Did you do the center section per the std plans. I have been curious about the
plans that Keri Ann Price sells for her 3 pc. wing mod. I wonder how they differ
from the std plans.

I made my center-section per the original 3-piece wing drawing. This was
before I realized it could be made larger to accomodate a larger fuel tank
or storage space. I would have made the CS spars longer but leaving the
vertical strut and pulley fittings at the same place. The diagonal strut
fittings would move out to the ends of the spars. It would take a little
redesign of the metal fittings but it would be worth it. The length of the
wing panels could be modified to make the total wing length the same. There
are some pictures some where (probably in the West Coast Piet section of
pictures) that show just what I mean. Someone has already done this so you
would not be breaking new ground. Chuck

Subject: | Re: Building in a 2-car garage |
I started out in an old detached 2-car garage, that I had to rebuild before
I could start building the Piet. Then it moved to a semi truck trailer, th
en an old milking barn. When my wife and I started looking at houses in 200
7, she swears that the main thing that swayed me about the house we bought
was that it had a 3- car garage. I confess, I did measure to make sure I co
uld put the wings on the Piet in it.

I used the Ker-Ann plans for 3 piece wing and will be using her plans for the door
also. Her plans have 4 semi solid ribs that butt against eachother and the
wing attach fittings hang slightly below the under surface. All this allows for
relatively quick removal of wings. No strip of wood or tape to remove at seam.
A small access panel in under surface to access aileron cable disconnect.
I made my center section wider and will have cabane struts on slight angle (like
the look).

Sounds like the coroner's office has adjusted the count down to 24... 7 of those
are children.
While it looks horrible down there, hopefully things are not as bad as initially
thought.

Your best source of information is Wynne himself on his flycorvair.net site. All
the CC info is there as it becomes available.

It is a sad event to be sure. I am glad to hear that you and our Piet friends seem
to have missed the vast part of the destruction.
Still in our prayers all those that were effected. Very sad.

Subject: | Re: moving a Piet fuselage--Saran wrap style |
Mikee- you stuck that on top of a Honda CRX? Crazy!!
When I moved my other project (Flying Squirrel) from TX up to OR, I just bought
a roll of that plastic film stuff at my local U-Haul Store. It comes on a roll
so if you get a roll of moving tape or packing tape and a roll of that plastic
film, you and a helper can easily cocoon your airplane project in a sturdy,
weathertight cover in about 15 minutes. The roll I got had spool handles so
we just wrapped it tightly, passing the spool under and over and back and forth
until everything looked good. Tape here and there in spots that we thought
might get a lot of buffeting helped. The stuff tends to stick to itself so if
you overlap it a decent amount on each pass, it makes a really nice cocoon.
Start from the nose and work back so the laps are "with the wind", not against
it. I drove 2200 miles through a LOT of rainy weather and not a drop got inside.
