Ken and Dick,
I just looked at the Fisher site. Today they offer PLANS ONLY for all models,
and moreover, they have pricing for only a few models that they show, as well.
That 7/8 scale wooden Tiger Moth is available in plans, though, and looks
really cool. There's not a "Piet builders board" equivalent for it, though,
I'll bet-- a major asset for us Pieters.
It looks like they are tyring to return to strong builder roots, and I for
one hope Fisher completes its plans to make both plans and kits available. My
local (Austin) EAA chapter has one bloke building a Skybolt, another a Cozy on
a very long-term build, and my halting Piet efforts. ALL the others are RVs--
14,400 rivets. What's the fun in that?

Maybe I looked at an old website for Fisher. Other data show they do have kits,
esp. the Tiger Moth. Google it.

Hi Guys,
I've always wanted a Falcon prop for my Piet. I finally found one that I like.
It sounds kind of stupid but I'm putting it on the plane for sentimental/nostalgic
reasons. Anyway I have to clear out the props that I have. They are both
for an A-65 Continental. One is a Hegy 72 x 44. It has about 140 hours on
it and is in nice shape. It performed really well on my plane. The other is
a Sterba 76 x 38. This size was decided on after talking with several prop
carvers. I really like it's performance. It is about 6 months old. It has about
45 hours on it. I've really enjoyed trying different props on my plane,
but I want to put the Falcon on for those strange sentimental/nostalgic reasons.
Anyway I'd like to get $325 out of the Hegy and $500 out of the Sterba. I'm
going to put them on ebay but I thought it would be cool if they went on a
Piet. If anyone is interested they can email me at
EmchAir@aol.com
or call me at (330) 429-5265
If you hurry and you're close by you can go for a ride behind the Sterba because
it's still on the plane!

Members of the list:
I am in search of an aluminum filler neck for my fuel tank. I have found a few
abut need one with some height and a threaded fuel cap. Anyone in Pietenpol
land have a supplier for this aluminum filler neck for my gas tank under construction?
Also, are most using the cork type visual wire fuel indicator or the
mechanical gage?

| Subject: | Leading edge sheet issue, and getting ready to solo! |
Per the plans it can be 1/16 ply or cardboard, I read about oatmeal cans
being used, so clearly it isn't structural. I bought 45degree ply on the
advice of an EAA senior member. Trying to use it seems impossible. It
just won't conform and wants to warp and roll every way and doesn't
remotely look like the shape of the ribs when tacked down in place. I am
thinking I should have gone with 1/16 90 degree with the grain running
parallel with the wing. I have a few feet of that laying around and it
seems to conform and shape nicely. Another senior member and technical
advisor recomended using 1/32 for a number of reasons. I have some of
that as well from models and it conforms like a champ, but of course is
thinner, and I don't know how it would hold it's shape against fabric.
Other than that, my wings are ready to cover, and if the fuse can get
covered and the control system done over the winter then I am looking
good for a Piet summer.
Also, I am about a week out from doing my first solo as it looks. Man I
can't wait.
-Scott

1/16" 90 degree plywood with the grain running parallel to the wing is pretty much
the norm. It conforms fairly well to the airfoil. When glued down to the
ribs it does tend to bow up between the ribs. However once the wings are covered,
the fabric pulls that same bowed up plywood down slightly between the ribs
and gives the wing a nice smooth shape.
