I dont see where they are doing much. It also appears that some have not installed them on their projects.

Perha ps excessive flexing was noticed in this area=2C and these long gussets wer e added as stiffeners. I've included the long gussets in my build according to the most current plans.

Here are some statistics of interest. 1. Matronics hosts almost 80 different aircraft-related online lists or forums. I have no idea how many individuals are members of these lists, forums, or both, but the point is that we're not one of just a few groups in this "family". 2. The Pietenpol List shows 11,888 topics and 57,288 posts in the latest traffic count. The next closest is the RV-10 list with 9,293 topics and 49,169 posts. Runner-up to them for topics is the Aero-Electric list with 8,787 topics and for posts, it's the Kolb list with 43,154 posts. You've all seen the list traffic for awhile... we don't exactly burn up our keyboards with posts or topics, this is just a good, long, steady run of useful information and the continual addition of new builders and Air Camper pilots to our ranks. But fifty-seven thousand, two hundred eighty-eight posts! The Affordable Care Act and its rules only comprise 33,000 pages! ;o) 3. I realize that much of the reason for these numbers is that the Piet and Aeroelectric lists were early to join Matronics so we go back a lot farther than some of the other lists, but still- considering the popularity of other designs, that isn't bad for an old horse running a long race. And the fact is that there is probably more combined knowledge and experience on this list than on most of the others... and for sure a lot more friendliness and patience. I, for one, truly appreciate being in your good company. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=423578#423578 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:53:56 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet list statistics From: Ken Bickers Oscar, Plus one. Agreed this is a good group ... thankfully, with very rare exceptions. I'm sure the RV folks can play nice, too. Some of them just haven't gotten to that particular step in the manual.
