I've been searching the archives to find the dimensions of the aft fuselage gusset
without any luck. Am I missing something in the plans?

I measured the 18-inch dimension from the plans as 1.5 inches. Top dim of
gusset = .25 and bottom = .5. 18/1.5 = top/.25 = 3 inches. Bottom is twice
that or 6 inches.

Forgot to pull out the plans when I got back in to town this weekend....
On the 3-piece wing drawing, top left, there is a notation stating "CENTER
SECTION SPAR 3/4" SPRUCE". Look directly over to the top right and you will
see a notation stating "WING PANEL SPAR 3/4" SPRUCE".

No Curt, the dimensions are not in the plans for that gusset. I don't recall any
previous discussion about it, though.
You can just scale the plans (which I think is what Chuck was saying). It's not
that fussy.
I used 7" for the bottom dimension - matching the gusset on the bottom (see attached
photo), and the top was about 4 inches or so.

Looking good, Kelly. I remember that as one of the real highpoints of the
build process - for the first time you have something 3 dimensional that
begins to look like an airplane to even a casual observer. Soon you can sit
in it and make airplane noises (don't be ashamed - anyone who says he never
did that is lying).

Hey all,
I would like to pass on this update on this months work I've done to my
project. So far it is going well and I am meeting my personal goals.
It was such an advantage building a mock-up of the piet before jumping into
the spruce. If anyone hasn't planned to do so, I highly recommend doing it.

List,
Normally my company does not send me around the country, but I do go on
occasion. Last time they sent me to East Texas, I ended up buying a lot on
an airstrip, thanks to Piet Builder, Robert Caldwell!
This time I went to Indiana. After putting out the Word that I was looking
for local Pietenpolers, I got a few responses, and chose the closest one to
the town where I was working. It was about an hour's drive to Elizabethtown,
very near Columbus, Indiana. After GPS'ing my way down the country roads, I
turned into a driveway, up a hill, and one glance thru the open barn doors
told me I was at the right address.
There sat Larry Morlock's almost done Piet!
Larry Morlock 1.jpg Larry Morlock 4.jpg
Besides the interesting fact that Larry's Piet now sports Douwe's old 'A'
engine.
Larry Morlock 2.jpg
It also has a somewhat interesting history: Larry bought it as a project in
'92, although certain aspects of the plane led him to believe that it
actually had some air time. It's an earlier version, with external aileron
cables, but the former owner had died in an auto accident, and no one seemed
to know anything about the plane. We can give Larry a little slack for
taking so long to get to this point, as he also owns a V-duster, and a
Bonanza. He has been to Brodhead, and many of you have probably met him, and
may know that he is very proud of having retired from Cummins Diesel, and he
is equally proud of the philanthropic benefit that Cummins has had to his
hometown, Columbus, Ind. Although he did not show me any airstrip lots for
sale, he did show me the oldest ice cream parlor in Columbus, close to 100
yrs old!
Larry Morlock 10.jpg Larry Morlock 6.jpg
Larry's last words, as we exited the barn, were, "You didn't Markle
anything, did you?" I explained that, if I had, and admitted it, it wouldn't
be Markle-ing.

Wow, neat trip Gary! Isn't visiting other Piet builders the most fun!? And what
great people.
The thought of so many Piets being completed and flying in the next few years (some
sooner!) is really encouraging....
