Well Lowell, I think you get the award for "most calm reaction to a very aggravating
set of circumstances". That kind of attitude will come in handy as you progress
through the build process.
Be sure to share some photos as you put your Monopoly board together.

I must concurr, the kits are not made ip of the correct materials.
-
The tail section kit from Aircraft Spruce and Speciality lacked quite a few
pieces of material for proper length and size.

Well, I was puzzled when you referred to the "plywood kit". So I took a loo
k at the ACS website, and found what I assume you ordered. Yowza - $1100 wo
rth of plywood sheets! I guess the most important thing is that disclaimer
at the bottom, where ACS says to refer to the plans and verify sizes and qu
antities prior to ordering.
How did the list maker come up with 5 full sheets of 1/16" ply? (I calculat
e one and a half sheets for the whole plane)
And why is one sheet mahogany, and the other four Birch?
And where did the 3/32" ply thickness come from? The only place that I can
recall seeing 3/32" ply called for in the plans is for some spacers in the
3-piece wing (maybe a couple of square feet). In the Pietenpol plans, the f
uselage sides and gussets, and seatbacks and panels and empennage gussets a
ll call for 1/8" ply - not 3/32".
And what's the half sheet of 1/4" marine ply for?
Makes me wonder what aircraft that plywood list is actually for. I seem to
recall hearing something about some wood kits actually being suited more to
the GN-1 than the "real" Air Camper. I haven't seen GN-1 plans, so I can't
say if that's the case.
Once again, it seems that it's always a good idea to work out the materials
list on your own, rather than trusting someone else's quantities.

The plan is to continue with the meet.- We understand that we probably wo
n't have too many planes flying in, but Charlie has his Piet based there so
we will have at least that plane.- We'll still have a great time talking
Pietenpols, sharing photos and having lunch.- Hope you can make it!=0A

I only get one day off a week, and since I have been in California the last 9 months,
it has managed to rain about 70% of the time, and only for that day.I am
starting to think I am cursed!

The good folks at Aircraft Spruce monitor this list, so likely they may pipe up
and put they're 2 cents in.
With all the times the "approved" parts list has been floated on the list I'm surprised
they haven't adopted it. It's in the archives if you search for it.

Hey Guys & Gals,
I have spent the last two days trying to get my turtle deck to look right. I have
been through this list and West Coast Piet and have seen some beautiful work,
but I can't find a good explanation on how to measure and cut to get it as
straight as possible. Help needed!
I have been through a bunch of poster board trying different methods. I know there
has to be an easier way.

That's all you spent is 2 days,that's it just 2 days? I don't know about
anyone else but getting a turtle to pose that long, well no wonder you're
having difficultities with that part. Actually that has to be one of the
more challenging and time consuming parts of the build its a real difficult
section to build rebuild build again then build it some more. Truth is I
doubt there is an easier way and once you think you got it you're still not
going to love it

I've seen a few different versions of the wood list, and I believe that one of
them is what the "spruce kit" is based on. But I wasn't aware that there was a
"plywood kit" offered by Aircraft Spruce. I guess it's relatively new. Just not
sure where the quantities and thicknesses came from. Apparently not from the
Pietenpol plans, but MAYBE it may be connected to the Grega plans? Anyone out
there got a set of GN-1 plans to check against?

Two ideas come to mind when it comes to forming curved shapes.
Google sketchup with an unfold plugin. It is free to down load and is painful to
learn to use. But it is so very easy to draw with.
I bought a copy of turbocad platinum 15 for about three hundred dollars.
It has a superb 3d function with an unfold in it.
Once you have the program learned you want want to go anywhere else.
