Subject: | wood fuselage weight |
Ive recently changed my mind about fuselage material. Have decided to build steel
tube, and just received my order from Wicks. Was surprised to see shipping
weight of 37 lbs. And I ordered some extra tubing ( I think ) and some nuts and
bolts.
If anyone has weight numbers for their wood fuselage detailing what is attached
and not, would love to see those numbers for comparison. I would be sure
to post my weights as well.
Also, Fyi; wicks is much cheaper than AS&S with 4130. My total for fuselage
tubing was about $360.00 plus $30.00 shipping.

I don't know about Wicks being cheaper across the board; most tubing in a steel
Piet is 5/8 - .035. AS&S gets $1.96/ft, Wicks wants $2.94/ft (10:30 am PDT, July
29, 2013).

I actually counted mostly 1/2 then 5/8 then 3/4 then least amount 7/8.
AS&S was cheapest for the 5/8 but more expensive for the others. My geneneral
statement about cheaper prices also included the nuts bolts and washers. It
was only a 14.00 dollar difference for steel alone. not as much as i had originally
thought, but these pennies add up. I also like supporting the "little
guy". If competition goes down, prices go up.

Hello everyone,
Attached is a recent photo of Mountain Piet. Currently, I'm in wing
rigging mode. I've decided to follow Mike Cuy's example, going with 1 inch
dihedral and 3/8 inch washout. Also, I like the look of a bit of dihedral.
Still a bunch to do, but could begin test flights in the Fall.

Subject: | Wing attach bolts - locking vs castle nuts |
What kind of nut is recommended for the wing attach bolts? John Dilatush
used nylon locking nuts on his wing attach bolts. What is the rule of
thumb for using castle nuts vs lock nuts? My first thought was to use the
castle nut - cotter pins in areas that are not easily viewed and/or where
the nut would have a torque type force working on it.
Thanks,

I used castle nuts, partly for the reason you stated, and partly because my s

Greg,
Castle nuts are preferred any where that rotation can be applied to the
joint (which should NOT be the case for the wing attach bolts). Nylon
stopnuts should be fine, but I prefer to use the MS21042 all metal lock
nuts, primarily because they are lighter and smaller than standard AN 310
castle nuts, but still develop the same load. They were standard hardware
for all bolts on the F-16 program when I worked at General Dynamics many
years ago. Castle nuts are fine if you have room to install the cotter
pins.

Corky,
There was a "real world" side-by-side comparison done recently with two virtually
identical Piets - one with a traditional Pietenpol airfoil, and one with a
Riblett airfoil. PF Beck published the results here on the List, and also presented
the results at Brodhead on the weekend. Essentially, the differences
in performance between the two airfoils (when used on a Pietenpol wing) are negligible.
The choice is up to the builder as to which airfoil to use, but performance-wise,
very little difference should be expected. Huge thanks go out
to PF Beck and Don Harper for doing this research.
Here are links to the results:

the side doors dont close because the doors touch the nuts of the wheels, so we

Corky; there are two different riblett ribs being built. The 612 and the 613.5.
The one that Bill mentioned is the 612. The performance numbers look very close
to that particular pietenpol wing. I say "that particular", because that wing
used in comparison has vortex generators. Since the vg performance improvements
are pretty well documented, I still give an ever so slight performance advantage
to the riblett 612.
The riblett 613.5 is actually the rib that Mr Riblett recommended for the piet.
It is supposedly a higher lift design over the 612.
The 612 is taller than the piet rib and the 613.5 is taller than the 612. Taller
rib = taller spar= higher fuel capacity in center section tank and higher
safety margin when stretching wingspan. Both ribletts have same chord and spar
to spar distance as piet.
All three will provide loads of fun to fly under.

Hi Jack,
Yes, I still have the Subaru installed. The A75 is still in the shop.
And, I'd really like to fly the Subaru for a bit. If I like the Subaru,
I'll use the A75 for another project.
