This engine wil l be built with a fifth bearing and billet crank. I've given lots of thought to a color scheme and have decided to go with a n adaptation of the British Cammoflage used on the dH82 Tigermoth. I'm thoroughly enjoying the build process. I'm doing most of the build a t my brother's shop about40 minutes from home. Ribs are being built at home and I'm currently kitting all the parts for the top wing. They're standard pietenpol. The lower wing ribs are the same profile but smaller. With 28r ibs on top and 24 on the bottom, I'll be pretty busy. While I'm on the subject of ribs, I made a prototype from the rib jig to double check measurements of a finished product. I used CA glue for this a nd decided to make a test piece as I do for every batch of T-88. In testing to destruction, I got the same results. Any thoughts on using CA glue inst ead of T-88 for the ribs? Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 11, 2015, at 10:40 AM, "Cuy, Michael D.

From: "DaveG601XL" Hearing William mention Gary Collins makes me miss him all the more. I live close to Gary's house and airfield and we were good friends. I had just flown to his place the week before to perform a new weight and balance on the Tailwind he bought out of Baraboo. I installed and tracked the replacement propeller we put on the Tailwind before the new owner flew it out months after the accident. That was another heart wrenching day. I always had propeller safety in mind, but Gary's accident really made it personal for me. We lost a great friend and pilot that day. Be safe out there! -------- David Gallagher Zodiac 601 XL-B: flying, 280+ hours now Next project under construction: Finish my father's Aircamper Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=438245#438245 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 07:27:05 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Piet on eBay From: "Jeff Boatright" jarheadpilot82 wrote: > I don't understand why someone puts a VSI in the panel of a VFR airplane like a Piet. A Pitts - maybe. A Piet? I don't get it. Not to be a contrarian, but I think I see why someone would want one -- it's fun to throttle back to create a descent rate similar to a glider, and then go thermaling. My former hangarmate has a VSI in his Pup and is a former glider pilot and goes thermaling a lot. He got me onto this sort of fun flying. He claims that a VSI allows him to better monitor the ups and downs.

I would just get the smallest one I could find. You don't need a big one to ride the thermals. On second thought, with my eyes, I probably need the big one...
