| Subject:  | Progress in Pryor | 
      
      Wanted to share some recent progress on "The People's Piet".  Covering and painting
      is FUN!!!
      
      One picture of before paint and one of after paint....right side up and bottom
      with access panel uncovered facing the camera.  One is of the blue tape effort
      at finding the curve I wanted.  Replaced with holding a thin strip of 1/16" ply
      around that same general curve and marking it with a pencil.  Worked on THAT
      layout for the last 10+ years and like it a lot.
      
      Should have the fuse painted and back on the gear by the end of the month (October)
      then on to the wings!  A bit of varnish here and there and they'll be ready
      for covering.
      
      This is an incredibly fun part of the process!
      
      Jim in Pryor

      Okay, Jim, now you've started an argument.  Airplanes with Sherwin Williams
      on them fall out of the sky.  The only paint that should ever go on an
      airplane comes from Benjamin Moore.
      
      :)
      
      Seriously, looks great.
      
      Cheers, Ken

      Thanks everyone for the compliments!
      
      I'm using a foam brush and doing multiple cross coats.  Around the curve I used
      a bristle angled brush but the rest is foam.  Painting on 95+ degree days was
      challenging but seems to be working out ok now that the temp has dropped.
      
      Maybe you can tell from the attached that it leaves a bit of a brush line but I
      like the look.
      
      I do have an HVLP setup and would prefer using it but the time involved is an issue.
      With a foam brush I can go to the shop, add a cross coat and throw the
      brush away.  No real clean up if I want.  I've found that I can make a LOT of
      progress if it's easy to get to.  Of course, I've gone out for a "quick" 15 minutes
      of painting and came inside to a dark house at midnight.  But what fun!
      
      Wait, what?  If I spray it won't "fall out of the sky"????

      Jim,
      
      That looks great!  I should start covering in November, right after finishing the
      rigging. I am looking forward to it! Thanks for encouragement!
      
      Will you be Flying this Spring/Summer?
      
      Thanks,

      at finding the curve I wanted.  Replaced with holding a thin strip of 1/16"
      ply around that same general curve and marking it with a pencil.  Worked on THAT
      layout for the last 10+ years and like it a lot.

      then on to the wings!  A bit of varnish here and there and they'll be ready
      for covering.

      Ray, flying in 2015 is the plan!  The way things are going right now it's entirely
      doable.

      I think it was Jack Phillips that said you divide by the cosine of the angle between
      the struts and the spar to get the tensile load on the strut.  Example:
      30 degree angle (cos = .5);  lift required = 5,000 lbs.  Total tensile load 5,000/.5
      = 10,000 lbs.
      
      To the original question, if you assume the rear struts and the cabanes take NONE
      of the load, that leaves about 4,000 lbs for each of the load bearing struts.
      With an angle of 30 degrees between the struts and spar, the tensile load
      is 8,000 +/-.  In theory, the struts should be good for 9 G's in tension.  
      
      Now compression is another subject...

      Hi Jim, 
      Your progress on painting is looking good. Its nice to see your Piet getting so
      close. 
      Cheers,
