Subject: Pietenpol-List: Rib jigs, Wood and a Goal I've finally set a goal and am ready to get to work. After spending months learning and reading it's time to get to it. Goal: All the ribs done by spring. Since good ol' Minnesota winter is gonna kick in in a few weeks! I'm not looking at cranking out ribs in a hurry. What are thoughts on jigs? I've seen lots of nifty clamping style, etc. I'm perfectly good with doing one side and waiting a day or so to do the other. I don't need to crank 'em out assembly line style. Simple blocks over plans for positioning, and nailed or stapled gussets then no need for clamps? Handiest place to buy the wood for ribs? AS&S? Or are they way overpriced? At this point, planning on Riblett 612. Corvair power, since I have Corvair motor experience (in the cars) and already have the Wynne manual and many parts on hand. Thinking one piece wing for simplicity. Comments welcome. Also, hope everyone who wanted Waldo Pepper got one by now. It's entirely possible I missed someone along the way (my organizational skills aren't the best) so if you wanted one and I missed you, contact me off list. And for those of you (you know who you are) Thanks. Tim in Bovey ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 08:24:52 AM PST US From: "Ryan Mueller" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Rib jigs, Wood and a Goal Tim, There are many interesting ideas out there about how to build the jig, which have all worked for that particular builder. Having built one Pietenpol rib jig and now building the jig for the Riblett airfoil, my opinion on the matter is to make the jig as simple as possible to do the job correctly. I want spend more of my time building my airplane than building the "tooling" to build my airplane. Remember, Pietenpol was building his airplanes in a tiny little town in Minnesota in the '20s. This only requires as much rocket science as you make it require. http://www.eaa.org/video/homebuilders.html Click on the Wood tab, and there are a number of videos dealing with rib building to give you an idea. I think the way they show in the video is pretty simple. If you are using the Riblett I am assuming you have or will be getting the full size print from either Roman or Bill. Lay it out flat and double check the dimensions (spar center to spar center, etc) to make sure they are reasonably close (mine were just fine). Tape down the full size print. Cover it with plastic as recommended. Nail your blocks in place and start building. Initially I was going to not use nails/staples, and use weights instead. But after actually trying out the stapling method I've changed my mind. I picked up the cheapest plastic stapler they had at the store (one of the Easyshot "forward action" staplers for $10). If you just lightly lay the head of the staple gun against the wood when you shoot, the 1/4" staples do not penetrate all the way in. If you stop by an office supply store you can get a cheap ($3 - $4) staple remover that will make quick and easy work of taking them out without damaging the wood. It's fast, it's easy, and it works. You don't have to worry about how much weight to use, or about the gussets sliding around. You don't have to figure out a clamping method. The additional benefit of stapling is that you can pull the rib out of the jig as soon as you are done applying the gussets on one side. Flip it over and put gussets on the other side, and set the whole thing aside to dry. Although I know you aren't interested in speed, it gives you the option. Another upside is that you don't have to worry about the rib sticking to the jig by the time it dries. I bought my capstrip and ply from AS&S. I think getting it from Aircraft Spruce or Wicks is the most convenient method. There are those who like to find spruce of acceptable quality locally, grade the wood themselves, and rip it down to the dimensions they need. This is a way to do it, but I would rather just make a phone call and spend more time building. I can't speak for the rest of the wood to build the aircraft, but at least in regards to capstrip material Wicks is twice as expensive as Aircraft Spruce ($0.70 per foot vs $0.32 per foot). As far as building the one piece vs. the three piece wing, you can find plenty of discussions on this in the archive, and get feedback from those list members that have completed their own Piet to see what they think of it. I have chosen to build the three piece, and here is my reasoning why. A three piece wing will take up far less space in a workshop. You can deal with ~12.5 ft panels instead of a 28 ft wing. It will be easier to assemble. We will use Bill Rewey's 3 ft center section concept, which will give us plenty of room for fuel to feed the Corvair. Finally, if (god forbid) one wing is ever damaged for whatever reason, and the other is not, you don't have to wrangle a 28 ft wing off the airplane to repair it. Just fix the offending wing panel. With all of that being said, realize these are just my opinions. I formed them from talking with successful builders, spending far too much time reading the archives from this list, reading everything I could get my hands on, etc. But I have not yet completed a Piet. Take it for what it is worth. Emulate the builders' methods and ideas you like best that have resulted in safe flying aircraft to get yourself into the air in a timely fashion. Hope that helps.

Bill built his Piet with a 36" center section, and the circular cut-out to make entry easier. He says this allows for up to a 15 gallon fuel tank. We are using the Corvair as well, and that is the main impetus for wanting a little more fuel capacity. Bill's Piet has been flying for something like 14 years, so it works. Pics of his Piet are at: http://www.westcoastpiet.com/new_page_3.htm Bill sells a collection of building tips and info for $20, or you can purchase individual topics for $2 and a SASE. The center section info is one page, with hand sketches and drawings, text descriptions and notes. It's not quite a "plan sheet" like the Pietenpol plans, but it has all the information you need presented pretty clearly. Personally I would recommend just sending Bill a check for $20 and get the whole collection. There is all sorts of good information, ideas, and articles contained therein, in my opinion. He also includes a CD recording of his 2006 Oshkosh forum. I've attached a scan of the sheet Bill hands out at his forum. This lists all the topics in the packet, and has his address at the bottom. If you need any more info, or it doesn't come through just let me know. Hope that helps.

The external looks prettygood (in the pict ure) and should be getting some interior pics and answers to lots of other questions soon. I do like having the Continental motor. Do you happen to kn ow if the motor mount for a C65 will work with a C85 or 0200? I'd like to w ork towards the engine with a starter and more HP if possible.Answer:The mo tor mount for the A-65 and C85 series is the same in that conical rubber bu shings are used. As such=2C the overall dimensions from the engine mount l ugs on the engine to the prop flange shaft remain the same. The C-90-12=2C -14=2C 16 and O-200 have different mounts and the lugs are set further for ward on the engine case. These engines can be mounted on the A-65 mount bu t require about a 2" spacer to position the prop flange in the same locatio n as the A-65. the C-85-12 will be your best choice for a low-hassle insta llation. That's what I was able to find thus far. Maybe that will help give you an idea.RyanOn Thu=2C Aug 28=2C 2008 at 8:33 AM=2C Jonathan Ragle wrote:>> Do these all use the same engine mount?

I apologize for giving out wrong information on the size of cables and turnbuckles on 41CC. Wrong, wrong!!! I guess I didn't have my reading glasses on and it wasn't that light in the hangar, but checking everything again today, in the bright sunlight, confirmed that the wing strut cable braces, as well as the cabane X-braces, are 1/8" aircraft cable but the turnbuckle ends mike at 5/32". (Does that make them 10-32 thread?) The aileron, elevator, rudder, and tailwheel control cables are 3/32" cable. The tail brace wires are 1/16" cable. My earlier point is still valid: there are no turnbuckles on 41CC that have 1/4" thread turnbuckle ends; they are all smaller than that. Just to pay my penance for giving out wrong information, I started up the engine and made one circuit of the airfield. "One ping only, Vasily". There were dove hunters all around the fields since the whitewing dove season is open, so I didn't care to fly too low, and we were just coming off a TFR since the President and VP flew in to SA this afternoon, so I just went up and back. Wind was gusting from the NNE, somewhat of a x-wind, but we managed it and I do apologize for the misinformation.

John RecineNX895BP Reserved Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > ________________________________ Message 20 ____________________________________ Time: 06:45:54 PM PST US From: Oscar Zuniga Subject: Pietenpol-List: one-piece wing Air Camper NX41CC has the 3-piece wing setup with the Pietenpol plans 24" wide center section (not the 36" wide center section). I have had occasion to remove and reinstall the wings on 41CC and I can tell you two things about this: 1. It is quite easy to remove and reinstall one or both wing panels in a couple of hours if there are two, and preferably three, people on hand to help with it. Have tools, safety wire, cotter pins, a string and a level (or angle finder) and it's quite straightforward. The individual wing panels are clumsy but manageable. And the feeling is indescribable when the wings go onto the fuselage and it becomes an airplane! Absolutely the most delicious sensation, and tensioning all the brace wires and control wires are like an orchestra tuning up for a wonderful concert. One of the most memorable moments of the whole experience. 2. I cannot imagine handling a single-piece wing with fewer than four people or some very clever adjustable supports and jigs. It must be a very interesting operation for one person to handle, but we sent men to the moon using only slide-rules, pencil, paper, and protractors and the pulley is a marvellous invention that can be used by a clever builder to manage quite a bit on his or her own. If I were building a Piet from scratch I would not build the one-piece wing unless I were building in a hangar that I had all to myself, was retired from my job, and was not in a hurry. The other thing I can mention is that William Wynne's Corvair-powered Piet had a 17 gallon centersection fuel tank in its final configuration. He glassed in the entire center section and accommodated that amount of fuel, presumably with the conventional Pietenpol airfoil section... somehow. He incorporated a "fuel rail" down one side of the tank, with the fuel takeoff line at the aft end of the rail. With the reported fuel consumption of the Corvair being about 6 GPH, such a fuel capacity would give 2 hours range with a very decent reserve, and that's about as long as one wants to sit in a Piet on a cross-country. I have never sat in my Piet while flying off a complete tank of fuel down to the reserve, but came quite close once and do not care to repeat it without a good reason.

The complete Pietenpol-List FAQ including the Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Pietenpol-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator [ Note: This FAQ was designed to be displayed with a fixed width font such as Courier. Proportional fonts will cause display formatting errors. ] This FAQ can also be viewed in HTML online at the following address: http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm ************************************************************ ******* LIST POLICIES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ******* ************************************************************ PLEASE READ. This document contains Pietenpol-List policies and information for new and old subscribers. Understanding the Pietenpol-List policies will minimize problems for the Administrator, and will help keep the Pietenpol-List running smoothly for all of us. ****************************************** *** Quick Start Guide to List Features *** ****************************************** There are many features available on the Matronics Email Lists and each one is described in detailed below. However, using the List Navigator you can quickly access the complete set of features available for this List. The List Navigator can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pietenpol-List **************************************** *** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe *** **************************************** Simply go to the Web Page shown below and enter your email address and select the List(s) that you wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from. You may also use the handy "Find" function to determine the exact syntax of your email address as it is subscribed to the List. Please see the complete instructions at the top of the Web Page for more information. The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web page is: http://www.matronics.com/subscribe Note that you will receive TWO conformation emails regarding your subsciption process. The first verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request was received, and the second confirms that the process has been completed. You should receive the first email within a few minutes of your request. The second conformation will arrive in less than 24 hours. You cannot post until you receive the second conformation email message. ***************************** *** How to Post a Message *** ***************************** Send an email message to: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Your message will be redistributed to everyone currently subscribed to the List. ***************************************************** *** SPAM Fighter - You Must be Subscribed to Post *** ***************************************************** When a new post is received by the system, the From: line of the message is checked and compared against the current subscription list. If the email address is found, the message is passed on to the List Processor. If the email address isn't found in the current list of subscribers, it is dumped. This serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that gets posted to the Lists. Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address is very important with regard to the configuration of your email application such as Outlook or Eudora. For example, the following two email addresses may be functionally equivalent, but only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM test depending on which was syntax was subscribed to the given List: smith@machine.domain.com smith@domain.com Either email address syntax is alright, just be sure that you configure your email application to match *exactly* the address you've subscibed to the List. ************************************** *** Enclosure Support on the Lists *** ************************************** Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures, documents, and spreadsheets is supported on the Lists. There are a number of restrictions, and these are detailed below. Please abide by the rules put forth regarding the content of enclosures. These are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the Matronics Lists: 1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the Lists. 2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of the Lists. 3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site. 4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives. 5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature. 6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed: bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt xls All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to sender. The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security risk. 7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to posting to the List. This is done in real time and will not slow down the process of posting the message !! Here are some rules for posting enclosures. Failure to abide by these rules could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from the Lists. 1) Pay attention to what you are posting!! Make sure that the files you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB). Remember that there are still people checking they're email via dial up modem. If you post 30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these folks and the rest of us, for that matter. 2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000 pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less. Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically scale it down and resave it. This is a great utility - get it, use it! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Look for the link "Image Resizer" 3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Do not post anything that would be considered offensive by your grandmother. And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even questionable. !! 4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!! BE CAREFUL and BE COURTEOUS! Also see the section below on the Matronics Photo and File Share where you can have your files and photos posted on the Matronics web server for long time viewing and availability. ******************* *** Digest Mode *** ******************* Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started. This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended to the archive file.

In such a case, simply put the following phrase anywhere in the message: do not archive Your message will not be appended to the archive, but will be sent to List email distribution as normal. ********************************************** ***** READ THIS - Automatic Unsubscribes ***** ********************************************** Note that if your email address begins to cause problems such as bounced email, mailbox is filled, or any other errors, your address will be promptly removed from the List. If you discover that you are no longer receiving messages from the Pietenpol-List, go to the following Web page, and look for your email address and a possible reason for your removal. The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that automatically looks though the day's bounced email for addresses that caused problems due to common things like "user is unknown", "mailbox full", etc. If the Email Weasel removes your email address from the Lists you will find record of it at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/unsubscribed If the problem listed on the web site above has been resolved, please feel free to resubscribe to the Lists of your choice. ******************************* *** List Member Information *** ******************************* If you have not done so already, please email me your phone numbers and paper mail address in the following format: smith@somehost.com Joe Smith 123 Airport Lane Tower, CA 91234-1234 098-765-1234 w 123-456-7890 h Please forward this information to the following email address: requests@matronics.com I have a file of such things, that I typically use to contact you when there are problems with your email address.

In that case, simply prepare the text and any images and email it to: wiki-support@matronics.com One of the volunteers on that list will take your submission and construct a Wiki page for you. Often someone produces a particularly useful posting in email one one of the Lists that would be of general interest.

Every year during November I run a low-key, low-pressure "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month, I ask List members to make a Contribution in any amount with which they are comfortable. I will often offer free gifts with certain contribution levels during the Fund Raiser to increase the participation. The gifts are usually donated by companies that are themselves List members. Your Contributions go directly to supporting the operation of the Lists including the high-speed, business-class Internet connection, server system hardware and software upgrades, and to partially offset the many many hours I spend running, maintaining, upgrading, and developing the variety of services found here. Generally Contributions range from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary and non-compulsory. I ask only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains value from them, that they make a Contribution of equal magnitude. Contributions are accepted throughout the year, and if you've just subscribed, feel free to make a Contribution when you've settled in. The website for making SSL Secure Contributions is listed below. There are a variety of payment methods including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and sending a personal check. If you enjoy and value the List, won't you make a Contribution today to support its continued operation? http://www.matronics.com/contributions Thank you! Matt Dralle Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** Pietenpol-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Pietenpol-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the Pietenpol-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. Pietenpol-List Policy Statement The purpose of the Pietenpol-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. - Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by List members promoting their respective products or items for sale should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to everyone, including those who provide products to the entire community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists. ------- [This is an automated posting.] do not archive ________________________________ Message 23 ____________________________________ Time: 11:06:43 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: Pietenpol-List: Official Pietenpol-List Usage Guidelines Dear Listers, Please read over the Pietenpol-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete Pietenpol-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Pietenpol-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** Pietenpol-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Pietenpol-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the Pietenpol-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. Pietenpol-List Policy Statement The purpose of the Pietenpol-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. - Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by List members promoting their respective products or items for sale should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to everyone, including those who provide products to the entire community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists. ------- [This is an automated posting.] do not archive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
