Hi John If you'll send me your snail mail address I'll put together some d
rawings=2C photos and directions like I was going to do for Michael. If I p
ut it on the list you'll get so many opinions and variations that you wont
know where to start. I'll keep a copy and maybe others can use them in the
future. Unfortunately I lost the photos that I took while doing it when my
hard drive crashed last summer. I still have my jig so I can take some pict
ures of it. I learned to laminate while making curvy teak and holly sailboa
t tillers years ago. It's not something everyone has done so it can be a li
ttle intimidating the first time you do it but it's not hard to do. Ed Gr

Don't know about Michael but I would love a set. I am always willing to lea
rn from others. Saves me from reinventing the wheelJohnJohn

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 betw
een the nose and tip of a rib is way down near the bottom edge. The spars w
ould need to be cut to match them. As a compression strut they would be way
off center causing the spars to twist under load unless you added an upper
strut and the drag wires' geometry would have an upward component unless t
hey were moved to the center of the spar somehow. If that is not your re
ason then please make them however you want. Ed Grentzer 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

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.

John, I am building my first wing right now as well. If your spars are not
bent and twisted to bad, you have nothing to worry about. When it comes tim
e to make use of the drag wires in the wing as well as rigging the wings to
the fuselage, that is when you can get it all in alignment.- Keep in min
d that wood will continue to move, swell, twist, bend, etc. over time. Even
after the wing is built, I am told they are quite easy to twist and shift.
They don't get stiff until rigged and covered. So, a perfect wing "on the
jig" will more then likely move around a bit once it is removed and put out
of the way for later covering.
-
I have my first wing on my mobile table I made. I used some scrap 5" wood a
s a fence on one end to keep the spar ends even. I have a second fence 90 d
egrees to the first about 3 feel long as a guide for the length of the spar
. The rib locations are marked on the spars from top to bottom using a squa
re to make sure they are perpendicular to the spars. I epoxy in place 3 rib
s at a time and clamp them just enough to draw the spar up to the vertical
rib support. (minimal epoxy squeeze out.)- This process in effect will "w
alk" out any minor twist in the spars. I let these three ribs sit overnight
and then do 3 more, working from one end of the spars to the other. I only
have my spars clamped at the ends up against the fence and the forward spa
r along the 3 foot fence. The rest of the front spar and rear-spar are le
ft to "float". You will find that if you keep the spar ends equal and the r
ibs perpendicular to the spars, the wing is somewhat self aligning. By
clamping the spars to the vertical rib supports, the spars will kinda self
adjust assuming those vertical supports are square and not twisted. As lon
g as-your ribs are made the same and the cap strips are square to each ot
her, (the rib is true in every plane) as you work from one end to the other
, the wing will be just fine.
-
I have pictures of my current setup right now if interested. I will be epox
ying ribs 10,11,and 12 today.

O.K., Not sure how many pictures I can put on a single post, so I may have
to send multiple replies.

This- first picture shows the small oak fences screwed to my table at exa
ctly 90 degrees. At the end of the table is the larger fence that is screwe
d to the smaller oak. The very ends of the spars are butted here and clampe
d to the fence. I put my front spar 6" away from the front small oak fence.
(Just a made up measurement. I wanted to make sure the ribs did not hit th
e front fence.) The dark wood block further down the spar is also 6" clampe
d to the fence and the spar to maintain parrallel. The spar ends are now ev
en and the front spar is locked square to the ends. The ribs themselves pro
perly space the rear spar. The spars are up on spaces that I will show you
in my next picture. Note the wood wedges between the rib tops and the front
spar top. These are added after the ribs have dried overnight.

This attached picture shows the two small oak fences as well as the larger end
fence. The spar ends are clamped on top of the small end fence to keep the spars
from resting on top of the inside of the ribs and to give me working room.

All right, here you will see toward the end of the table another piece of oak used
to maintain the same height as the front small fence under the spars. Notice
nothing is clamped to the table or tool box. I allow the spars to float and
let the ribs do the alignment. The green weights strapped to the spar with rags
is just there to keep some down force on the wing so that it won't sway if
bumped. The three bar clamps clamp the spars snugly to the rib verticals and remove
any twist out of the spar. Just enough to lay the spar upagainst the verticles...you
don't want to pre-stress the ribs or squeeze out the epoxy here.
As I said, I do three ribs at a time working from the end fence allowing each
set to dry overnight. I will do the end rib and tip rib tomorrow. The end rib
is not in place in the first photo because I could not rest the spars on the small
oak fence nor butt the spars against the large fence had Itbeen there.

Lastly, this shows-a rib location mark on the spars. These are drawn squa
re to the spars and as long as the ribs at each spar are on these lines, an
d the ends of the spars are even, (against the end fence) all is square. We
ll, I believe good enough to get you to the rigging and covering stage. The

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Squaring up
John, I am building my first wing right now as well. If your
spars are not bent and twisted to bad, you have nothing to worry about.
When it comes time to make use of the drag wires in the wing as well as
rigging the wings to the fuselage, that is when you can get it all in
alignment. Keep in mind that wood will continue to move, swell, twist,
bend, etc. over time. Even after the wing is built, I am told they are
quite easy to twist and shift. They don't get stiff until rigged and
covered. So, a perfect wing "on the jig" will more then likely move
around a bit once it is removed and put out of the way for later
covering.
I have my first wing on my mobile table I made. I used some
scrap 5" wood as a fence on one end to keep the spar ends even. I have a
second fence 90 degrees to the first about 3 feel long as a guide for
the length of the spar. The rib locations are marked on the spars from
top to bottom using a square to make sure they are perpendicular to the
spars. I epoxy in place 3 ribs at a time and clamp them just enough to
draw the spar up to the vertical rib support. (minimal epoxy squeeze
out.) This process in effect will "walk" out any minor twist in the
spars. I let these three ribs sit overnight and then do 3 more, working
from one end of the spars to the other. I only have my spars clamped at
the ends up against the fence and the forward spar along the 3 foot
fence. The rest of the front spar and rear spar are left to "float". You
will find that if you keep the spar ends equal and the ribs
perpendicular to the spars, the wing is somewhat self aligning. By
clamping the spars to the vertical rib supports, the spars will kinda
self adjust assuming those vertical supports are square and not twisted.
As long as your ribs are made the same and the cap strips are square to
each other, (the rib is true in every plane) as you work from one end to
the other, the wing will be just fine.
I have pictures of my current setup right now if interested. I
will be epoxying ribs 10,11,and 12 today.

Rob,
It's been around for years, and I've been borrowing it for as long.
Haven't got fined yet!
Merry Christmas,
Al Lyscars
B19 Biddeford, Maine
Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal
Aviation Administration, and the FAA examiner, Orton, arrived last week
for the pre-Christmas check ride.
In preparation, Santa had his elves wash the sled and bathe all the
reindeer.
Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order.
He knew they would examine all his equipment and truly put Santa's
flying skills to the test.
The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked all the reindeer
harnesses, the landing gear, and even Rudolph's nose.
He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for
sled's enormous payload.
Finally, they were ready for the check ride. Santa got in and fastened
his seat belt and shoulder harness and checked the compass.
Then the FAA examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a
shotgun.
"What's that for!?" asked Santa incredulously.
The FAA examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to tell you this
ahead of time," as he leaned over to whisper in Santa's ear,
"but you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff."

Mike; I guess what Lowell was referring to was the image that was with his post,
showing an injected inline Ford. If you can't see that, go to
http://forums.matronics.com and go to the Piet forum. You'll see that image
attached to the post.
Pretty interesting setup and also has a magneto installed pointing forward
rather than hung off the back of the Ford like most. It would seem that
with so many inline injected 4-cyl. engines on the road these days, taking one
off a car and installing it on an airplane wouldn't be too difficult but then
again there is the "black box" that controls the darned things. Too many
sensors, pickups, wires, and programming details to make them work.

The Injection body installed on this Ford B, was first tried on a stock Ford A
in 1992 and ran for 2 years (110 Hrs ) The increase in RPM ran take-off engine
speed at 1450 RPM with a 76X42 Prop. After the trial run the babbit was inspected
and was perfect. This A Ford engine was at Oshkosh during that EAA Pietenpol
Interview.
This Ford B installation has a stock Lambert , 90 HP, prop, (76X57), and will turn
2250 RPM. And by the way there isn't any electronics involved, 4.5 GPH fuel
consumption, no carb heat required, primer injects fuel at intake ports. Idles
at 550 RPM. Look close at photo , you will see many bolt-on go-fasts. this
B Ford has close to 300 Hrs, and no problems.

Mike: careful... real Piets are not fuel injected ;o)
In both a light-hearted and yet a serious way, I look at that injected
Ford and see not only all of Mr. Pietenpol, but also a lot of what has
come after him. No, that engine is not converted according to Mr.
Pietenpol's clear and complete details. The leather flex coupling for
the mag isn't there, neither is the original carb, and very likely
not much of the engine interior is per his details- and yet there it is,
a nifty and reliable conversion. Experimental aviation at its finest,
and all of it based on the tried-and-true, soon to be 80-year-old design
that started life on the floor of a barn.
Start with a stable and forgiving platform and tweak to your heart's content.
There are not too many marginal aspects of the airplane, so we can do
a lot of different things to it and still end up with a good flier.

Have you run string through the ribs where the drag wires
will go? Just to make sure they will clear all the upright
parts of the ribs. If you go into the archives there's many
messages over the years indicating that the ribs should be
spaced to clear the drag wires and usually a few ribs will
be moved a bit from even spacing. It would be a shame
to have to cut out and replace rib braces to clear the wires.
Apparently if you build exactly to the planes it won't be an
issue but a few have moved ribs a half inch one way or the
other to have clearance.
It was suggested by Graham Hansen that it would be a
good idea to set all ribs in place without glueing then
install the cross bracing and drag/antidrag wires. If there
appears to be a clearance issue then you can move ribs
to clear. This could be more of an issue if your designing
your own method of drag bracing as some have done.
