I can say many parts ende d up in the trash, especially the metalwork. The site is dated will have to get it updated. Also, because of your comments I will shift some time back t o the project.

From: "MikeHall" Does anyone have any advice on going with such a setup to make changes to the wing incidence? I have designed the struts to use sold 4130 5/8 rod ends which I have yet to look up the specs but I would bet they could lift a tank. I still need to design the wing attachment brackets which would bolt to the rod ends.

Edson" Subject: Pietenpol-List: riblett 612 For what it is worth we used the riblett 612 rib with cabanes the same length and our piet with a continental 0 200 has 35 hours and at 2500 RPM cruises at 95 MPH and at 2700 it does 103 and stalls at 27 MPH. It handles great and flies hands off. Maybe we did something wrong but we are pleased with it. Happy flying... I have sent pictures before but I tried to send a picture and they said it took up too much space. Bob -- Robert S.

From: Steven Dortch I have cut down Piper Cub struts. Which way should they be mounted? Thick end up or down? I know which way they are mounted on a cub. With adjustable the tapered end down. However, An old homebuilder, very knowledgeable, who has built several planes, (the most recent is a flybaby.) said he would put them on with the adjustable part up. But he was not fixed in his opinion. What have y'all done? Blue Skies, Steve D BTW the "No Jury Struts" guy was at my hangar and he was again adamant that anyone putting struts on is a fool. I listened and told him I was going to put them on anyhow. I told him that I had researched the accident reports and did not find a single incident of wing failure in the FAA data base. NOTE: the British Pietenpol must be built to a specific standard, that standard has been examined by structural engineers. Their Pietenpol design has A jury strut, only on the front strut. None on the rear. Does anyone know why?
