I gave up on any hope of more snow this year...(not that I'm complaining!)...and
pulled the skis off and put the wheels back on. But I did fly it once back
in January with my daughter. Here is a quick video of it from my buddy and airport
owner Stan.

Excellent footage Don!!!!! I can relate - was only able to get up twice myself
due to lack of snow and warm temperatures. Took the skis off yesterday and put
on the wheels, should be good to go this weekend off our grass strip, expecting
temps in the 20 deg C range.
Gotta like that virgin snow where no other machine has gone.

I guess the short answer is, "NO." The practical answer is, "Once the
offending uprights are filed and re-enforced, there is no interference."
Every Piet is different, and identifying which sticks should be moved would
be a waste of time. Furthermore, some builders prefer to anchor their ribs
at set dimensions on the spar, while others let them float until the wires
are placed.
Sorry, I do not see your name on your post. It would also be nice to know at
what stage you are in your project, where you are from, and, most
importantly, "How will you handle this part of the construction?"

The mantra here seems to be "build according to the plans". If so, this would indicate
the ribs would be fixed at the locations shown on the plans. If the ribs
are fixed at their proper location, figuring out what sticks to move wouldn't
be a "waste of time", it would help countless future builders get it right
without having to shift rib locations or remove and whittle sticks.
A forum like this is in a position to help builders correct plans errors BEFORE
construction begins. Instead, it seems every new Piet builder must make the same
flawed build that everyone else did and then everyone here will tell them
how to fix it AFTER the fact.
Go through the archives here. Same questions over and over and over.
Seems that building it wrong and then correcting it or rebuilding it is some kind
of "Pietenpol right of passage". The thing one must do to be accepted into
the "club". If someone post a question prior to some stage of building, they
get the "build it according to the plans" or you are "over thinking this".
You asked how am I going to solve the problem. Very easy with the modern tools
we have available. I'm building a Riblett wing. When I designed my rib truss,
I modeled it in 3D CAD and made sure there where no bracing wire to stick interference.

Obviously everyone posting above that had to move ribs and carve on sticks didn't
know how to search the archives properly either.
Instead of making a post that is of little practical help, why not tell us the
search term or phrase that will lead us to the archived threads that will show
us which sticks need moved on the full size rib drawing?

Mario,
If you visit: http://www.matronics.com/search/
....that is where you can easily search the archives. It has instructions
on that page, which will show you how to optimize your search to provide
the best results. No offense, but I assume English may be your second
language, so if the instructions on the site do not come across as clear
please feel free to email me directly and I will do my best to walk you

but cannot remember if it was finished how it is performing.anyway also thought
I'd see if I could sign in from this computer I am switching over to.I'm
going to a different email address so even if I get this posted I'm not sure how
I'll be able to switch my email address in the sit. Raymond

That would be great Kevin. I got to meet a bunch of the california guys last year
when I was working out there. Its great to meet folks in person building or
flying. I am in Austin usually on a weekly basis, one of our biggest customers
right on tech drive. I will give a shout next time I am heading that way.

I've been trying not to get to that part where pieces sit around..
I decided to cover the control surfaces... did the elevators and rudder a couple
of weeks ago and i'm painting the ailerons today..
i decided that rib stitching is more fun than taping..
i've been using the ekobond in the linen color.. its a pleasing color..i find the
blue offensive to my eyes..
it could make me crazier i believe

| Subject: | Re: Wing wires and ribs |
Mr. Piet2015,
You loosely throw around terms such as, "flawed", and "building it wrong."
Those are your terms, not the consensus of other builders, and you assume
that there is something wrong with the original plans, which there is not.
You have been informed as to how others have made "adjustments" and
successfully completed their planes. You have yet to build a wing! Once you
perfect your rib design, and assume that you have solved the "problem", do
you then assume that everyone can perfectly follow your solution and never
experience the same problem? While you are at it, you may also make a
determination as to why the elevator cables rub on the horizontal stab, why
some Piets are tail heavy and some not, what is the perfect deck angle for
gear height, turtle-decks - how tall is too tall, same for cabanes, what's
the correct dihedral, what's the proper thickness for cowling aluminum,
should tailwheel cables be anchored at the rudder bar or mid-way, what
is/are the best cable diameters to use,...etc.
All these are common topics with varied opinions, yet you somehow think the
list owes you an explanation about rib design. You belittle previous
builders who have accepted Mr. Pietenpol's plans as "...right of passage,"
or "being accepted into the club." Has it not occurred to you that the charm
of the Pietenpol is that A LOT is left to personal interpretation and
variation? You are free to modernize your approach all you want...but why
belittle others?
If you have the solution to a problem for which you have been unable to find
a solution, then, YOU be the one to solve, post it, and take credit.
Furthermore, without the decency of even identifying yourself, I doubt if
many of your fellow builders will ever take you seriously!

The mantra here seems to be "build according to the plans". If so, this
would indicate the ribs would be fixed at the locations shown on the plans.
If the ribs are fixed at their proper location, figuring out what sticks to
move wouldn't be a "waste of time", it would help countless future builders
get it right without having to shift rib locations or remove and whittle
sticks.
A forum like this is in a position to help builders correct plans errors
BEFORE construction begins. Instead, it seems every new Piet builder must
make the same flawed build that everyone else did and then everyone here
will tell them how to fix it AFTER the fact.
Go through the archives here. Same questions over and over and over.
Seems that building it wrong and then correcting it or rebuilding it is some
kind of "Pietenpol right of passage". The thing one must do to be accepted
into the "club". If someone post a question prior to some stage of
building, they get the "build it according to the plans" or you are "over
thinking this".
You asked how am I going to solve the problem. Very easy with the modern
tools we have available. I'm building a Riblett wing. When I designed my rib
truss, I modeled it in 3D CAD and made sure there where no bracing wire to
stick interference.

Dave,
Apologies for the delay...I needed to return home and happily wade
through all those receipts!
My relationship with Paugcho is..."special"...so I'm not surprised that
they did not find a receipt. Now that I look at it, I see that my name
is nowhere. I am sorry, though, to hear that Troy is no longer there.
Sign of the times, I guess. The exact description is:
"WHEEL, 21X2.15-NARROW FXD-XL 2000-UP"
There is also on the left margin, a Part Number which is only partially
legible: ??6-731
There is also a line item that suggests that the retail price, as you
see below, is $339.57, for both (in Dec.=9908).
000_1185.jpg
Best wishes in your quest for the =98perfect=99 set up!
Gary

First of all, thanks to everyone who has replied. Great information.
Gary I contacted Paugho but Troy no longer works there and they have no
record of your purchase, so without part numbers they
couldn=C3=A2=82=AC=84=A2t help me. If you happen to have them it
would really help.
Michael, I can make the hubs and with a little guidance could lace and
true them. Where did you get your rims and spokes and what did you do
for your brakes.
Again thanks to all, it=C3=A2=82=AC=84=A2s very helpful
Dave

Mario,
Big diameter wheels will roll over those rough fields a little easier. They
are heavy, though. My wheels weigh close to 25lbs each! I would not want the
rims to be any wider. I understand that the aluminum wheels from Baslee are
considerably lighter...but more expensive. Not sure if that answers your
question...

Today 2 of our EAA Chapter 108 members lost their life in a Piel Emeraude CP-301-A
just off the north end of Ruckel(FL17). No details other than their names
Don Marco and Stan Bloyer. Don was the chapter Flight Adviser. Stan has flown
lots of military stuff. I knew both of them and my youngest son flew with Stan
on several occasions.

Sorry to hear that Jerry.
We lost two of our friends and fellow EAA members off the north end of our runway

feeling.
Prayers for you and your group.

Mine are 3" wide and have seen some pretty rough fields, with no problems.
I don't think you'd need them any wider.

Mountain Piet is being rebuilt by Greg Bacon in Missouri. The wing panel is
ready for covering.
He is hoping to have it at Brodhead this year but a heavy work schedule with
his job may prevent that.
