Subject: | Re: wing tip bows |
So just what is it about this Pietenpol Airyplane anyway?
For some of us it's a "piece of history from 1932 time machine"
and others a starting point from which to hare off from in all
mannner of directions.
I find it all thought provoking, entertaining and sometimes
just downright hilarious.
I love it! Thank you all!

TIME OUT EVERYONE!! If, somehow, I'm misunderstanding all of this and
this is just good humor among friends, then I apologize to all for

Hi Michael Please don't take this the wrong way=2C I'm only trying to be
of help. I don't know anything about you or your level of woodworking skill
s. But "IF" your reason for wanting to use a straight piece of wood for you
r wing tip bows is that you are intimidated by the process of laminating th
e curved ones I will be glad to snail mail you detailed drawings and direct
ions on how it's done. You're welcome to e-mail me off list if you want. Th
ey are easy=2C almost fun to make and very rewarding.
A straight line between the nose and tip of a rib is way down near the bo
ttom edge. The spars would need to be cut to match them. As a compression s
trut they would be way off center causing the spars to twist under load unl
ess you added an upper strut and the drag wires' geometry would have an upw
ard component unless they were moved to the center of the spar somehow.
If that is not your reason then please make them however you want. Ed Gr
entzer Fl.

Sorry Walt=2C I will build my plane the way I want to. Sorry you interpret
my questions as a negative.
For the others=2C thanks or the posts and the link to those great pictures.
I was not thinking of a flat boeard as the pictures show=2C I was going to
use a tip=2C just not curved. We'll see=2C not quite there yet. --- On Fri

Good for you Ed G.!
Build to the plans.
PS This isn't a "what can I change on the plans"=2C site.

One of the many things I have learned while building my Piet over the last
eight years is that the master has already figuered out most of the "what
ifs" for us. That's why we bought his plans. Yes=2C somethings need to be c
hanged to work in todays airport environment=2C BUT. Everything that I have
changed has added extra planning and changeing at least one something else
to work with the change which requires more planning and experimenting whi
ch adds exponentially to the build time. So=2C I have learned that at least
with my limited time to devote to my Piet=2C If I ever plan to fly the thi
ng=2C I had better quit "Changeing" and "Planning" and keep building. It's
amazing how much progress can be made when just building to the plans.

Well said Mike, I am more the type C. If I wanted to get in the air as soon
as possible in a Piet I would have bought a completed one and saved a bunch
of money. I am in it more for the learning experience and the chance to
communicate with bright and motivated people like the people on this
group , and at Broadhead, and Oshkosh.

For the purists,there isn't any such thing.To use the original model A engi
ne as used back in the day you would be changing leathers on a constant bas
is.Today we use different materials which don't wear out as fast.That's jus
t one point.There are many others to point to.Bernard was anything but a pu
rist,that's why you have the designs you have today.Remember he started wit
h a Jenny.If he was a purist then we would be flying Jenny's instead of Pie
tenpols,GN-1 Aircampers,etc.,etc.For the purist ,I commend you on getting c
lose.Your planes are beautiful and crowd pleasers.I love the sound of the o
ld model A as I do the sound of Prat and Whitney's.I look forward to the da
y when someone with deep pockets builds a composite Pietenpol,sacrilege you
say,not really.It would both strong and light and different.It would be ne
at to see.How bout that for an engineering challenge?!I throw it out to you
builders.By the way I am-not a builder.I am a buyer and a flyer.I
wish I could do the things you guys and gals do.I built a bird house once
and even the birds wouldn't go in it.I finished off a GN-1 Aircamper that h
ad been in production since 1977 but not without the help of a lot of real
handy people including a couple of AME's.Keep the midnight oil burning out
there and the wood chips flying if not for yourselves then for guys like me
who really enjoy your work!Unfortunately the man who started my plane is l
ong since dead but his son did see his name in conjunction with my plane in
a magazine after he googled his fathers name-and contacted me to come an
d see his fathers plane and see it flying ,which he did and he was delighte
d with what he saw.You see as a boy he would crawl through the fuselage and
smell the wood- while running in the cables etc. for his dad.When he loo
ked into the fuselage and smelt the wood it brought back all those wonderfu
l memories of helping his dad-.=0A

Thank you Mike. I understand exactly what you are saying. I respect those o
n this list not only from a human standpoint, but I respect their ways of t
hinking and the way they choose to build their planes. I get some very usef
ul info. here, as we all have, as well as some useless badgering. I try to
take it all in stride and I try not to let it get out of hand. (Bite my ton
gue from time to time.)- I think this is a great forum to gain/give knowl
edge for a very small community of fliers who chose the Pietenpol.

Thank you Gene. I really do ask so many questions here because I just don't
know the answers. I hope to get useful answers from those who have experie
nced what I am proposing to change, good or bad. My ideas are not always (s
eldom) the best, but there is a chance that someone else has tried, seen, e
xperienced exactly what I am asking and can tell me for sure GO or NO GO. M
y plane will not be one so removed that it will not be recognized as a Piet
. I needed a platform to start with and the Pietenpol was the best foundati
on for me. I-hope when it is finished, Mr. Pietenpol himself would approv
e.

Thanks for the reply Ed. I can make the bow as is, no problems. I have made
furniture in the past that required laminating- 3 pieces of 3/8" thick o
ak to form a curve for the arms of a chair. I had to make the form, jig, et
c.
-
My spars are currently made as per the 3 piece wing print. I see what you a
re saying with the alignment of the spars and leading/trailing edges. Havin
g looked at it more, I would either need to make the tip as shown, or curve
it in a way that it would mate to-the spars and leading/trailing edges.
I guess I could make a straight piece-to attach to the spars, then anothe
r from the front spar to the leading edge and yet a third to go from the re
ar spar to the trailing edge. That would be a 3 piece tip and not very stro
ng as a compression strut. -A straight tip along the spars just won't wor
k, unless as you pointed out, the spars and other considerations are made t
o fit.

Thanks.

I had spent four years rebuilding a car that I dreamed of having someday wh
ile I was in high school. Of course, it is quite modified now, but it was n
ot a numbers matching car when I got it. I always thought that the guys who
were trying to build a numbers matching, all original, as from the factory
car, had it so much harder then me. They had twice the homework, twice the
research to do, and at least 4 times the money to spend. I thought these g
uys were the ones who knew what was what and if I were going to ask anyone
questions these were the guys to go to.

The Pietenpol purist have their worked cut out for them trying to stay true
to the original. It is hard to find the materials, the tools, the proper m
ethods and techniques to use, etc. I salute their efforts and look forward
to seeing one of these "originals" in person.

Subject: | Re: Wing tip bow |
Only the portion between the spars would be considered the compression
strut. The other two pieces would comprise the outboard leading and
trailing edges. What you describe sounds as though it would resemble the
wingtip on a Tailwind, trapezoidal in shape.
