Jim, I don't have a steel tube fuselage, but it seems to me that the turtle
deck could be made of wood -- just like the plans for the wooden fuselage
says. Good fortune and MERRY CHRISTMAS. Chuck

2rn has been up between Scott and I every two weeks or so. Scott was up just last
week for a couple hours. He's been running around landing in friends hay
fields, kinda like she was designed to do! Warm chattanooga weather helps.
Been a very warm winter so far up here in wisconsin. If not for scheduling conflicts,
would have gotten checked out in the eaa's travel air as late as early
November. While that didn't happen, I did manage to get checked out in their
pt-1 husky. Flies a lot like a Piet, only easier to land!

Ya. It's the only one known to be flying. There's another registered, but no
info. It's got a cont 220 up front, a little overpowered. The difference between
full throttle and about half is around 5 mph, and a lot of face slapping!
It was a failure as a trainer because it's just too easy to land. It really is,
just a cream puff. Good vis, not squirrelly at all, just super well mannered.
I might be able to convince them to let me bring it to brodhead some year.
We can't give paid rides in it because there was never a civilian type certificate,
so it lives in the experimental category. Sad, when I flew it, that was
probably it's last flight for several to who knows how many years.

While you are finishing your "mental build" you might as well spend the money and
buy a copy of the 1932 Flyer & Glider Manual from the EAA bookstore. Pages
19 and 20 include a small discussion, and is the source of the attached picture.
Just enough picture to encourage you to buy a copy.
Barring that, westcoastpiet.com should have a ton of pictures that you can review.

The PT-3 had Approved Type Certificate #83, that one is Experimental because of
the engine. The other survivor is not too far from ready to cover.

That is definitely not what I was told by the folks who rebuilt it. Perhaps they
overlooked something? I know they would love to use it like a certified plane.
They get around the rules some how and use it for their military pilot fantasy
camp event they do every few years. Other than that, we don't use it for much.
We've put 220s on several planes that didn't have them originally, including the
travel air and swallow.
Would love to know about the other one as well.
Thanks!

Jim
The turtle deck formers are on the lower right corner of sheet "Drawing No.
1" (as labeled in the upper right corner). My turtle deck stringers are
1"x1/4" but I'm not sure where I got that from.

I haven't started building yet. At the tail end of a "mental build" by
looking over the plans and trying to figure out where everything goes.
One sticking point - I can't seem to find fuselage turtle deck info/drawings
on the plans. Am I missing something?
