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

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.

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

That's exactly the way I varnished mine Lorenzo.
Cheers, Jim B.

In fairness I guess the builder knows it's there.

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.
