I'm about to place an order with Aircraft Spruce and am going to order my covering
fabric. Going through the archives it appears we need about 45 yards. What's
the difference between Dacron and Ceconite? I'm looking at the 1.8oz Dacron
but it's width is 60 inches. From memory the chord is 60 inches so it might
be a stretch to get enough coverage?
Can some please tell me if I am looking at the correct product. It is part number
09-00100 from AS&S.

Check the lightweight fabric at Wicks. I bought mine there and it was wider. I
believe I used 40 yards, but it's been a while and my memory isn't what it once
was.

AC spruce sells 1.87 oz poly fiber for just over $10.00 per yard. It is 72" and
would enable you to lay it up loose (as required for shrinking) on the 60" Pietenpol
chord.

I bought enough fabric (1.7 oz) of 72 inch width for the wings, and the
rest was 62 inch width for the fuselage and tail surfaces. I don't know
how without sewing strips of 62-inch fabric together to fit the narrow
fabric to the wings. I forgot how much of each to buy but it is fairly
easy to figure out how much you will need. Chuck

I bought the wider fabric from Stewart Systems and the 62-inch from
Aircraft Spruce. I could have gotten it all from Stewart but the 62-inch
was a little less expensive and I'm Scotch enough to want to save a few
bucks. Chuck

Hello all,
With Vi's passing, yet one more direct link to Bernhard, his times but most
of all to that unique generation. Though I mourn his passing, I also mourn
the passing of that generation which in great part possessed qualities which
seem so absent from subsequent ones.
Marci and I had the pleasure of visiting him in 2010 as he was putting the
finishing touches on his gorgeous Ford-powered Piet, and though we only
spent an hour or so, it was memorable.
I will miss seeing his face at Brodhead.

Douwe, very true words. This is one of the main reasons I am choosing to build
a Pietenpol. Sure there are planes out there faster, roomier, etc...but I can't
think of any airplane that embodies the spirit of those past generations better
than the Piet. I hope by building, it will help preserve and pass on thier
legacy, and hopefully a little bit of what made them so special.

A message from Vi's daughter...
Begin forwarded message:
From: Rebecca Kapler
Subject: Vitalis Kapler has passed on.
Dad passed on to the great gig in the sky Thurs Dec 11th about 5:55 pm. 2014.
It was so beautiful, I held his left hand Jenny held his right, as he was taking
his last breath, I closed my eyes & gave thanks. I had the feeling of being
a little girl again, In the plane with Dad, Taxiing down the runway, sitting at
the end of the runway, Revving the engine, checking the wings just one more
time to make sure they worked real good. I turned around and saw my Dads face
with the biggest grin ever. He flashed me the thumbs up sign. Up, up, up, and
away we went. I had the sensation that I was flying. wow I am just in amazement.
I am Filled with peace. I will miss him dearly and thank you for your condolences.

Okay=2C Pieters- it's been a sad weekend=2C what with Vi Kapler leaving thi
s earth for judgement. May God find him to have been a good and faithful s
ervant.
We had our first sunny afternoon in a long while here in southern Oregon so
I went out to the hangar and changed out the bent fork end fitting on the
lower port side forward strut (one of the squawks at the last annual). Eas
ier than I thought=2C but then again I had a helper to wiggle the wing and
hand me tools=2C so it went well. Re-tensioned the X-brace cables=2C safet
ied them=2C and then taxied out to the fuel pumps to warm up the oil and to
p off the tank. It was nice to have the A75 come to life and carry me here
and there without complaint. At the pumps=2C I took on about 10 gallons w
hen a Taylorcraft came taxiing up after an easy out-and-back flight to do w
hat I had done on the ramp... warm up the oil and knock off a little of the
rust. We talked about A65s and starters (he wants to upgrade to a C85 on
the T-Cart)=2C and how the runway surface was at one of our nearby unpaved
fields (Beagle Sky Ranch).
Even without flying=2C Scout provided enough sensory input to keep me going
for another week or two of fall and winter weather. Just firing up the en
gine was enough=2C but taxiing out with gloves and flying helmet on and fue
ling and restarting and taxiing some more was just gravy. These airplanes
are so rewarding.
