That wouldn't be this one, would it?
Clif
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes, that's the one Clif. It had cockpit coevers on so I couldn't see the interior
and my camera battery failed just then (of course) so I couldn't take pictures.
Havn't met Terri, but I think the placard said it was completed in 2005. I noticed
it has a tow-hook for hand-propping (I assume). Nice plane!!

Did you feel 1 1/2" was enough or would you do more. I just got my wood (wooo hoo)
and I can't wait to start building.

Are you going to Brodhead or OSH? If so, you can sit in my new plane and see
if you like the way I spaced it out and the larger leg hole openings.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Reclining the seat back
I am assuming you recline the seat by repositioning the struts in the
fuselage sides, is this correct?

You will need the long fuse if using the Corvair or Cont. engine. My main
complaint in building the short fuse was that after a couple of hours of
flying my lower back gets real sore from the angle of the seat back to the
seat bottom. On my new long fuse, I reclined the seat back 1 1/2" at the
top and flattened out the seat bottom. Also, I went with the dimensions for
the short fuse in building the bridge decks between cockpits and the forward
cockpit. The result is that I have an additional 9 1/2" in the rear
cockpit. Width has not been an issue for me. I am 5'10" - 200lb. If you
are located near MPLS, MN. you can come over and sit in both and see what
you think.

Terri bought it from someone else and, of course, I can't remember who.
This pic will enlarge greatly and still retain reasonable sharpness to
see instrument layout. Pretty skinny cockpit if I remember right.
But then I can't even remember Hugh. :-)
