Like Don, I carry Liability and Ground Hull insurance on my Pietenpol. You
aren't allowed to participate in EAA Young Eagle flights if you don't have
Liability insurance, and ground hull is quite cheap. I have my insurance
with Falcon, the EAA's carrier. Cost is a little over $400 per year.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Insurance
At the beginning of this year I started a new job as a loss control
consultant for an insurance agency. I handle safety and compliance for our
larger commercial accounts. I'm pretty far from the agent side, but our
agents do write policies for aircraft. In fact they write my airplanes.
They write any airplane all the way back to 1903. There is no required
level of insurance to carry, not even liability. Unless a specific locale
might require it. Non-movement hull insurance can be purchased for a "not
finished" homebuilt. The premium really isn't too bad and you either
purchase an "agreed value" or you can purchase an amount that is equivalent
to your receipts as long as a total loss would not exceed a set amount.
Insurance can get complicated but there are some good policies out there and
for a small investment it's not a bad idea. In addition to having liability
coverage, I know when I head out into storm country in a couple of weeks and
leave it out at night unde!
r trees, it's nice to know I have that non-movement hull coverage that is
pretty reasonably priced. "In movement" hull coverage, however, is pretty
pricey for homebuilts and can be hard to justify.

Members:
Semper Fi and hope your 4th was with family and friends!
The plans call for metal fittings on the tail section to be 13 ga. 5/8" wide steel.
Recommendations as to proper steel? (i.e. 4130 or local hardware steel or
what is others using?)
Jack - Can you resend the hinge diagrams/drawings and pictures for bending them
up. I filed them away for safe keeping and can't find them! I am at the stage
of attaching my vertical fin and stabilizer and want to make these hinges. Truly
need your prints and 'how too' diagrams.
Lastly, any thoughts or ideas of what other have used/done to allow for some front
fin offset? Should one consider this modification as part of trim?

Ken,
"Jack" as in Textor? I used Vi Kapler's cast aluminum hinges. I believe
Jim Markle used the type of hinge you are describing.

Jack, mine is also $400 per year. I had a claim when my hangar collapsed on the
Piet about 6 years ago. Somewhere around $8,000. Very simple, they asked me
to write up an estimate at a reasonable hourly rate plus materials. That was
my estimate. Overall it worked out very well.

| Subject: | Routed Fuse slats |
Hi All:
I have Keri-Ann's door plans, and it shows on there that you can route the
cross members and some of the fuse pieces with some box bits to save a bit
of weight. I have tried to do this with a 1/2" box bit and have had
reasonable success, but I have one diagonal that wandered a bit from center,
and I want to make a center jig for my trimmer router to get a good, center
line on the rest of the members.
I made one tonight with a 1/8" thick washer with a 1/2" center hole, and
attached it to the router. Looked great, and the clearance was very close to
the hole in the Washerb ut it was free from touching.... until I turned it
on and the vibration kicked the bit over just a touch and "Whack" there went
one edge of the Box Bit...
So, for you guys that routed out the centers on the fuse sticks, what did
you use to jig up the router? I decided to do this after the fuse sides were
made, so if you did it before the fuse was actually glued together, I guess
that would'a been a better option, but not one for me...
I am thinking that I might just do the inside rails of the other side and
call it quits, since I have only routed part of the fuse on the inside side
of the left fuse side... I'll keep it even, and perhaps skip the outside of
the fuse... However, I thought it was a neat way to save a bit of weight
(maybe a very little bit....)
Suggestions?
Thanks.
Mark
