Fuselage in boat stage, most metal fittings done, Center section done, Ribs done, All tail feathers done. Landing gear started,control stick mostly done. Excellent woodwork. Since I am one of the 6 Big Piet Builders, this project is for sale. Make me an offer. Barry Davis ----- Original Message ----- From: Ryan Michalkiewicz To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2007 2:18 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: GN-1 Roll call I am just wondering how may Grega fliers are on the list. What stage is your project in? What fuselage? What engine? Any other mods? Myself, I have ordered "Complete" plans from a "guy" in Oregon. We will see what arrives at my door if anything. I have been practicing my welds, I was getting a little worried, but I am feeling better about them. I have a Corvair core, ready for tear down. Thanks all, -Ryan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check out new cars at Yahoo!

Could this be a VW powered Ultra Piet? I don't think that it is Sky Scout.

From: "Cuy, Michael D. (GRC-RXD0)[ASRC]" Looks like Continental power (and has the matching sound) Scout with modified cabanes and landing gear configuration. (tripod cabanes) The wing, tail, and fuselage look fairly classic Piet for the most part. You can hear the guy power-up after he drops his flour. Mike C. Good video--neat story. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 01:09:58 PM PST US From: "Gordon Bowen" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: WING STRUTS You may want to know the "fabric punch", test data on these or any older Piper struts. Was an old AD on rust forming on the lower end of all Piper struts many years ago. The test for the AD was to use a fabric test punch to see if the lower side of the lower end of the struts were thinned due to rust on the inside of the strut. The AD also had a remedial action on all Piper struts that did pass the test, that included 1/8" drilling a hole in the struts near the top and putting in preservation oil, sloshing around the oil on the inside and then draining. The AD included this "punch test" must be done at all annual inspections of the plane. Had to do it on my old Piper Colt, until had to replace the struts. Secondly, struts aren't too hard to make with streamlined tubing and a good welder, then you know what you've got. You can get the measurements for size and design off of any ole struted Cub laying around in somebodies hanger.
