Jake,
I vote for the helmet box. I wish I had made mine bigger, but was constrai
ned by being a purist, so I had to stick to the plans.

I couldn't see any reason to build a hatbox when all of that area under the
turtledeck
behind the pilot seat was screaming perfectly good storage space.
I decided to glue a 1/16" thick piece of birch plywood back there as a floo
r using the
existing diagonal piece of spruce as a support for the floor. My sketch s
hows the plywood
on top of the longerons but actually it is below the longerons. (never did
excel in art)
You have to be judicious in how much weigh you put back there of course but
you can really
pack a lot of items back there as long as they aren't lead bricks;)
Knowing Jake's ingenuity I would bet he could install some kind of 'lowerin
g floor' device
to use that area behind his wicker seat and still keep the look of a solid
wood turtledeck covering.
Of course there is always Velcro...........!

Mike:
I am doing something very similar in that I put a floor in all the way
back to the first former. I covered the bottom of that floor with tin
foil which became the ground plane for my radio antenna. My question is
this: Do you have to have something on the sides to prevent the "hats"
in the hat box from poking into the side fabric or do the turtledeck
formers take care of this?
You can see my floor with the radio antenna in this photo. Sorry,
that's the best one I have available at the office. Just ignore the man
behind the curtain.

Having that much extra storage space does seem very appealing... Thx Mike...

Assembled again,ready for inspection. It is in my sons shop for
inspection then we will move it to the airport. It is on the heavy side
at 805 pounds and weight and ballance is within range. It has a
continental 0-200 so 100 hp should handle it good.We are pleased with
it. Life is good. Bob

Put fabric inside the stringers as well , that would keep the outer fabric
protected from all but 18inch needles or that piece of welding rod you migh
t want to carry around, and it would be light weight too.

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: thinking outside the hatbox.......
That's looking fantastic Tom--great work you're doing.
I've never had any issues with things poking into the fabric in my storage
area under the turtledeck Tom and yes, the stringers help to keep items
away from the fabric.- I suppose if you stuffed the area full you might
see a bump or protrusion in the fabric but you can see that while you're
loading.- Most of what I take rests well on the wood floor of that storag
e
area just fine.

The Piet looks great. I like the colors. I hope to get mine inspected soon. Mine
came in at 810 with the O-235 Lycoming. Just thinking we may get 4 or 5 Piets
in the air this year.
