    We let you good Americans fly your N reg aircraft here indefinitely as long as it is insured and your license is current. We have N reg aircraft based here permanently and can even obtain a US license here to fly them!

    English Johnny, I have a British Pietenpol question. Y'all have to build to engineering approved plans. The British approved plans have one jury strut on the front strut. WHY? In the US, I see jury struts on both struts. Why the front strut? Some background, a local with some homebuilding experience is adamant that putting jury struts on a Piet is a engineering disaster. The "result" will be the wing being too stiff out to the strut attachment and it will fold up at that point. I am putting Jury struts back on mine. First, they were on before and the wing did not collapse after 20 years of flight. Second, my study of FAA Pietenpol accidents show Zero wing failures. Indeed Zero structural failures in flight! (there was one accident where a flying wire broke and several Gregas has pushtubes fail. causing accidents.) There are discussions of Struts folding under negative Gs (IE hard landing) and that is the reason for the Jury struts. I also understand that the jury struts should not be centered on the strut as that lends itself to a harmonic vibration. Blue Skies, Steve D Piet under restoration.

    From: "AircamperN11MS" <Scott.liefeld@lacity.org>
    Jeff, I just use my trim to relieve stick pressures during level flight. The stick pressures change a lot in my plane during fuel burn. I have a 10 gallon nose tank and a 12.5 gallon center section tank. When the nose tank only has 5 gallons or lees in it I am very tail heavy. This is when I need the trim the most. Your question regarding trimming during landing is a definite no. I tend to not make approaches in a straight line. I will usually be in a turning slip to final much like you see people do in a Pitts or other Biplanes. I don't even notice the stick forces during landing. Oh, It's nice to have during climb out too. Not sure if that really answers your question, The plane isn't stable enough to ever let go of the stick anyway.

    Subject: Re: Varnish
    I used the PolyFiber Epoxy varnish on top of polyurethane, throughout the airplane. Polyurethane spar varnish (1 part) is cheaper so I used it for the first coat, then put on a top coat of epoxy varnish. My landing gear struts are left just as (epoxy) varnished spruce and have taken a lot of abuse in the past 10 years, with no degradation of the finish. I love that epoxy varnish! It is expensive, but not in the grand scheme of things. I spent about $200 on epoxy varnish for the entire airplane. That's a pretty small percentage of the $15,000 I spent building it and well worth it to protect the structure, in my opinion.

    I've seen several photos where the outboard sections of the center section end ribs and (inboard) wing end ribs are covered with a full size gusset; the Hatz Classic does it that way. I don't see that on my plans, so wondering if I missed it or that's just become the norm. -------- John Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=432569#432569

    John, I believe it's good practice to thin the first coat about 50% so you get better penetration into the wood...I just brushed mine and did a little sanding between coats. Yes, it's a pain and takes a long time which is what scratch-building is all about!

    Subject: Re: advice on trim mechanism
    From: "namrednos" <namrednos@yahoo.com>
    I am finishing up my rudder and stab. I like the simple Ray Allen Trim Servo. Install it in the elevator just like you would a RC Servo and push rod. For power if I do not have a starter battery, I will power trim system with a lipo battery along with my hand-held and GPS. (On the same subject of controls) I have looked at the geometry of the elevator system and it does not work out. Do the control cables sag as you change stick position. If you move the control stick forward 15degs. and back 15 degs., the cable push and pull is not even. This is because the cable on the back stick connection comes under the 2" pulley, and the front cable goes over the top of the pulley. The cables from the bell crank to the elevator do not work out. they hit the front of the horizontal stabilizer and sag. What can be done to fix this? Is it something to worry about. The bell crank on the original plans under controls calls for the bearing to be 9" off the bottom. On the extended fuse update 7-1/8". In another area it calls out 7". The lower it is the more it rubs. -------- Scott Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=432578#432578 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/cable_movement_elevator_controls_573.pdf

    I used a nautical product called Epiphanes on my gear legs with very good re sults. No experience with UV or wear and tear yet but sure looks nice. It's m eant for canoes and kayaks so I expect it should be quite resilient. Scott K.
