    Hello First I would like to know, which fuselage I should go with, knowing that I'm 6'6" tall and weigh 230lbs? Second, I would like to build a 2-seater Parasol at the best a Pietenpol look a like. And third, I would feel very comfortable with Aluminium tubing riveted by Gussets together. And forth, it has to be light as possible, targeted emptyweight should be around 480 to 500lbs! Does the market offer such an craft with the nostalgic look of the Pietenpol?

    Subject: Tie Downs at Sun n Fun
    About Tie Downs Most tie downs failed where the plane was in the direct path of the tornado. We had a mixture of dog screws, aluminum plates with angled anchors, and the angle iron ones with 4 steel anchors at different angles. All pulled out. Across the field, we did see a few broken ropes on planes that were on concrete and had perm tie down anchors, but the planes flipped anyway. We saw a lot of the Claws that failed, they simply bent toward the ends and pulled straight out. In a meeting with Rod Hightower (EAA Pres) last night, he told us about the action in the Warbird area where he rode out the storm. 4 T-6's were tied down all in a row. The one on the left shot across the pad and ended in a ditch with prop, wing and tail damage. The second one (Rod's) did not move or was damaged in any way. The 3rd went about 150 yards and ended in a smaller ditch. the 4th left and hit 6 or 7 other planes including P51s. Aaron Tippen's Helio Courier which was to the far left flipped over Rod's T-6 and landed upside down where the 3rd and 4th T-6s were parked just seconds before. Rod said that about 80 witnessed the DC3 "fly" over the Mustangs and land on the other side unhurt. The Cessna Caravan flipped twice. We learned a lot from the storm and have a meeting May 5th in Oshkosh to discuss and plan. We need to anchor down the Porta Potties as they caused great damage flying across the grounds (many with (blue) people in them trying to get out of the rain and hail). No more of the umbrellas that stick down through a table as they caused a lot of damage to property, luckily no one was impaled. We are going to look at tied downs. Better anchors on the vendors tents. The milk jugs full of water hanging on a rope did not help much. The CNN news article about 70 people trapped in a collapsed building was false. It was in fact the back of the Fly-Market tent that blew out and everyone simple left through the front door. Frank Metcalfe (Big Piet on top of the pile) said there is a YouTube video about testing many types of tie downs using an engine hoist for the pulling. I have not seen it yet, but in the Florida sandy soil, the dog screw anchor does fairly well if the top does not break off at the crimp. Phil Smith talked to someone that said he saw the Piets destroyed. He said that one of them lifted up well above the others and started spinning around. Milliseconds later the other two came up at the same time and they all went together spinning around then dropped to the ground in the fameous PietnPile. I wonder about this report as the rain was so heavy that visibility was only about 10 feet. Looks like the 2 Big Piets will fly again. Bruce will have to have both wings center section, cowling, intake manifold, prop and landing gear among other things. Frank will need one wing and has a lot of internal damage on the steel fuselage. It will be uncovered and several cross members replaced, rudder and other things. Gardiner will need 2 wings, fuselage, landing gear, center section, tail feathers, prop and motor mount. The only thing that really survived intact was the Corvair engine and the watch on the dash. No fuel leaked on any of the Piets.

    Thank you very much Barry for such a comprehensive overview of the various tie-down used at SNF and sharing EAA's new President Rod Hightower's observ ations. A very insightful post---and as sickening as it is to read about the damage I'm very thankful you too the time to write this and post it fo r all of us to read. Rod sounds like a common sense guy and in reading about his touring of all the EAA Chapters that he can get to is very encouraging too. He seems lik e one of us and hopefully will continue to be so and serve EAA proudly and our needs as well. Mike C. do not archive

    From: Ryan Mueller <rmueller23@gmail.com>
    Well, to recap, you only asked two questions: "First I would like to know, which fuselage I should go with, knowing that I'm 6'6" tall and weigh 230lbs? (question 1) Second, I would like to build a 2-seater Parasol at the best a Pietenpol look a like. And third, I would feel very comfortable with Aluminium tubing riveted by Gussets together. And forth, it has to be light as possible, targeted emptyweight should be around 480 to 500lbs! Does the market offer such an craft with the nostalgic look of the Pietenpol?" (question 2) The answer to the first question is negated by the fact that you want to build a Pietenpol look-a-like, so short vs long is irrelevant....as you just said you don't want to build an actual Pietenpol (although at 6'6" you'd probably want the "Corvair" fuselage). The answer to your second question, does the market offer a Pietenpol look-alike built of aluminum tubing riveted together with an empty weight of 480 to 500 lbs.....no. If you are dead set on having an aluminum tubing, pop-riveted construction parasol you might check with Robert Baslee of Airdrome Airplanes. They primarily do WWI/pre-war replicas built with that construction method, although I don't know offhand if they have any two-seaters. They had a website, although it looks like they may not have paid the bill this month, as it redirects to their providers page...

    Erkki, My "nope" answer was in response to your last question: Does the market offer such an craft with the nostalgic look of the Pietenpol?" I'm not aware of any Pietenpol lookalikes, especially one made from aluminum tubing. There is a single-place parasol design that is built from extruded aluminum angle, called the Texas Parasol. It bears some resemblance to the Pietenpol. Attached is a spec sheet. It looks as though it would give you everything you're looking for, EXCEPT the 2-seater requirement. 2 seats, under 500 pounds empty weight, AND looking like a real airplane is a tall order to fill. The plans and builder's manual for the Texas Parasol are available for free here: http://www.matronics.com/photoshare/cavelamb@earthlink.net.02.11.2006/index.html Bill C.

    Subject: Gilmer, Tx
    OK.Show of hands..Who's been to Gilmer, Tx..Yes, I know Kevin, you have been there (you can put your hand down)..but, who else? So what are the odds that you put out a Marklegram that you're going to be in Gilmer, Tx, and you want to know if there are any Piet builders near... and one pops up! Robert Caldwell is a Texas Gentleman who keeps his Stinson, and part of his Piet in Gilmer. The rest is back at home base in Holly Lake, Tx, about 20 miles away. When you go to see anyone in Texas, the first order of business is to go git some Texas BBQ. Since it was a bit windy, Robert and I went to git the obligatory BBQ, chat a bit, then return to the airport to check the winds. They had died down significantly, so we jumped into his sturdy Stinson and flew to Holly Lake. There a friend, with a newly updated Tri-pacer, loaned his jeep and we drove to Robert's house and workshop to see the rest of the project. Robert is an excellent craftsman, with some very cool ideas about the pilot seat.that's all I'm going to say for now. You'll have to wait until he finishes and he and Axel barnstorm to Brodhead. Don't fail to check out Picture #4..It's a Corvair that hasn't even broken its cra-..Wait a minute..I made a deal with Jack, and Rule #1: The Deal's The Deal. Signing off from beautiful Gilmer, Texas, Gary from Cool, Ca

    Thanks Barry..... very nice and detailed report. sad to see stuff like this happen but good to see eaa trying to learn from it. I stood on the grounds of OSH one time (many years ago) and watched a waterspout skip across lake winnebago - all the time wondering what damage that would do one mile or so closer...... scary stuff but part of life's reality I guess........ -------- Jake Schultz - curator, Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=336333#336333
