I think that's the location of the passenger instrument panel. See the

I thought the same thing the first time I sat in the fuselage . Now
that the airplane is flying its perfectly comfortable. Maybe if I was
taller (I'm 5'8") I would feel different, but now I'm glad I stuck to
the plans.
The upright position keeps your head closer to the windshield, and your
CG forward, both good things to think about.

its not the pass. inst. panel because on the drawing below it show the panel 15"
back plus 6.25" back. thats 21.25". It's very close to the same location, but
on the drawing asked about the 21.5" is showing the length of the dotted line,
which is as we know a hidden detail. The only hidden details in this particular
drawing would be the gussets.
Check out westcoastpiet.com for tons of high quality pics of high quality work
on every single part of the plane if you haven't already done so. The only reason
I have not asked a ton of questions here is because pictures really are worth
a thousand, in this case not only words but potentially dollars too.

Ben,
I couldn't agree with you more on the seat back angle. Mr. Pietenpol must have
figured out in the previous airplanes he built that a more straight seat back
angle was a good thing. I often find myself leaning a little off of the seat
back to stay within the windshield better. Seldom do I find myself wanting to
lean back. On landing the "at attention" angle is a very good thing. You sure
don't want to be "at ease". Ha!

Bill,
I angled my rear seat back two inches, back one inch at the top and forward
one inch at the bottom, which keeps the balance closer to original. I had
another fuselage which I didn't utilize where I could simulate many
different angles. Also, when it comes to gussets and blocks, stay close to
plans. For example I added a block (shown in link) thinking it would help
the strength and found out later it made the cutting and installation of the
V braces on the front seat harder to do. I had to place them in front of
the seat and wanted to position to the rear of the seat. You can see here...
http://textors.com/IMG_1939_640x427.jpg . Many other shots at
www.textors.com.
Enjoy,
Jack

I started fuselage construction building a mock fuselage out of scrap wood
(as recommended in the Bingelis books). Not only helped me figure out if I
wanted to change my seat back angle and increase turtle deck heights (and
widen my fuselage by 2 inches), but I also learned a lot about how
everything went together. So I had few problems when I started cutting the
expensive wood.
I also added simulated wing ribs and cabanes to see how much to increase
cabane length (see attached). And when you are done with it the kids can use
it for a sled or something.

No problemo John. Get those plans ordered and bring on the questions. You
are about to begin a life-altering experience (some would call if a

only a month and a half away, and you may even get a ride in a Piet.

You did that in the correct order Dan. Like a dope I cut out many of my

I did the same thing Rick... except my count was a little over 1000 pieces since
I installed uprights in front and behind each spar, plus the additional uprights
on the on the 6 end ribs. I probably would not install the uprights in front
and behind each spar again. It seems to be a bit much, and they were a minor
pain to slide onto the ribs. I think the single uprights (or maybe none
at all as per the original plans) would probably be sufficient.
I went through a dozen emery boards sanding each of those gussets before I glued
them. A sanding block would have have required minimal effort. I'll remember
that in the future.

Douwe,
I don't know that yet. We're looking to "scrounge" one somewhere. Any suggestions?
The original plane was heavy. In the 1994 Brodhead W&B measurements, it
