Jim,
Good article, not only does it makes good sense but sounds like a less
expensive alternative to conventional treatments.

I know that although its not part of the design and for purity sake probably
not a proper modification which undoubtedly will bring tears to the eyes of
the Piet purist, however. I know of no contortionist and therefor have to
consider the possibility of passenger access and egress!
Does anyone have a good structural design or drawing they would be willing to
share for a passenger door? I would prefer a tried and true design that is
designed to bolster the airframe rather than one that detracts from its
structural integrity, so good engineering is key.
I would appreciate hearing your thoughts and seeing any designs you the group
may have. I figure that at the build stage I am at now planning and
installing a door as part of the design is a lot easier and makes more sense than
trying to cut one in after the fact.
Thanks

Tim. I bought an elect. tach. from Wicks. It has a small generator that
requires a standard tach. mount thing. It looks more modern than I would
like, but life is full of compromise. Some of these tachs have a sensor
that you tie to a spark plug wire. Hows that for simplicity and not
having worry about routing a heavy drive cable? Also eliminates the
possibility (and expense) of up to 2 90 degree corner turner things.

It's a Corvar, right? Why not just visit your local auto parts shop and
pick out a tach? Or snoop around online and track down a spiffy vintage
reproduction tach? There are tons of them out there in a huge variety
of sizes and styles. Connects to power, ground and coil. At last,
that's how I connect them in my Corvairs...cars that is.

I put the Price door in my front cockpit. It requires a 1''X5''
reinforcement plank that you could not bend enough for the taper that
goes on threw the rear cockpit and continues to the tail post. (the
taper, not the plank). The door is kind of a front cockpit thing only.
Put on a step and learn to be a contortionest. Several years ago when
Chuck and Doug Bryant had a Piet flyin at Benton Ks (Wichita) a man flew
in with a Piet that had a right front door and a left door on the rear
cockpit. It also had a Toyota engine. He only stayed a short time and
left before I got to look at it. A year or so later the engine stopped
on take off and he made a hard landing that destroyed the plane and put
him in hospital for a long time. Leon S.

That's an understatement, based on the PolyFiber manual materials list to
cover a J3 Cub (which would require maybe 10% more stuff than that for a
Piet) and based on 2005 prices the cost comes to:
Polyfiber Medium Fabric and Tape/Rings - $889
Paint (using polytone, the 'cheaper' stuff) - $2473
Total - $3362
(and 2007 prices are higher than this, e.g. PolyTak was $68 when I last
added this up and its $86.80 now on the ACS wesite)
versus -
ACS homebuilders special 1.8 oz fabric & polyfiber tape - $600
1 gal. polytak - $87
3 gal. ext. latex gloss - $100
Total (very approximate) - $787

| Subject: | Re: Tachometer - where do you find one |
WW recommends not wiring a tach to the coil as a short can kill the
ignition. However Mark Langford hooks up his Grand Rapids this way and adds
resistors to prevent a short (correct me if I am wrong guys, see Mark's
website). Also only one of the two coils is connected so it would only
shutdown one of the coils. WW uses a sensor that reads the teeth on the
starter ring gear instead. Still debating which way I will go, really like
the Grand Rapids EMS, does anyone know if it's tach input can be wired to a
ring gear tooth sensor?

Ryan,
As I recall, on the upper surface there are a few of the dimensions that
just don't fit on the curve. The best way to deal with this is to take
a long piece of wood, I used a cap strip, and use it to form a curve by
holding on to both ends. Try to get it to line up with as many of the
points as possible. Don't stress over missed points as this is one of
the times where close is good enough. This airfoil is not supper
critical to errors like a laminar flow airfoil. Remember, the finished
wing will have some fabric sagging between the ribs thus changing the
airfoil thickness. This is totally natural and occurs on many fabric
covered airplanes and is part of the design of the wing. There are no
supplemental plans or correction sheets on this.

You are not going nuts, except from frustration. Everyone has this problem. There
is no official revision sheet, and no unofficial one, either, for instance,
showing which parts need to be made longer or bolt-holes moved to allow better
alignment or assembly.
I have seen at least one corrected plot on a "Glider & Flying" reprint, but cannot
lay my hands on it right now. Perhaps someone else can point out the one
or two errors in the upper surface of the airfoil. I believe the full scale drawing
corrects this/these.

When I recieved my plans , I got a full sized rib print. This is the one

My Piet flies great with this wing.
Didn't you guys get this??
And as far as the metal fittings,,,just make them 1/4" longer , to stick
out of the layers of fabric, so you can hook a fitting to it.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Just a few quick rib questions
Hello everyone;
Just a few quick rib questions. First, let me say I took the
advice of the list and threw out my full size rib print and am manually
laying out my jig, thank you. I have not recived my full plans yet and
I am working out of my builders manual, page 30. I have started with the
"chord line" as illustrated, and plotted out the bottom side of the rib.
I am confused whether the top mesurements are from the top of the rib to
the chord line, or only to the bottom of the rib?
Second, what are the first and last mesurements on the
underside of the rib? There are arrows only, with no mesurements.
Third, what is the lower mesurement opposite "4 1/2", 18" from
the rear. it is between 7/32"and 1/16"
Thank you,
Ryan

I didn't really throw it out, I still take a look at it every so often
to confuse myself. Seriously though, It contains details that the drawing doesn't
show. There is an 1/8" difference in the amount of upward curve between the
drawing and the plans. From what I've read here in the archives, there is not
a noticeable difference in the way they fly.

I remember after I covered and stitched my wing there were slight flat spots on
the ribs from the covering pulling them in. I thought "oh no!", but it flies
and probably doesn't know the difference! Like Chris said this is an area that
you want to be as close as you can, and that's good enough.

Sorry to answer your question with another question but have you read the
archive threads and BPA newsletter article concerning the Riblett 612
airfoil for the Pietenpol? If I was were you are in the building process I
would order the excellent full size 612 airfoil plans from Roman ($10) or
get the coordinates from Bill Rewey for a couple bucks. Just an interesting
alternative.
