    Subject: 1" or 7/8"
    From: helspersew@aol.com
    Hi Mark, When I was at Brodhead a few years ago, the "Last Original" was sitting in front of it's hangar. I purposely measured the fuselage stringers, because when I was carefully inspecting the plane, it jumped-out at me when I looke d at that part, that it looked like it was less than 1". I distinctly remem ber that the stringer was 7/8" across the top, but I can't conclusively rem ember the other vertical dimension. I am glad I got to see that airplane, because I have not seen it since. It might be there but the owner doesn't bring it out. Dan Helsper Puryear, TN

    Attaboy, Chuck! Once again, I commend you for your attitude. I'll bet you'll find that this set will go together about twice as fast as the original, and your satisfaction will be ten times greater than if you wondered about those spars eveery time you hit a little turbulence. I was talking with Gene Rambo yesterday about the fact that even when being very careful with making patterns, you still often throw out the first part you make. He was talking about making aluminum engine cowlings. I told him that I had to make my lower cowling twice, even though the cardboard pattern fit perfectly. If you are not willing to reject parts for quality reasons, you have no business building an airplane.

    Hi Jim - A trip to CA would be beyond cool (not Cool, where Gary lives, until he moves to God's country - that being East Texas, of course), but I don't have enough vacation for the 3 week odyssey the trip would entail.

    Hi Mark - Since my expertise is limited I offer only one criteria when it comes to design and construction questions: would I be comfortable test-flying your airplane considering the change? If 7/8" stringers are your only deviation from the plans I wouldn't hesitate. (Of course, if you let me test fly your airplane that may call your judgment into question, but that's not the point:).) -------- Kevin &quot;Axel&quot; Purtee NX899KP Austin/Georgetown, TX Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=340778#340778

I have heard, but can't confirm, that Mr. Pietenpol measured 1" but then ran the saw down the middle of the line, rather than just to the outside. Subtract two half-kerfs from 1", and you might well end up with 7/8. Of course, the plans show what he measured, not what he cut. FWIW. Owen

Just need to put the wings on and get her annual-ed/signed off. I'm hoping to keep the drive inside an hr of Garland (east suburb, dallas)..Any ideas? (attachment pic) p.s.

    Michael, I made some fairly elaborate supports for my wings that allowed me to make infinite adjustments of dihedral and washout (neither of which are really necessary) and to rig the wings straight and true (which is absolutely essential) by turning nuts on threaded rods and locking them with jam nuts, as shown in the photo below: Gene Rambo and I did the same thing on his Pietenpol, but just clamped a 2x4 to the uprights with C-clamps to accomplish the same thing with much less trouble. It's just not as easy to make precise adjustments. Once you have the wing more or less in place, it is useful to have a surveyor's transit to accurately measure the height of the spars at the tips, compared to the longerons which you have painstakingly leveled (remember, building an airplane is just a series of alignment exercises). Using this process, I was able to get my wingtips within 1/16" of each other, and the plane flies straight and true.

    Mike- I trammeled my wings before I put them on the airplane. Since you've already got your leading edge on it might resist you squaring the wing up with your drag and anti-drag braces but I'd square them up before you put them on the airplane. Just measure the X-distance between rib bays as you tighten your drag and a nti-drag cables to make sure those diagonal distances are the same so you know your wing is sq uare before you safety wire the turnbuckles and mount the wing to the plane. I can come over and we can work out the wing tip washout and I can verify m easurements with you from bolt-holes to bolt holes. I set mine up in the level flight position with the top of the longeron lev el. A digital angle finder is helpful in setting up flat or dihedral if desired. You may want some weight in the tail so the plane doesn't want to tip forwa rd on you while working on it. Mike C.

    I always suspected Gary was a little too rational to live in California forever. You'll like Texas, Gary. It will give you a whole new understanding of the word "crosswind". I remember when I moved to Texas after learning to fly in Tennessee. Until then, I simply wouldn't take my J-3 out of the hangar if the wind was blowing more than 20 knots.

    That's perfect, Jack! In this picture you can see the tall trees on the right.

I haven't logged any time since 1985, but almost all my time is in tail draggers, and I used to spend hours shooting t&g's, practicing x-wind landings..little did I know.

    In the olden days I took two sets of conduit that would slide into one an other, I think , 1/2" and 3/4", and with a hacksaw cut one end to fit the wing fitting and the other end of the larger conduit, I sawed a couple slots and with a hose clamp that held the wing in the exact position with infinite adjustments, the lower end of this telescoping pair of conduits cut and drilled to fit the lower mounting. With 4 of these temporary struts I adjusted the wing to it's proper location , tightened the hose-clamps. Cut and assembled the 4 spars to the final dimensions of the conduit's length and wash-out and dihedral when required. Two Piets are still flying with this type of Bernie engineering. And to this day these conduits help hold up many flowering bushes when wrapped gently using strips of old Dacron, Pieti Lowell Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=340844#340844

    Mike. I also did the cross strut wires after the 4 struts were assembled and welded and drilled and installed and with about 2" of dihedral, with the clearance holes drilled in the ends of the struts you may loose a little dihedral.
