Scott,
Take two aspirin, drink two cups of coffee, and check out the elevator and fingers
in the cold harsh light of a new day. Bacchus is not the god of carpentry,

I saw a Model A school bus being restored yesterday in Amarillo and the engine
had a Miller Hi-speed head on it. I was wondering if anybody tried such a thing
on their airplane. I expect it is too much extra weight. the thought of bolting
such a big hunk of iron on the nose of a plane and it flying still amazes
me. as does the thought that mr. Pietenpol did so much with so little. anyway
it was an interesting piece of history.
also saw a re-built Ford truck with 2 flathead V-8's in it that was specially built
from the factory to haul sections of new B-24's to plants around the US
for assembly including to Tulsa to where my Mom was inspecting parts of them.what
amazing things they developed in such a short time.just another small portion
of the great effort the country came together for during WW-2. Raymond do

I served in the Navy back in the 70's. Was an AT (avionics technician) and a flight
deck trouble shooter for a squadron attached to USS Enterprise. When it
was time for me to get out the Captain offered me a tour of duty with the Blue
Angels. I declined and went home. I still kick myself in the pants for not
accepting that opportunity. But things went pretty well for as they are and
now I'm building a pietenpol. Life is good.

The 1932 Glider Manual shows the fuselage on the Air Camper as being 13' 5" long.
When the sides are built flat and then bowed from front to rear, the fuselage
will become shorter. How much longer does the upper and lower longerons need
to be in order for the overall length to be correct after the sides are bent
in?
Thanks Craig

Craig,
I remember that part of my project with fondness at the anticipation someday
just being able to sit in my fuselage, but you are over thinking it. Just
cut to length and bend them together. Mr. Pietenpol has already taken that
in to account...

Hi Gary
Not over thinking. Common drafting practice it to show the side view of an object
in it's assembled form. The 1932 Air Camper drawings are in this fasion. They
are not showing the fuselage side as a flat pattern. The dimensions shown are
from face of firewall to back of stern post with both sides in their arched
position. In order to get this dimension correct, the sides will need to be around
1" longer. If we build the sides 13' 5" flat and then bend them in the distance
from firewall to stern post will be around 13' 4". Not a big deal, but
the plans show 13' 5".
Craig

Subject: | Big and Tall Steel Fuselage |
While waiting on my plans to get here, I can't keep from thinking about this build.
Putting everything together from Chris/Catdesigns' thoughts on making fuselage
deeper and Andrew Pietenpol's suggestion to make fuselage 2" longer in the
front and others emailing me saying 3" would be even better, I threw together
this little sketch.
I tried to keep basic lines the same so the alteration wouldn't be drastically
noticeable.
What do you guys think?
