William,
Great info! Just what I needed to get started on the LG as well as giving me insight
into getting the W & B right the first time.
If I was interested in having you build a motor mount for me what is the best method
to get you the exact dimensions of my motor mount brackets on the fuselage?
Thanks for taking your time to assist me with this W & B issue.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with at least part of your thoughts.
when a smart person beats an ignorant person out of there goods, I do not call
that smart business. This world has always had those shrewed people who live
off other people's sweat. It will always be that way, nothing will change it,
but I won't put a nice name to it.

Grant,
The only number we need to know is the width of your plane from the inside face
of the outer mount bracket to the same spot on the other side. It will be very
close to 24" or 24.25".
.
Right now, sitting on the back porch is a 24.25" model, done powder coated the
light gray we use on most stuff. (Our powder coater is across the street from
NAS Jacksonville, so you can always have anything done in "US Navy haze gray"
in short order, they are always applying it.) If you need one done in a different
width, we can get to it in a few weeks, probably before Barnwell.
.
Scotty....I just learned yesterday about how to ship stuff down under at reasonable
rates. I was speaking with Dan Weseman, and they have sold 6 Panther kits
into NZ and Australia since Oshkosh and he has found a freight company in California
that sells space in Containers that leave nearly every day and make the
trip in 12 days. I good resource for big items like mounts and core engines.

William you were reading my mind! After working out the time zone difference I
called Mark yesterday as he got my heads off Roy at Oshkosh. Roy is building the
short block and Mark the heads so I am thinking how it would be best to get
it all here. I need to talk to you about this. I measured my firewall yesterday
and the the distance you quoted above is 26 5/16 inches from memory. I have
widened the fuselage by approx 2 inches. I have flown a Piet here that was a
standard size and although I am 6'1" and about 88kg, the extra couple of inches
makes all the difference. Things are becoming very real after nearly 5 years
of building.

Hi all,
I just ran across this Piet at Creve Coeur airport in St Louis. The data plate
says a guy named Doug Bryant built it in Wichita Kanas. I hadn't seen this one
before. Meet to see.

Doug Bryant was or is a friend of Chuck Gantzer also of Wichita. Chuck flew
his red and silver Piet to Brodhead several times, the last being about 4 or
5 yrs ago. It was the year Brodhead hit 100 degrees and there was a strong
wind from the east. Later in the week there was a big rainstorm at Oshkosh.
They both built ford powered Piets about 15 yrs ago or so. Don't know about
Doug, but Chuck felt his Ford was not reliable and replaced it with a
Continental 65 (I think) Anyway, since he had the short wheelbase Piet, he
had to build the motor mount way forward to get the weight and balance
right.

here is what i think i might know. my heath parasol is covered with stits.. it
was painted through the silver. i primed over the silver with sherwin williams
primer three coats sanded between coats. primer rolled on then smoothed with
a large very fine damp sponge. that left fine marks that were sanded. i then
rolled on three coats of behr exterior latex in cream..sanding between coats.
the last coat was sprayed on with a lowes latex paint gun 40 psi thinned flotrol
as recommended and 25%. widnshield fluid. i think the best way to judge the
finished product is to look at the paint job then look at your checking account
balance and accept the fact that you have 2,300 more than you would have if
you used a certified process. i
wouldnt use latex on a 100,000 plane but on a 10,000 it is a very good option for
me. thats the jew in me. i wanted the 1927 dope look.
