Skip, group,
The yellow 'Piet' was a mish-mash of most everything except Pietenpol.
Actually nothing was Pietenpol that I could
see. The only thing close was the fuselage and that was all GN-1. The
airplane was a lead sled with more crap and weight
than you could imagine. It looked pretty but other than that you had
to have two very skinny people in there for it to
clear the soybean field at the north end of the runway there. A young
couple from IN flew it in and I spoke with him
briefly. He told me that the owner/builder never has flown it but lets
this younger guy fly it quite often.
Mike C.

One thing to watch out for,(at least as a general rule in aircraft sheetmet
al practices)-Do Not counter sink as far as to "knife edge" the hole.-
In other words, Make sure the depth of the counter sink doesn't go completl
y through the thickness of the hinge.- It will wear out the holes and can
cause cracks, and leaves the material connection-weak espesially in tens
ion.- Dont worry too much about having the screws flush with the pianno h
inge, the bolt heads on the aileron horn stick out any way.-

hole. In other words, Make sure the depth of the counter sink doesn't
go completly through the thickness of the hinge. It will wear out the

espesially in tension. Dont worry too much about having the screws
flush with the pianno hinge, the bolt heads on the aileron horn stick
out any way.
