The plans are in that edition of the F&GM but Steve built his version using a welded frame rather than the gusseted, pinned, and brazed joints that Les Long used on the original. Thanks for the reply though. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=454233#454233 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:10:27 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Looking for Steve Statkus From: "jarheadpilot82" Oscar, Check your email. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=454245#454245 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 06:17:33 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Riblett 613.5 plans From: Ken Chambers I'm looking for copy of the Riblett 613.5 plans created by Roman Buckholt specifically for the Pietenpol. Anyone have a spare copy sitting around? Used is fine, as long as it's still in one piece. Be glad to pay shipping plus costs. -- Ken Chambers ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:14:00 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pauls Piet Build From: Steven Dortch Ray, those struts look great. I covet them! Mine are a set if Piper cub struts cut down. Solid but heavy. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 08:30:43 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pauls Piet Build From: "taildrags" Steve; Unless I'm mistaken, those aluminum pieces of Ray's are just the strut ends, not the struts themselves. If I recall correctly, those aluminum square stock parts slide up into the inside of Carlson aluminum streamline tube struts and provide a way to attach the upper ends of the struts to the wing attach fittings (with bolts), and the lower ends of the struts to the lower attach points (with adjustable fork ends). You can see the Carlson strut material here: http://www.carlsonaircraft.com/struts.html Note that they have small, large, heavy duty, and jury strut material as well as standard round and square shapes as well. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=454254#454254 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 09:09:31 PM PST US From: Ray Krause Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pauls Piet Build Oscar and Steve, That is correct. Those are my set of strut ends, made by my very good friend, Merle Reppert. As Oscar said, they fit into the ends of the Carlson aluminum struts...attached by two AN-3 bolts each. I thought I was responding only to Jim with a private email, did not know everyone on the Forum would receive it!
