    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. Bill C.

    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 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=314408#314408

    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.

    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. Pete Anderson

    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. -------- Mark Chouinard Wings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on Fuselage Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=314450#314450 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/fp02062009a001k1_102.jpg

    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 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=314451#314451 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/0102a_158.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/0101a_163.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/dscf4040_149.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/0101_831.jpg
