Mario,
That is sad news indeed, it must be very painful. I won't pry into your reasoning
and will respect your decision. Your workmanship was outstanding, I enjoyed
the journey with you. I wish the best for you and your family. Maybe some
day you will have a Pietenpol in your life again.
Take care,
Jack

Mario, I fully understand you position and all things considered, I am sure you
have made the right choice. (as hard as it may be) Who ever received your plane
really did get a work of art. Stay in touch with the list...perhaps an opportunity
to start a new will come your way.

Mario, we've certainly enjoyed walking with you and wish you all the best.
Please DO keep in touch and encourage the new builder to join this group. I
personally enjoy very much hearing about projects around the world.

John,
There must be something wrong with either your full-size rib printout or the way
you're lofting the airfoil.
The only real difference between the full size rib printout and the rib on drawing
No 5 is that the full size printout has the vertical sticks added beside the
spars. The airfoil has not been "improved". Some people find that the full
size printout is stretched or shrunk a bit, due to the printing process and changes
in humidity - but that is typically in the order of 1/8" or 1/4" on the
overall length. In my memory, I do not recall reading about anyone ever experiencing
the issues you're having. I suspect that your issues have to do with
the way you're you're lofting (drawing) the airfoil. There should be no differences
of 1/2". There is only one Pietenpol airfoil.

I'm going to make a video showing everything, and maybe someone will be able to
identify the problem. Standby for a link to the video. Thank you.

Mario,
Sorry to hear that you had to give up on your project, sad for everyone...except
the one who will carry it on. I often contemplate the day when I will have
to give it up.. At 72, it could happen anytime.
Happy flights,
Ray Krause

Infidels, countrymen, and Pietenpol Enthusiasts!
I'm trying to connect a potential Piet builder in the West Virginia area wi
th Skip & Cinda Gaad but haven't seen Skip on the list
lately.
I know they live in/near Elizabeth, WV and built their home on an airstrip
but don't have any contact info on him. If anyone has
an address/ phone numbers please e-mail me directly at Michael.D.Cuy@nasa.g
ov<mailto:Michael.D.Cuy@nasa.gov>
Thank YOU!!!

Here's a video where I show the page 5 drawing, the rib profile based on page 5
and the full size overlay. I'm seeing a difference between both ribs, and I'd
like to resolve it so I can build a correct rib. So, shall I build my ribs based
on page 5 dimensions, or use the full size profile? Thank you.

John,
Just as an observation... without knowing whether you ever took a drafting class,
or had any formal training in layout or lofting... it would appear that your
lines themselves, are way too thick. Thin lines are much better as the thickness
of the line never distorts or influences the design you're transferring
to paper - or, in this case, plywood.
Another item I noticed is that your dimensions are taken - and I'm not dissing
you here, just giving you another observation - from the end of the scale. If
you want to produce accurate dimensions, place the 1.0 inch line at the starting
point or datum, if you will, and hold the scale firmly in place while you
place - or measure - the location of the tick marks.
The above are techniques which aren't being taught anymore in the era of CAD programs,
but when you're actually laying out a series of points to produce an airfoil,
or any other critical design, the old school techniques can be the difference
you're experiencing.
After 40+ years of Mechanical Design Engineering & drafting, just my $0.02.
