| Subject: | Fuselage Dimensions |
I'm about to join the two sides of the fuselage, but, once again am
struggling with the plans, specifically trying to figure out the top and
bottom dimensions. Does anyone have a clean set of dimensions/drawings
to help with this. I'm building the long fuse.
Thanks,
Jim

I'm not to that part of the project yet. Until now I hadn't looked
enough at the plans set to realize that those dimensions aren't shown on
the supplemental sheet. I guess what I'll end up doing is laying it out
full size on the workbench where I'll assemble it. Actually I plan to
build a mock-pit after I finish my ribs. Now I may do it full length
just to get these dimensions.
My thoughts: Lay out one half - start with a full length centerline.
Draw the front of the fuse parallel to that, back to where ever you'll
start the bend. The plans show full width back to the rear panel, but I
know some have kept it full width to the rear seat back. Mark the
position and width of the tail post on the centerline. Now take a
flexible strip of wood, tack it to the full width, straight line at the
front and bend it back to the tail post. Mark the cross member
locations. Mirror the whole thing for the other side and measure away.
Since there are so many variations, widened fuselage, different points
to start the bend, adjusted seat back locations, etc., I'd think we'd
all have to lay it out out this way unless building a stock short fuse.
Let us know how it goes.

Jim,
Make your cockpit dimension to suit (whether 24" or wider), insert those
x-members then squeeze the ends together at the tail. The rest of the
dimensions will be whatever they are at that station.
Happy Building,
Gary Boothe

| Subject: | Re: Fuselage Dimensions |
I would think, looking at the plans (don't have the fuselage in front of
me), that you would just use the dimensions from the overhead view on the
'33 fuselage. The 'long' fuselage adds length between various stations, but
it does not change the number of struts or diagonals. For example: on the
'33 plans the vertical and diagonal members are numbered, 1 through 14.
Label the members 1 through 14 on your long fuselage drawing, and just
transfer the width dimensions.
Stations #1-5 are 24". Starting with the seat back (station #7), it goes to
22" wide. Station #9 is 17 3/4". Station #11 is 11". Finally, Station #13 is
5 1/2".
I assume there were no widths given on the supplemental long fuse plan
because the intent is for you to use the same width dimensions given on the
'33 sheet; no need to draw it out again. At least that's how I see it....

Is the built-up (box) wing spar that is approved
for use in the U.K. a 3/4" thick spar or 1"? I've
looked at pictures of one (Paul Shenton's, I believe)
and can't see how it could possibly be 3/4".

Oscar, I have looked at the built up spars as well, and it is hard to
determine how they are constructed from photos. I have searched for a place
to order the PFA drawings for this spar, but all I have found is Mr.
Trextor's drawings of his proposed spar. It looks doable, but I'm
interested in the necessity of intercostals where the ribs attach, filler
blocks where fittings attach, etc. These things are just as important as
the spanwise loads because that's how we hang the fuse from the wing, :-)

Oscar,
I built the UK spar. Check out http://www.cpc-world.com Page 4 of the build
photos.
The front spar is 7/8", the rear is 3/4". Both are covered with 1/8" ply
totally on the front of the spars and in part on the rear of the spars.
I can give you some dimensions if you like.
I understand, as already suggested, Jim Wills will not sell to the US for
fear of litigation if some thing fails. I have put them to the test and they
don't fail.....
Cheers

OK, so a week before before my "5 minutes" email and youtube video, I
rounded out and flared so high on the grass strip at BUU that when I
bounced the first time, there wasn't enough time to bounce again before
the CFI pushed the throttle forward and we went around. No, there's no
video.
There was 3 things that I came away with on that go around:
1) This airplane is built like a tank! I must have bounced in from 10'.
OK, maybe it just felt that high, but it sure bounced. No creaks or
bangs or anything made me think it was going to come apart. What a
great plane!
2) This airfoil responds well to any sort of power input. When he
applied power the plane never dipped again.
3) When you flare too high, just push the stick forward *a little bit*
and let it sink gently to the ground, easy as pie.

Jim,
Make your cockpit dimension to suit (whether 24" or wider), insert those
x-members then squeeze the ends together at the tail. The rest of the
dimensions will be whatever they are at that station.
Happy Building,

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fuselage Dimensions
I'm about to join the two sides of the fuselage, but, once again am
struggling with the plans, specifically trying to figure out the top and
bottom dimensions. Does anyone have a clean set of dimensions/drawings to
help with this. I'm building the long fuse.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Gary,
The sarcasm was unkind of me; I apologize to anyone who might have read it. Some
questions I have asked have been even more obvious.
Oh well I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night but I did mash my right
thumb with a hammer today trying to seal the lid on a can of varnish.
Cheers,
