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.

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.... -Ryan Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=430745#430745 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/orangemanual_407.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/eaa_fandgreprint_585.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/32_fandgmanual_327.jpg ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 12:22:04 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Drawing the rib From: "Pocono John" 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. -------- John Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=430747#430747 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/ribtail_111.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/ribcenter_199.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/ribfront_169.jpg ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 06:53:59 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Oshkosh trip complete.

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? - -------- do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=430766#430766 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 08:23:47 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Corvair College 31 From: "wheelharp" Just got home from CC 31 in Mexico MO...man, what a great time!
