Vi says the dihedral is one inch. The Pietenpol Aircamper located at the
Pioneer Museum in Oshkosh has two inches of dihedral. Vi stated that
Bernard thought that was too much. It also has only 1/4 inch washout
instead of 3/8 that Vi used to rig his wing.

Jon,
Welcome to the list. I'm building a Piet but fly a Grega that I bought.
Does your project have the plywood sides, pilot seat to tail post, per
Grega plans? If so you can loose some weight there. The guys that built
mine cut away most of the ply, leaving about an inch at the uprights and
diagonals and more where the gussets are on the Piet plans.

I am working toward covering the fuselage but to do that I have needed to
do preliminary rigging and found some guide blocks mis-located.

Just had to send it to you; i.e. ask and you shall receive. I've got all the
fuselage fittings off as I am sanding and varnishing the inside of the
cockpits. Then paint all the control sticks, etc before mounting them again.
Notice I still have the price tag on the tailwheel; I may leave it there ala

Skip,
I thought about that, but decided against it. All the fairings were in place and
the plywood is so thin. I weighed some pieces and found that I was dealing
with ounces so I decided that it would be a lot of work for very little gain.
All of my mounting hardware on the tail was maked for 1/4" bolts instead of
3/16" I have remodeled that and where holes were already drilled in the wood,
I plugged the holes with hardwood dowels and epoxy and re drilled the holes to
a smaller size. .Some were miss placed so this allowed me to get proper alignment.
The weight savings for smaller bolts and nuts adds up to quite a few square
inches of plywood. I also am changing the tail wheel design as I mentioned
before to save some weight.
By the way I did check out the archives on weight and balance and found some good
information. This list is a good resource.

Brown Bear Damaged Piper Cub N9368D - 2009
I got this this a.m. from my old friend Randy K. who flys for K-2
Aviation in Talkeetna, Alaska. A bear mauled this Cub while parked in
hunting camp in AK. The owner had not cleaned the plane since a fishing
trip so obviously the bear smelled it.
He had 2 new tires, 3 cases of Duct Tape and several rolls of thick
plastic wrap brought out to him, repaired the plane and flew it home. I
bet, from the look of the right side horizontal stabilizer, he still had
to hold a lot of left rudder and stick. Gutsy eh? cr

Hi Oscar,
We are located in Shreveport, Louisiana. As far as we can determine we may be the
only active Piet build in the State. I hope not. It would be great to have
another build going on close by. At this point we are planning for a C-200. A
radial would be way cool but is probably not realistic based what we have learned
so far.

That duct tape was good for more than 200 mph.
When I worked for a large airplane company out at Edwards AFB in the
early '70s, they frequently had to run instrumentation wiring externally
under the wing. They'd tape it on. They did use a high-grade duct tape,
a lot like gaffer's tape, and the rule was that if they were going to go
supersonic, they had to epoxy the edges. Subsonic, not to bother.
Years later I got to figuring, and it turns out that 17 knots in water
is the same dynamic pressure as 500 knots in air. 500 knots is the max
sea level airspeed limit of an SR-71 and while I didn't have one of
those, I did have a fast sailboat, and wanted to compare them. You can't
go supersonic in an SR-71 at sea level anyway. After a while, another
sailor ripped up his boat on some rocks. He got it to the dock, and we
duct-taped it back together. Lots of duct tape, we did a good job. I
told him to keep it under 17 knots and he'd be okay, and he sailed the
rest of the weekend like that.
True stories, too.

It was called "Mach 2 tape" and it stuck on better than paint, except close
to the leading edges or nose where it got hot after "cruising" for a while.

Gary,
I don't know for sure. I think the lens is dirty and just haven'tchecked
it yet. I will do that tomorrow or whenever I remember it. I knowI need
a new prescription!
Sorry it took so long to answer this; I have been busy and next Tuesday we
will be in Arizona for a couple of weeks; holy delay Batman!

Jim,
It's just about time!!! You must be excited!
I have to ask, though: What's wrong with your camera? I notice that your
pictures are getting fuzzy, or do I need a new prescription?

Just had to send it to you; i.e. ask and you shall receive. I've got all the
fuselage fittings off as I am sanding and varnishing the inside of the
cockpits. Then paint all the control sticks, etc before mounting them again.
Notice I still have the price tag on the tailwheel; I may leave it there ala
Minnie Pearl.

John,
If you don't mind a 40 mile detour off I-80 you are welcome to come to Santa
Rosa and see my Piet under construction. I have the fuselage on wheels, wing
ribs done, tail surfaces done, engine mount done, and engine about ready to
hang.l
Santa Rosa is North of San Francisco on highway 101 and about 40 miles West
of I-80 via highway 12.
My address is 3504 BAnyan St and phone is 707-571-8001.
It would be nice to have a visitor and get some constructive comments.
Cheers,
Jim B.

Brown Bear Damaged Piper Cub N9368D - 2009
I got this this a.m. from my old friend Randy K. who flys for K-2 Aviation
in Talkeetna, Alaska. A bear mauled this Cub while parked in hunting camp in
AK. The owner had not cleaned the plane since a fishing trip so obviously
the bear smelled it.
He had 2 new tires, 3 cases of Duct Tape and several rolls of thick
plastic wrap brought out to him, repaired the plane and flew it home. I
bet, from the look of the right side horizontal stabilizer, he still had to
hold a lot of left rudder and stick. Gutsy eh? cr
