Two years ago we built floats that Dick Navratil was going to use with his Pietenpol. We could be working on any type of wooden airplane. Most of the questions I had last year were from folks restoring classic wooden airplanes.

Pietenpols have been a favorite of the wood shop for 2 reasons. The first is simplicity. Plywood gussets and wood sticks are about as simple as you can get. The second is familiarity. Between us, we've built at least 6 fuselages, several sets of tail feathers and dozens of ribs. That doesn't mean we wouldn't like to do something different. I believe Flybabies and Volksplanes have similar construction. KR-2's might be a stretch but with enough advance prep work, we could certainly contribute a lot of man-hours and expertise. The Fisher line might also be worthwhile considering. For Tony: We'll give you a tentative maybe on the horizontal stab and elevators. Keep in touch.
