I haven't seen any specs as to how many growth rings per inch
I think the assumption that grain run out of 16-1 will work but the
growth rings seem wider I know Spruce you have max and min rings=2C
the spruce on Alaskan costal areas is to brittle to many growth rings.

Subject: | Re: CABLE TENSION? |
Very easy. As you tighten the turnbuckles, pluck the wire like a guitar
string. Cables of an equal length will have the same tone. The tighter you
make it, the higher the pitch. There is no need to over tighten, it will
only stress the wood. All you need is for the wing not to move and the
tension reached when the cable makes the Fwang sound is tight enough.

Pete Bowers in the plans for the fly baby says to tighten the cables as
tight as you can with your fingers, then give the turnbuckle barrel one
more turn. When I did this on my wings, I got a FWANG sound. My Tech
Counselor said to tighten to no more than 40#. When I checked it with a
tensionometer, thats what I had.

I was fortunate that my hangar mate has a cable tensiometer
and I used his to tension the wing strut X-brace cables.
I didn't have any set value of tension though... I twanged
one to the tension I liked, then checked the tension with
the gauge, then set the others to the same tension. I
also don't have Corky's piano-tuner ear so I don't know
what key my cables twang in.
West Marine carries the Loos "regular" cable tensiometer
for $79.99 and it's good for 3/32", 1/8", and 5/32" cables.

Gary,
I glued little blocks of wood every 3-4" to the plywood-sheeted but rib end
s and
CC sheeted ribs with T-88 and then used small flathead wood screws thru my
aluminum
fairings to attach. Worked fine.

Tim, "intercostal" is just a fancy word for a structural member between two
other structural members, when there is no other word for it. It is really
a medical term, meaning "between the ribs", but I know there were some
"intercostals" between the fuselage bulkheads on the F-16. They were
usually added to provide a surface to mount something on - e.g., I remember
there was an intercostal in the cockpit of the F-16 between a couple of
bulkheads that provided the mount for the throttle lever.

The vertical braces are not shown in the Flying and Glider Magazine, nor
in the set of Improved Pietenpol Air Camper Pietenpol plans, BUT they
ARE shown in the full-size rib plan that is available from the Pietenpol
family.
They aren't really necessary for strength, but do provide a nice
reference point when installing the ribs onto the spars.
It's your choice whether to use them or not - both methods would qualify
as "per the plans", in my mind.

A marine trick for when the screw holes eventually enlarge, is to drill
then a bit oversize, stuff them with a thickened epoxy, and re-drill
them.
A refinement is to spray a dry spray-lube like Elmer's or McLube on the
screws and insert them into the wet epoxy. When the epoxy cures, the
screw threads are nicely formed, and the spray lube (even WD-40 works)
lets you unscrew them.
Hint, let the spray lube dry first.
The overall approach is an effective method of putting screw threads
into a sealed hole in wood or some other material.

Subject: | How many flying with Riblett 612? |
I am trying to figure out which rib jig to build. The stock airfoil or
the Riblett 612. The biggest reason for the 612 would be to get a
better rate of climb. I have been in planes climbing at 250 fpm and did
not like it. A side benefit would be the slightly larger center section
volume for either fuel or luggage.
I know that there are a few people building 612 wings but how many have
actually been flown?
Are there any downsides like CG problems - the Piet is know for coming
out tail heavy.

Ross, I just took off the cap (I used a plastic cannister) and slipped
the cannister over the mic, with the small hole I drilled in line with
the mic. I was then able to slip a foam mic cover over the cannister.
Everyone reported good audio.
I should have mentioned that I used coflex (stuff that is used by nurses
to secure a bandage), to wrap the mic in before I put the cannister on.
You can buy it at any drug store. The colfax keep the cannister from
slipping off.

Subject: | the cost of building |
When I started construction of my first (and only)
plans-built homebuilt, the Flying Squirrel that I'm
still working on, I kept a very detailed log of build
time, tasks, costs, and receipts. I am still keeping
it. After more than six years of building and virtually
no flying, I knew I'd have to have an airplane to fly
or I'd lose my flying skills. I bought Corky's Piet so
I could keep flying while I continued to build and
that was five years ago now (I first cut wood on the
Squirrel eleven years ago).
I have learned a lot about the cost of building an
airplane. Mostly it consists of dozens of purchases
of $10-$20 range, with a few in the $50-$100 dollar range,
once the big ticket items are paid for (wood, engine,
instruments). The thing about it is, it's not like
when you go to buy a new car and have to sign for
something with five figures right there, right then.
And in the case of working on an airplane that you are
also flying, it's nearly painless. Repairs, upgrades,
enhancements- the cost of those is very easy to bear,
and so is fuel. No, it's getting into the game that is
the most painful and yet in hindsight, it's really not
that significant.
I paid more for a new washer and dryer than it costs for
all the wood to build an airframe and wings. I paid
more for my lawnmower than it costs for the glass cloth
and epoxy resin to build my Flying Squirrel. I paid
more for my daughter's 2004 Camry with over 100K miles
on it than for a complete A65 with carb, mags, and
exhaust. And yet buying the Camry was so casual that
I met the seller at the parking lot of a mall, handed
him a check, he gave me the papers for it, and I drove
off. Just like that. Buying an airplane engine, or
a prop, or almost anything for it- seems to require a
lot more agonizing, rationalization, and saving up than
it really should.
Once you're flying, there is no turning back; you're
hooked. I have never thought about the shipping & handling
costs for things I buy for the airplane, and although
I'm sure it's a significant cost, it's nothing compared
with what I get out of flying my Air Camper. Nothing.
Don't let the cost of building or flying be the only
deterrent to engaging in it. Start simple, work your way
up, and don't look back. And to think that for those in
professional employment the government
skims almost as much off a 2-week paycheck than it costs
for a complete set of new Slick mags, harness, and plugs for
the engine, and this happens every two weeks!!!

Jack, Bill, and Steve, thanks. I understand the location and definition now.
Whew, I am past that issue on the ribs. I thought this was something I had missed.
I keep finding little niggling details, but so far at least just in time,
thanks to help of all of you (sometimes "us").

Well, the electric-eye doohicky RPM reader says that there is no RPM

The bulliten on west coast Piets says per weight it is both stronger,
lighter
takes very little time, and they don't use gl-2, they use marine with 45
degree grain. Saves money on wood for sure.
It really takes only three maybe four hours to build a spar.
The wheels in your head must be turning or you wouldn't of asked.
I just bought a plane to fly so I can take all the time I want.

Subject: | Re: Baltic birch plywood |
Well Shad,
In the case of the built-up spar like Peter Johnson built in Australia,
there was no re-designing needed. In the UK, where amateur aircraft
construction is much more restrictive than it is in North America, by
law, the only plans that may be used to build a Pietenpol there are a
set of the original Pietenpol plans with several mandatory changes.
Included in those plans, as designed by Jim Wills, is the plans for that
built-up spar. The re-design was prompted by the lack of availability of
suitable spar material in the UK, and the result is a built-up spar that
is reported to be stronger, lighter and cheaper than a solid Spruce
spar. The only downside that I can see is that there is considerably
more labor (or labour, since it's British) required to build the
built-up spar, as compared to using a solid hunk of Spruce. But then, if
one was looking for an aircraft design that didn't require much labor,
the Piet is likely the wrong choice anyway, so what's a few more hours
in the workshop? And, since, in the UK, the LAA (formerly the PFA) does
a thorough engineering review of an aircraft's design prior to allowing
any to be built, one can rest assured that the spar design is safe. The
down side to all of this is that Mr. Wills apparently will not sell a
set of the modified plans to anyone on this side of "the Pond",
apparently due to fears of liability.
If you aren't aware of Peter's Pietenpol, he maintained a fantastic,
fully detailed website throughout the build process, which is still
available to view, even though Peter has sold the Air Camper (thanks
Peter).

I followed Chuck Gantzer's lead and installed two "intercostal" uprights per spar

hehehehe, well, "it sips pretty nicely" is close...this is special beyond w

I could probably afford 750ml of T88...but not the gift Javier brought to m

In fact, I have JUST enough left for a sip when Mark and John visit later t
his month...
Actually, I have this little tradition.- There is an unopened bottle of S
ierra beer on a shelf in my workshop.- That bottle was given to me on one
of my first visits with the Piet builders in NorCal.- There's also an un
opened bottle of Corona next to it that I received from Sterling when I sig
ned up as a member in good standing of the Texas Air Camper Organization (T
ACO) several years ago.- Both are very special to me and will remain unop

th such a great bunch of people.- Neither are worth much for drinking at
this point but still VERY special to me.
Life is good....
please, do not archive any of my silly yammering....
To at least make this even a tiny bit "building a Pietenpol" related...last
weekend I finally figured out my fuel line/fuel valve setup, thanks to Osc
ar.- The valve attaches directly to the bottom of the tank.- From the v
alve there's a flexible hose over to where the fuel line runs down the insi

d the cabanes moves somehow, the flexible fuel line will....flex.- Someon
