly-in in September, in
Indiana? I know at least two of you must have in the past because in the
photo featured on the calendar, a DC-3 is shown touching down on the grass
runway and there is a Piet clearly visible in the background, along the
flight line. It appears to be the "Last Original" or one just like it.
Also in their photos online, there is a Piet shown in one of the photos.
Anybody that loves tailwheels, grass strips, and old airplanes as much as
these folks, can't be all that bad!

The Piet is probably Jim Kinsella's beautiful ship, I know he really likes to go
to that Fly-in. Supposed to be one of the better ones.
