It's hard to see him go, yes it is. But reality is reality, and as Cortes said
sometime you have to "burn the ships" and go ahead.
I hope to see it flying soon, it will be a great reward for us.
Hasta luego.

I don't think inverted flight is allowed in a Piet. LOL

Hi John,
The rib on page 30 in the orange manual the family sells is the rib from the Pietenpol
Air Camper articles in the 1932 Flying and Glider manual. I took a couple
pics of the illustration from my respective copies of the original F&G Manual,
the EAA reprint, and the orange manual (which is a repackaging of the text
from the F&G manuals with some additional content).
The Air Camper and the Sky Scout use the same airfoil and same basic rib, however
the brace aft of the rear spar was modified by the time of publication of the
Sky Scout plans in the 1933 Flying and Glider manual; it goes aft from the
top of the rear spar versus aft from the bottom as shown in the '32 drawing. As
noted in the text:
"I wish to call your attention to the brace back of the rear wing beam. This was
changed from the plans of the Air Camper, and I advise all of you who have not
built your wing ribs to build them this way."
This change was included in the "Improved" Air Camper plans that are sold by the
family, thusly the rib on page 5 reflects that modification.
I've got a set of plans and one of the full size rib prints as well, I just haven't
had time yet to loft the front section and check it again the full-size print.
If the full size print doesn't match up, then I would think either something
was inadvertently altered in their duplication process, or maybe there was
an error made when the full size print was drawn. I don't have it with me at
work, but I seem to recall that drawing being signed by Donald....I could be
wrong....

I've never seen a drawing or builder photo showing the rear brace going from the
bottom of the spar. Guess it would be a rather old plane by this point.
All I know from the phone call is the full size rib came out 86 years after the
page 5 rib, and either is acceptable (they're different). When you plot and compare
to the full size, you'll see the same thing I saw.
Generally speaking, page 5 rib forward nine inches is a little thicker, but then
slightly narrower until the trailing edge.
Using carbon paper, I traced the full size over my drawingit's close enough to
show the differences. All plotted points from page 5 are circled.

The fuselage is now in my shop and I'm about to start cleaning it up and figuring
out how much of the original wood is useable. One thing that is apparent is
that the rudder bar and the bellcrank in the aft fuselage were both recently
removed, probably at Brodhead before Bob and I got to the airplane. Does anybody
happen to know who bought these items from the sellers?
