      Guys.
      
      My version can be found at www.mykitplane.com see the file section or follow the link.

      If you use the recommended spring (as in use on my Aircamper ) the spring inner
      diameter is slightly larger than the tube it slides over.
      No need for tubing on the washer OD

      Probably a good idea Jake, however I have seen so many of these (on certified and
      exp) without them that I figured they weren't needed.

      Rick, 
      
      Very nice craftsmanship.  The Only comment I have, and everyone feel free to tell
      me to shut up, based on my 30 years of building, fixing, repairing, vehicles,
      I would make 1 small change to the design,  Find a couple of pieces of  tubing
      with an ID of 1.75 and a wall of .12 or so, cut them about 1/2 an inch long
      and weld them to the washers, to form a cup that the spring sits in.  while
      this may seem like a waste of time it will keep the spring centered and prevent
      it from offsetting during compression. 
      
      My 2 cents.

      We hassled with the bungee donut idea over the weekend.  Didn't like it.
      
      Bottom line: I'll replace the bungees with springs.  Materials are coming.  Will
      likely use Hans Vander Voort's design, since I've stolen everything else from
      him.
      
      Should be about 1.5 weekends of work.

      There already IS a Piet biplane, and I have a copy of the plans in front of me...
      
      The design was done in 1977 by one C. Wille, and appears to be pretty complete.
      The plans came with the original Pietenpol blueprints (NOT bluelines)  I purchased
      about a year ago.  The plan set consists of three sheets, and has 8 to
      10 paragraphs of build instructions, along with disclaimers, etc.  The full size
      rib layout for the lower wing  is included.
      
      I'm not sure whether these can be duplicated, as they are bluelines, nor where
      to locate C. Wille,  but, since there is no copyright symbol, nor rights claimed,
      as with the Pietenpol plans, this would be considered public domain, and may
      be copied at will.
      
      Let me know if anyone is interested, and I'll check into the cost of copying.

      Thanks, Rick Holland.  Your work is really nice!
      Hi Rick Schreiber - I'm building per Hans' drawing and he's given you the
       link.  
       ain't too proud to steal.  Hans' design works for me because it's a direc
      t 
      eplacement for the bungee setup.
      John - Let me know when you're going to visit Hans.  My hangar to his is
       a nice 
      light and I haven't seen him in a while.  Alternatively, you're welcome in
      
      ustin if you've got the time and energy to drive the couple of extra hours
      .  
      'd have tools waiting.

      Not to be contrarian, but I don' think that's how copyright works.
      
      Chad Willie is a longtime Pietenpoler. He is featured prominently in 
      Chet Peek's "The Pietenpol Story." He and his wife have an antique 
      aeroplane restoration/building business, webpages at: 
      http://stcroix.50webs.com/
      
      Contact information:

      stcroixair@frontiernet.net
      
      I don't know how up-to-date any of this is.
      
      There was a long-ish discussion about Chad Willie back in 2006 on 
      this list. Search on "Chad Willie St Croix" as the subject and/or on 
      "Bill Sayre" as author.

      A possibly more relevent measurement on mine is the distance from the from
      the center of the front cabane attach bracket on the top longeron to the
      Corvair rear engine mount bolt - 36".
      
      To determine where my engine needed to end up I did a preliminary W&B on the
      uncovered airframe with scrap iron for fuel tank/fuel weight then reversed
      engineered where the engine needed to be.

      There was one for sale on Barnstormers a while back.  I seem to recall 
      that it had been de-listed in the FAA registry, that it was trucked 
      home, and during the move a wing got damaged pretty badly.  The new 
      owner stopped in on the list to recount the tale.  Not sure what 
      happened with it from there.

      The plans are on order! The money has been sent, now we just wait for the plans
      to come to our door!!
      Now, where is everyone buying their wood at? I see some one went to Aircraft spruce.
      And that they offer a package, but it is missing the wood for the ribs?
      
      I have also asked our local shop, and they said it would be $20 a board ft. So,
      from the materials list I have, I think I came up with 100 bd ft. ? Is that right?

      That's a bad URL (I blame the folks in Redmond). 
      
      Can you tell us how to get the info from the main 
      http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/menu.htm page?
      
      Okay, here goes...
      On the left side of the page click "Modes of Transportation"
      Then, on the left side of the new page, click "Air Transportation"
      Then, on the left side of THAT new page, click "Aircraft"
      Then, on the left side of THAT new page, click "Aircraft Registration and Leasing"
      Then, on the RIGHT side of THAT new page, click "Canadian Civil Aircraft Register"
      This will direct you to a new site.
      Click the link.
      Then click "English".
      Then, on the left side, click "Historical Register".
      When the new page comes up, enter "GIXC" for the mark.
      THAT will get you to the history of the mark C-GIXC that is seen on the tail of
      the low-wing Pietenpol in the photo.
      
      Clicking C-GIXC will bring up the data for the plane.
      
      Phew!
      
      Anyway, looking through that data, I see the reason why it looks so different -
      It's not actually a Pietenpol... It's a GN-1.   :)

      Wing rib material is best ordered from Aircraft Spruce.  I ordered wood from 
      them recentely.  Wing ribs take approx 630 running feet in 6 ft. sections. 
      That will be enough to cover tha tail feathers also.

      For buying sitka spruce, try McCormick Lumber in Madison, WI.  You're in northern
      Illinois, so it would be worth the trip.  The last time I checked with them,
      4/4 sitka was going for $9.00/ bd. ft.  Now you will have to get it joined and
      planed so get friendly with your local cabinetmaker.  I'm on good terms with
      ours, so when he does work like that, it usually cost me about a 12 pack of
      Corona beer.  Well worth it.

      We noticed the discussion regarding the Pietenpol wood kits on the newsgroup, and
      we found that our Pietenpol kit listings needed to be updated. We now have
      all of the Pietenpol kits updated and listed on our website. Thanks for the builders
      who posted their comments which brought this to our attention.

      There already IS a Piet biplane, and I have a copy of the plans in front of me...
      
      The design was done in 1977 by one C. Wille, and appears to be pretty complete.
      The plans came with the original Pietenpol blueprints (NOT bluelines)  I purchased
      about a year ago.  The plan set consists of three sheets, and has 8 to
      10 paragraphs of build instructions, along with disclaimers, etc.  The full size
      rib layout for the lower wing  is included.
      
      I'm not sure whether these can be duplicated, as they are bluelines, nor where
      to locate C. Wille,  but, since there is no copyright symbol, nor rights claimed,
      as with the Pietenpol plans, this would be considered public domain, and may
      be copied at will.
      
      Let me know if anyone is interested, and I'll check into the cost of copying.

| Subject:  | spark plug wires | 
      
      
      Hey listers, for you corvair engine guys, I am having trouble keeping the plug
      
      wires connected. It seems that they are vibrating off or being blown off. 
      Anybody have a suggestion on how to secure them better.? I have 30 hours on the
      
      plane now and the engine is running great. the temps are good and the trim is 
      fantastic. hands off and turns only with the rudder. After every flight I have
      
      to open the cowl to make sure the plug wires are connected. This morning one was
      
      loose. Cheers, Gardiner

      I was just reminded that this Saturday, with both kids home from college, we're

      Mike 
      
      Thanks for your input and advice I appreciate your willingness to share your theoretical
      information. Not to discredit you or you offering, I was really looking
      for empirical information from people that have built and are flying their
      projects to get a handle on what really works rather than theories up substantiated.
      
      
      Dirty side reference to drag: not being any kind of expert I was trying to determine
      which side of the wing  has or is capable of operating best with the greatest
      amount of drag created by attachments and if possible which side of the
      wing could accommodate the most interference without compromising the wings performance.
      
      
      Thanks again for your thoughts and theories. Btw are you an engineer?

      Well, you opened the door for me John, so here goes:
      
      Dihedral: optimum amount performance vs aesthetics? 
      Forget Aesthetics here! Go for performance. Slight dihedral is good in my opinion.
      I will have some on NX992WD. (Stability...good for hands off and long flights.)
      
      Wings best lift and performance configuration for dirty on the bottom or on 
      top surface of the wingor does it matter?
      Don't understand question.
      
      Gap seal on the bottom of the wing using the lift side to hold the seal in 
      place or on top and secured by mechanical means.
      Matters not. You just need to keep the air from flowing between the the two structures.
      Again, using these is a performance gain. (I will have them in some form.)
      
      Hinges home made or piano? Built in gap seal vs any additional Drag.
      Aluminum piano. ALL of mine hinges are these. (See my HINT videos.) Light strong,
      clean. Then gap seal as needed.
      
      Elevator hinges again piano or Piet design? necessity of gap seal at 
      elevators?
      Aluminum piano, use gap seal of some sort.
      
      Tail sections joined for single horn or split as designed for dual 
      horn?
      Split. This allows some differential adjustment if needed to trim plane in flight.
      
      
      Elevator connection for single horn vs interference with rudder 
      operation?
      Split elevators...interference problem solved.

      Well that is confusing as hell.  You guys normally posted a wood package for the
      Pietenpol Air Camper... now you only list four "kits" for the different sections
      of the Pietenpol Air Camper, and none of them are linked to a bill of materials
      that can be accessed and studied in order to confirm what the customer
      is actually ordering.  For example, what is included in that $931 "wing kit" that
      is now listed?  Does that include capstrip for wing ribs?  If so, what are
      guys suposed to do that have already built or acquired ribs?  Search for individual
      items to complete the wings?  Whew!  Not the end of the world, but another
      challenge for an individual that might have just chosen to purchase your old
      wood package.
      
      I'm not sure how well those packages will go over.  If I remember correctly, the
      old wood package was compiled quite some time ago and there are many notes out
      there that reference that "no capstrip or plywood" package.  The contents of
      the original package is right on according to many past builders, and I am enjoying
      the fact that some of the guess work is eliminated when following the
      instruction of veteran builders that have used your wood package.  In fact, it
      is one of the main reasons I purchased your package.  I mean, have you guys tried
      to build one of these from the plans?  
      
      I suppose things can change, but I certainly can't recommend what you are currently
      offering since I have no idea what it includes.  I would like to suggest
      that you offer the original package along with those "kits" you are offering.
      In addition to that... publish a bill of materials (similar to the GN-1 package)
      so people can know what they are looking at.
      
      Perhaps you know best what it is that your customer wants, but it seems like you
      might not want to mess with something that many people have said is a "no-brainer"
      when it comes to wood selection.  Lots of people like to acquire their
      wood in different ways, but I'm sure that many would choose to pay a little extra
      to know they have good quality components cut to the sizes they require.

      How could you not know how to contact C Willie?? To anyone at Brodhead it w
      as hard to avoid him between him flying the Scout and the Aeronca C3 and Go
      d knows what else.  Chad Willie is a permanent fixture . . .

      There already IS a Piet biplane=2C and I have a copy of the plans in front 
      of me...
      
      The design was done in 1977 by one C. Wille=2C and appears to be pretty com
      plete.  The plans came with the original Pietenpol blueprints (NOT blueline
      s)  I purchased about a year ago.  The plan set consists of three sheets=2C
       and has 8 to 10 paragraphs of build instructions=2C along with disclaimers
      =2C etc.  The full size rib layout for the lower wing  is included.
      
      I'm not sure whether these can be duplicated=2C as they are bluelines=2C no
      r where to locate C. Wille=2C  but=2C since there is no copyright symbol=2C
       nor rights claimed=2C as with the Pietenpol plans=2C this would be conside
      red public domain=2C and may be copied at will.
      
      Let me know if anyone is interested=2C and I'll check into the cost of copy
      ing.

      Are you using the WW recommended wires Gardiner? (Accel 5041 from Summit
      Racing). Mine are so hard to remove that I bust knuckles every time I have
      to pull one off, can't imagine one coming off by itself.
      
      Glad your Piet is performing so well, I wish my only problem now was a loose
      spark plug wire.
