How about scarfing in pieces so that each laminate of fir isn't full length? I personally don't see an issue with this as long as the joints are staggered and scarfed 1:12 ratio like they should be. Great work, it give me an idea for my upcoming build as well. -------- I own a Teenie Two, remnants of an Avid, a KR2, hang glider and paraglider as well as my 1997 Pietenpol Air Camper.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned that in one of the first posts. He now lives up in Salt Lake City. I met him this summer the same week that I purchased the Pietenpol. He is certainly a nice gentleman. I hadn't realized that Steve was the one that started this forum, although I'm not surprised from what I've heard about him as well. The plane still has the Subaru engine on it (well again actually) and runs like a top. Just need to finish a few loose ends and remount wings to have it close to flying again. Obviously I will look everything else over one final time as well.

Making it fold completely to the left side. The rear one is a big perplexing although I have seen a few canopies like that you can just take off completely and then latch down when you put it into place. Interesting idea. I've been thinking of building something to enclose mine and add heat. Of course I'll have to get it flying first. I remember a couple weeks ago running across some pictures of someone that is building a beautiful wood strip raised turtledeck and canopy for their Air Camper. Does anyone remember seeing this? It's actually how I found this thread while searching for it. -------- I own a Teenie Two, remnants of an Avid, a KR2, hang glider and paraglider as well as my 1997 Pietenpol Air Camper.
