Semih,
Are you going to add any fingerstraps to the rudder pedal welds? My brother ground
looped his Jr Ace when his pedal broke. Fingerstrap reinforcement would
have helped.
One example i found on the internet:

Very good idea David. Thank you. The pedals are not complete yet. I will
re-load photos when they are.

Fellow Pieters, What operating speeds do y'all use?
I have just edited a Pietenpol Pilot Operating handbook for my Piet. I
found it on the Matronics list and it looks very complete.
My plane has the Pietenpol wing and has a 65 HP Continental.
Where a cub has 60MPH as the standard speed to do most everything: climb,
final, engine out, longest range. This manual uses the following:
Best angle of climb, 55MPH
Best engine out glide 55 MPH
Normal Climb Out 65 mph
Short Field Takeoff 55
mph
Enroute climb
Best rate of Climb 65
mph
Landing Approach
Normal Approach 65 mph
Touchdown speed 55 mph
Maximum Turbulent Air Penetration Speed 80 mph
Maximum Crosswind Velocity 10 mph
Engine Failure after takeoff 65 mph
Maneuvering speed
1150 lbs 80 mph
Maximum Glide 55 mph
Precautionary landing
With engine power 55 mph
Landing without engine Power 55 mph
Vs Stall Speed 29 mph
Green Arc Normal Operating Range 29-80 mph
Yellow Arc Smooth Air Operating 80-100 mph
Any thoughts from those already flying?
Blue Skies,
Steve D
