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.

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. When I retire
I will!

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:).)

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.

HI Gary,
It sounds good but I thought you were going to Montana to your fathers place when
you retired. You will probably like flying the Piet in Texas better than Montana
though. Congratulations.

Hi Kevin,
Too bad it would be nice to have you come to one. Looks like we are going to lose
one of our Northern Cal guys to you in Texas before too long. I'm going to
have to get up to Cool real soon here before he flying his Piet all over the country.

I lost count after about the first 5-6 cases of beets. You also have to include
the many beets consumed during Brodhead.
Also, if you ever have visitors to your hangar you'll.....hey wait a minute....oops,

In 1986 when I was a young and impressionable youth of 13 and embarking on the
"Pietenpol Path", I believe it was Francis Saunders who told me the very same
thing. At the time I thought he was just pulling my leg because I was young, but
scales don't lie, and Mr. Pietenpol's airplanes are always the lightest in the
crowd.

rigging the wing to hold it while I monkey with the mountings as a nice

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.

Use some seat cushions/pillows to adjust height.

Tennessee. Until then, I simply wouldn't take my J-3 out of the hangar if
the wind was blowing more than 20 knots. Once I moved to Texas, I realized
that if I only flew when the winds was less than 20 knots, I would almost

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,

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. Once I moved to Texas, I realized that if I
only flew when the winds was less than 20 knots, I would almost never fly.
Just remember, the reason it is so windy in Texas is, Oklahoma sucks.
Also remember to flush twice since North Carolina is SO far away.....

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.

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,

Sure hope I don't miss a Summer of flying. 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)

Welcome to the wonderful world of Pieters, Bob. Sounds like you'll have a
nice airplane (I'm partial to wire spoked wheels and Continental engines).
Come to Brodhead this summer if you can.
