-Steel Tube Fuselage
-Built to plans, with the exception of adding a door to the front cockpit.
-Split Gear, with spoked wheels most likely
Full disclosure - I did not weld the fuselage. I purchased it already built.
I think the interest in the steel tube fuselage is great, and I hope to see several
at Brodhead in the next few years.

There are more photos of Vi's latest Piet on the Pietenpol Family website (way
down at the bottom of the page), including this one which clearly shows the N-number
(N26VK).

Roger! Two-Six-Victor-Kilo it is then! Very nice airplane; lots of details to
inspect in the photos. I see he has 'cheaters' (brakes) on those big wheels.

There are a couple of pieces of baffling that might not be readily available for
an engine run. The pieces that mount to the side of the block aft of the cylinders
come to mind. If the cylinder heads are stock (without the welded on
tube facing aft, there are adapters available, or there were when I ran mine.
As Bob said, pretty much every thing else is easy to come by at the CC.

| Subject: | To Flop, or Not To Flop, That is the Question |
I have a question for you builders and owners of Piets that are without a Flop.
I have read plenty of discussion over Flop versus cutout. But I have not read
much from the "Non-Floppers".
I am currently building my center section according to the 3-piece plans. Those
plans do not show a Flop, so my question is this-
To those of you flying without a Flop OR Cutout, do you wish you had it, or is
it not a big deal? I know that people believe it makes/or will make it easier
to ingress or egress the cockpit, but I also know many people add an inch or two
to the stock cabane length. Does that lessen the need for a Flop?
What say ye? Your thoughts? Thanks!

I have a cutout in my centersection and really like the ease of
ingress/egress for the rear cockpit. My centersection is 6" wider than
plans, which adds exactly as much wing area as my cutout removed (not that
this really means anything). I also like the improved visibility in a turn
which the cutout provides, something a flop will not do.
I've flown Piets without a flop or cutout (John Hofmann's N502R comes to
mind) and find it very difficult to slide my 6'2" frame into the rear
cockpit under that wing.

I agree with Jack on that one. My cutout is not much and I find it difficult to
get in and out. If I had a choice I would add a flop.

Terry, I could not do without a cut out. It makes it so much easier to get in and
out. Now if you want to get technical maybe you could figure out how much lift
you loose. Gardiner.

All this welding lately, its fun getting back to sawdust and varnish. Got a great
deal on this teak and holly ply (Ala Chris Craft) 25 bucks for the whole floor.
That varnish really brings out the colors.
