Jim I plan on riveting and sealing just like an RV- something wing. I'll
need Gary's rivet puller at some point down the line but I'll probably come
on over and get it because I haven't seen you in while.

Chris your tank looks good. I liked the picture of the center baffle. So now
are you going to seal it or have it welded?
if you need Gary's rivet puller send me a note and I will ship it to you.

Ray,
I=99m in the middle of installing the Dan Weseman 5th Bearing on
the front of my Corvair, so will be down for a couple more weeks.
Light weight fabric is what I used, glued on with Stewarts Eco-Bond and
painted with latex primer and paint (Kelly Moore).

Gary, what weight fabric did you use on your plane? How about some of
you other folks? Anyone using the light material, or all the medium?
I just took the EEA Fabric class this weekend at Watsonville, excellent

By way of inspiration...
Snuck in another flight yesterday in a tiny break from all this nasty
weather. Was 50 degrees when I took off, so only put on my flying jacket,
but got cold after about 45 minutes. Didn't see any Huns so I basically
spent the time buzzing my house and running the engine at full rpm to break
it in. Wanted to visit some grass fields in the area, but they were
probably too wet so didn't want to take any chances, so basically am flying
off the 40 hrs.
You can see the new cooling eyebrows, which work great, but ruin the
aesthetic lines of the cowling from some angles, oh well...
Busted 20 hours, so halfway there!!
Cruise at 2300 SEEMS to be averaging around 70.
Keep on building, it's worth it!!

Gary,
You'd better offer Chris's daughter a ride in you plane so she "gets"
why her dad is doing all this work.
Chris - I see no reason she can't be pulling some rivets for you.
You'll have to get one of those pneumatic pullers or put some short
cheater bars on a hand puller, though.
Me, I'm trying to figure out how to get my 6 yros to build something
with me. They are more than capable of placing gussets on the ribs if I
was sure they wouldn't get the epoxy anywhere near their hair/face.
Actually, they did a great job tie-dying t-shirts last weekend, so maybe
my fears are unfounded. I just need to find some size xx-small latex
gloves...
Carry on!
Dan

Thanks everybody!
I used the light weight 1.8 oz superflight stuff....i bought everything right from
stewart systems.
I remember Mike Cuys words when his skeletal plane was mocked up and he said it
took a year to finish from that point....i thought no way, its almost done......well
i had mine all mocked up OVER a year ago and im still not done, but very
close. So, just keep on truckin!! Im shooting for Brodhead, but it may be a
stretch flying off the 40 hrs.
I set a goal of June 1st to have it ready for inspection.

Steve is Alive. An Now an update for this military campaign. from an Infantry Division
Operational Planner.
I have shaped the battlefield by getting my spouses agreement to purchase and informed
the kids that I will not be availiable most evenings and weekends.
I am now setting the conditions for success. I am setting up my Garage to receive
the Piet. This part of the process can get sidetracked by honeydos. IE this
weekend I laid pavers for a small patio. This will be compleated by Sunday this
next weekend. Then Movement to the area of Operation, moving the Fuselage
to the Garage.
Next is the actual crossing of the Start Point. I will start turning wrenches.
I am not sure how long the campaign will take but I hope (hope is not a plan)
to culminate this phase in 2 months followed by working on the wing for 1 month.
This should include painting.
The decisive point of this operation will be assemby of the aircraft at the airport,
followed by test runs and 20 hours of flight.
Blue Skies,
Steve D
PS the biggest problem with moving the project to my house is I will be moving
away from John and his knowledge.

Firstly, your work is amazing so she outta be an outstanding example of
craftsmanship, secondly I am seriously excited about your engine and thirdly
I think your paint scheme will really set her apart.
When do you aim for final assembly?

Gardiner,
To be technically correct, it's a little more than just certified engine and certified

be certifed in order to get the 25 hours. Anything else requires the 40 hour
fly off.
If you have insomnia issues, you can cure it by reading AC20-27G, "Certification

Mike,
No problems with holes in the bottom of wings and tail due to kicking up roc
ks? This is why the fellow with the Carbon Cub won't use it. I doubt I will
be kicking up and rocks.... Can't go fast enough.

It works fine Ray also the glue works fine gluing fabric to the wood. No need to
use special epoxy primer first.
It is much nicer to use than the poly fiber process as far as smell and toxicity
of chemicals used.
Cheers,
Jim

We have a lot of nice websites out there (praise be to the Sainted Chris Tracy)

Steve, if we've already met you'll have to remind me. Congratulations on a really

Pietenpol 005 Wings and tail feathers waiting to be loaded
Pietenpol 012 Me and Bill Church loading her up!
Pietenpol 022 Fuselage with Bills plans on it.
Pietenpol 024 All ready to go... Left to Right-Wayne, Me and Bill Church
Pietenpol 034 Into the barn it goes!
Hey folks I am now a Pietenpol owner!! Am I ever excited. Been dreaming
of this for years..... First off I want to thank Bill Church and Wayne
for accompanying me. Your insight and advice was invaluable.
Unfortunately Scott Knowlton was unable to make it.
Aside from the guy that was supposed to open the hangar not keeping his
schedule and us having to wait at least 2 hrs on him, the day went
excellent. It was pretty much what I was expecting/picturing. Good
workmanship. The
wood quality is excellent. We couldn't figure out what kind of
glue/epoxy
was used though. The wing spars have about 25 grains per inch. Wings are
almost ready to cover although I have yet to carefully compare them to
plans. Fuselage doesn't have wing center piece or landing gear but has
most
metal fittings attached. Doesn't have any tubing, plans, landing gear or
extra plywood and spruce. All the control system is in and the tail
surface control cables are in place. It
was shrinkwrapped so it kept out most dirt, dust and bird crap. Bill and
wayne and I went over the whole thing and I knew right away it was a go.
Then me and Bill went to work at packing it. We
managed to fit everything in the 14 ft trailer. Shook hands with
everybody
and did our parting goodbyes and pulled out of there by 3:30. I stayed
with
freinds for the weekend and got back here last night. The trip home went
good and I did alot of wincing over the bridge bumps. Didn't have time
to
unpack it until tonight. All tucked away in our barns haymow and I've
already sat in the cockpit and made engine noises and did a few stalls
and
landings:-) Now I've gotta order a set of plans a and figure out where
to
start. And figure out what I all need to get restarted again. Looks
overwhelming right now...... Feel free to ask any questions.....
Very happy, Charles Burkholder

Pietenpol 005 Wings and tail feathers waiting to be loaded
Pietenpol 012 Me and Bill Church loading her up!
Pietenpol 022 Fuselage with Bills plans on it.
Pietenpol 024 All ready to go... Left to Right-Wayne, Me and Bill Church
Pietenpol 034 Into the barn it goes!
Hey folks I am now a Pietenpol owner!! Am I ever excited. Been dreaming
of this for years..... First off I want to thank Bill Church and Wayne
for accompanying me. Your insight and advice was invaluable.
Unfortunately Scott Knowlton was unable to make it.
Aside from the guy that was supposed to open the hangar not keeping his
schedule and us having to wait at least 2 hrs on him, the day went
excellent. It was pretty much what I was expecting/picturing. Good
workmanship. The
wood quality is excellent. We couldn't figure out what kind of
glue/epoxy
was used though. The wing spars have about 25 grains per inch. Wings are
almost ready to cover although I have yet to carefully compare them to
plans. Fuselage doesn't have wing center piece or landing gear but has
most
metal fittings attached. Doesn't have any tubing, plans, landing gear or
extra plywood and spruce. All the control system is in and the tail
surface control cables are in place. It
was shrinkwrapped so it kept out most dirt, dust and bird crap. Bill and
wayne and I went over the whole thing and I knew right away it was a go.
Then me and Bill went to work at packing it. We
managed to fit everything in the 14 ft trailer. Shook hands with
everybody
and did our parting goodbyes and pulled out of there by 3:30. I stayed
with
freinds for the weekend and got back here last night. The trip home went
good and I did alot of wincing over the bridge bumps. Didn't have time
to
unpack it until tonight. All tucked away in our barns haymow and I've
already sat in the cockpit and made engine noises and did a few stalls
and
landings:-) Now I've gotta order a set of plans a and figure out where
to
start. And figure out what I all need to get restarted again. Looks
overwhelming right now...... Feel free to ask any questions.....
Very happy, Charles Burkholder

Charles, what a great image! This deserves to be in one of the
aviation magazines. I can't wait to see how it looks when it comes
out the other side.Cheers, Ken

Thanks or all the responses about covering. When I planned on going o the EE
A Fabric workshop, I did not realize they would only be speaking about the P
oly-Fiber system. I felt a little bad about being there and knowing I would
not be using their system. When he said their Poly-tak required the two par
t epoxy primer on the wood/fabric contact areas, I knew it was not for me! I
t is bad enough just varnishing the damn wings.
Hope to meet up with Gary this weekend.

Thanks, Jack.
I have already sanded most of the wing parts that will contact the fabric; a
t least on the left wing. Sanding and painting are two different things.
Thanks again,
