Just looking at the photo of the Piet that Charlie attached (I assume that is the
plane that you're restoring, Charlie), and noticed the unusual landing gear
configuration. The thing that caught my eye initially was how squat the landing
gear looks, and only later noticed the different arrangement. Almost like a
straight axle split gear.

You were really well-spoken Greg and gave a nice synopsis of what building

Hey Piep (Charlie)..
How's that 'ol Piet coming along? I bid on that one up in Oscaloosa, but you won
her. That was before I bought my GN-1 recently..

Hi Larry,
Glad to hear you got your airplane. Congratulations! So far I have put in about
500 hours labor on the Piet. The engine also needed to be overhauled and I
will have it finished in the next couple of days, so hope to have it in the air
in the next couple of weeks.
The landing gear question....I think the guy that original builder tried to modify
a cub style gear to put on the airplane. It is much wider than any other
Piet I have seen and with the extra bracing definitely weighs more. I will see
how it does, but will probably change it back to the original gear.
The bigger problem is the tail. The vertical stab/rudder are over 6 ft. tall!
Early in the Piet's life, it was ground looped in a 19 knot xwind and the owner
blamed the small tail. I think it will probably be one of the first things
to be rebuilt. Also, I think most Piets weigh in at about 650lbs. empty. This
one is 825lbs. Not sure where all the extra weight came from, but I will reweigh
it after putting the Continental 65 back on the airplane.
As a side note: I found out from some old newsletters that Pietenpol afficianodos
are sometimes referred to as "Peeps". As it turns out, my wife's favorite
candy is the easter marshmallow chicken (Peep). Since the airplane is painted
with Army colors, I decided it needed some nose art. I have had the Peep chicken
redrawn with goggles, a scarf, and leather flying helmet and the logo changed
to "Piep" hence the name. Once the nose art is installed, I will post a
picture.
Thanks again to everyone for their help and suggestions.
Charlie

Seems to me there was a reason stated a while back why Gorilla Glue is not
good. I'll stick with T-88. Resourcinol is also good for the purists. Ca
sein for the real purist. I think casein and cardboard for the leading edg
e and gussets would work pretty good.
I hope no one takes the casein and cardboard comment seriously.

Harvey,
My gorilla glue comment was made completely in jest, just to get Jack's
goat. I'd never use the stuff in a structural application (search the
archives for all the derisive comments made about gorilla glue). I
think most people have been "not amused" when they used it, though there
are some reports of success. YMMV.
Clearly, the solution for my fuel tank patch is the Pro-Seal from Vans.
Cheers!

This is the first wooden aircraft I have built and its great. This site ha
s helped a bunch. I have completed several ribs and am curious. Do I need
to apply any varnish yet to protect from moisture etc. Or should I just w
ait until the entire wing is ready? Thanks.

Subject: | Re: Ribs/Varnish |
I waited until the wing was all together, You will probably want to do
some final block sanding to smooth our the joints between your
leading/trailing edges and the ribs. It would definitely be easier to
varnish the areas inside the gussets at this point though. I used over
3 quarts of spar varnish on my wings (one thinned coat, one full
strength), so when you get to that point you might find it more
economical to just buy a gallon.

I masked off the areas I intended to glue (LE, TE, etc.) and applied spar varnish
to each rib. Not sure that it was necessary, or if I would do it that way again,
but it definitely is easier to get to those little nooks when you can hold
the ribs in your hands.

Neat story about the 'peeps'..
I just cleaned up the flight deck a bit over last few days. Got rid of all the
velcro and hung the motor (in my garage). Note my new "avionics suite" (old garmin
gps). Tried to go for the good ol' JN-4 look w/the control sticks in lieu
of the silly bicycle grips. Found wooden balls for the throttles at the local
farts&crafts store. I guess all I have to scrounge for now is a carb heat box
and a prop, before assembly of the machine. Got all the nuts&bolts, gaskets,
supplies, etc from AS&S.
I'm not much in a hurry...will snoop around online for a prop to prop up via the
world wide web.. probably just buy a new carb air box .. (will attempt a few
photos) .. lar
