    Nice looking fuse Scott. I hope to have Pietenpol Pietenpol components littering my garage in the near future. Keep up the good work.

I can hear a popping sound in my shop as the airframe goes from a dusty light coloured grain -less contraption to a fine wooden piece of antiquity!!! Sorry for the verbosity but those of you have reached this point must be able to relate to my absolute fulfillment... Those of you yet to reach this hallmark I encourage you to continue the journey. It is most definitely worth it. > > Scott Knowlton. > > <photo.JPG> > > > > Sent from my iPhone

    Very nice Scott. Varnish adds a beautiful color to that great woodwork. Too bad it has to be covered. Cheers, Jim B.

    Dear vice air marshal Tools: I don't think it is going to down the plane either, but can you explain how you don't think of capstrips as "structural"? To my way of thinking, you do a 3 G pull up at 1200 lbs and the plane generated 3,600 pounds of lift, which near 100% is generated against the wing fabric....which is only contacting the capstrips... so they are not structural how? I learned the fabric trade working in Willie Carter's hangar at 207 Cessna Blvd Spruce Creek. Almost all work was competition aerobatic biplanes, almost all Pitts S-1S and S-2Bs. Capstrips in a Pitts are a lot smaller than a Piet, but they have much smaller stick lengths and the ribs are twice as close. I never saw a spar damaged by a flight load (just landing accidents) but I did see plenty of ribs that were broken by flight loads. My conclusion, they are structural. -ww.
