Looks like friday is going to be a fairly windy day. Forcast is saying 15-20mph
winds out of the SW, almost a direct headwind. That should add about 2 hrs
to my trip down to Lee Bottoms fly-in, counting an extra fuel stop or two. Mike
C., are you still planning on flying down on friday? Saturday looks a little
better, unfortunatly I have to head home by 2pm or so to get back for work
on sunday.
Hope to see some of you down there,
Shad

Just my $.02: I think they looked more traditional, as called out in the plans,
very strong, and they have a smaller profile with smoother edges to prevent cutting
into the bungees. I had the equipment in the shop, just add $5 in rivets.
And lastly, they are fun to make, I love to wake the neighbors at midnight
with the sound of rivetting!

Is the person who recently acquired their Piet plans and lives in the Baton Rouge
area on this list yet? If everything goes as planned I will be working for
Atlantic Southeast at their Baton Rouge maintenance facility sometime soon, probably
late October, or early November. I bought plans in April or May, but
haven't started anything yet.

I just glued the leading edge. I did put antichafe tape on the rear of the

Most of the guys I knew that were going have bailed for various reasons. Last I
heard I still have one friend who is flying up from Tennessee in his Grumman
Widgeon and another coming in from Michigan in his Pacer.

Hi Mike,
That's probably me that you are referring to, although I have had my plans since
1995. My residence is about 4 mi north of BTR, although I travel back and forth
between Baton Rouge and Urbana, IL quite frequently. My wife and I have
a house in Urbana, at least until she graduates nursing school in December and
we get the house there sold. My Piet project is in Urbana for now, although
I only have my tail section built. I started building it just a year or so ago.
Let me know once you are moved down and settled in and we'll get together and talk
airplane stuff.

As I have never done any riveting...what tools are required? Can this type of riveting
be done by hand, or are machines needed? (of some sort) Are the rivets
steel? I think your brackets look great and with the comment about the bungees
being a little better protected, I am very interested.
Thanks.

So i did a couple of searches on here and found what looked like people are using
both 3/32 and 1/8 stainless steel cables, so my question in what is the common
that most are using?
Thanks in advance@@

If I recall correctly, the prints show all cables as 3/32 with the exception of
the cables connecting the stick and the elevator bellcrank which are 1/8. I
don't remember what the "Jenny style gear" prints call out. Some decide to utilize
larger in some areas. If I missed a spot, I'm sure someone will point it
out [Wink]
