I am building a standard width, long "improved" Piet. The sup. Plans don't have
measurements for the width of the joined fuselage sides, in particular, the
empennage. What has everyone else done?

I used the width from the short fuse plan. Also, in setting up the bridge
decks, I used the dimensions from short fuse. That gave me extra room in
rear cockpit.

Regarding the swagging tool discussion: As a reminder, It's my understanding
that after we make our nicopress crimps, using a swagging tool, we measure the
crimped dimension of the nicopress using the proper gage. I recieved a little
gaging tool when I bought my $99 swagging tool from Aircraft Spruce. The
gage I recieved is similar to the gage shown in the Tony Bingalis book.

This is the same we used on 6 airplanes. It is adjustable. You can buy it
locally (Tractor Supply) if you have one nearby. My suggestion is to buy a
GO/NO-GO gauge fron A/Spruce and adjust the pinch to the correct setting, a
very simple adjustment.

Tractor Supply? If I have one nearby? They know me by first name! :-)
This is just what I needed to know.
Thanks to everyone for all the very helpful input. I'm a lot more
comforable with the idea now...
I really appreciate everyone's help...

I just used the dimensions on the original plans at each station.
Seemed to work out fine

I was reading in one of my magazines that if you know a builder in Oklahoma, then
you don't need to buy one for your airplane.
Let me know when you buy the tool and get it figured out for the perfect clamp
pressure. Then put me first on the listto borrow it since I won't need my own!
You got that part covered
John
Bout time you got back in the game
Hope all is well with you on the ranch!

Hey, if you know a builder in Oklahoma.....tell me who it is!!! :-) Actually,
I spent some time this weekend bolting the wings on and using a laser level thingy
to level up the wings. I put an inch of dihedral and an inch of washout
in...i may increase the washout a bit...maybe not.
If nothing else, it just looks really cool to have the wings on.
How are things on the ranch? Hey, we get 5-6 nice fresh eggs every day...life
is good!
JM
