Hi, I am building a Pietenpol GN-1 in the Czech Republic (Central Europe) as an
ULLa aircraft. Metal construction of fuselage and tail surfaces. Wooden wing,
and it will be equipped with an automobile engine (Subaru with a reduction drive?).
I haven't even thought it could be heavier than 450kg with me and a passenger?
:)
I have 68kg with leather B3 jacket :) ...and I don't expect my passenger to be
heavier than some 80kg.
That is 148kg humans, 20kg fuel, that is 292kg for the aircraft+engine+other liquids.
I hope it should not be a problem to achieve :D

Thanks for the nice comments guys! We had the worst winter in 30 yrs up here, so
the pietenpol has been out of my mind for months.....went to the hanger and
looked her over last night and she survived the winter! Now im getting the bug
again, so testing will resume very soon. I did attempt making a different prop
over the winter on my fancy CNC stuff and made scrap out of the first attempt,
but now i know what we did wrong, so once I get some more boards glued up,
well give her another try. I will keep posting on the list with my test results.
PS to fill the void not having a pietenpol to work on every day, i built this motorcycle.......almost
done !!

Who knows WHAT I'm gonna hear for saying this... but do you need LSA or unltralight?
There's a experimental balled a Bakeng Deuce. I think it's a really eye
pleasing design. Made for 125 to 150hp I think and quite a bit larger cockpits.
It's typical cloth covered steel fuse and wood wing, but you could easily put jenny
gear on, wood struts, change the shape of rudders and stabs to give it a
more Piet like appearance and feel.
I'm not a huge fan of changing designs... but if it suits your needs, might be
worth considering!

William, I'm very disappointed in you. Instead of your usual highly technical
commentary and eye for detail, you went for the decoys that Jeff threw out there.
You didn't even notice the rigid aluminum fuel tubing that he's got running
down those aluminum cabanes, past the stripped-down airframes in the cockpits.
For shame.

How tall is right for the windscreen? The one old one I have seems awfully
short. I like the general shape. Laid flat the bottom edge is straight and
it stiffens up when curved.
When placed with the old holes it is even with my eyes in the tail down
attitude and with my nose in the tail up. It is about 7 inches in front of
my nose. I can look over it easily.
I have looked at Photos online and they are all over the place. Some tall,
some short. I have looked at motorcycles and they are all farther away from
the face and most newer ones seem slightly below the eyes.
Blue Skies,
Steve D

You must mean the European version of ultralight AKA microlight. The US
version is tiny.
If you are looking at single seat just make a Piet and don't use the front
cockpit.
For the list. If he were to step up in size but wanted to stay in something
similar to a Piet what would you do?

Steve D.
