Hi Pat,
It sounds like a good idea to me. I am on both this and the FB Piet pages.
I say if it helps people out, then it's a good idea.
Best of luck with it!

GREAT NEWS PAT!!
Are you planning on continuing the newsletter or is that being replaced with
the new website?
For some time I've been asking if I could help with the newsletter, or
something to get the BPA resurrected and I'm SO glad you guys have been able
to step in and help.
Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help with the newsletter,
or rounding up articles, etc for the new site and the newsletter.
I would love to see a well-done website that has a builder's section, a
section with lots of pictures of piets and flying/building stories.
Do you think there's any chance of getting permission from Grant to use some
old Buckeye Pietenpol Association content? Nobody's had luck so far, but
there's some treasures there.

Pat you asked for input.
I like the pretty pictures and short updates on the facebook page.
I like the in depth discussions that take place on the Matronics page.
I like the good long articles that are in the BPA newsletter.
I like the ads that are in the BPA newsletter.
I like opening our matronics emails and seeing subjects I did not ask for
that I needed to know about (is that a clumbsy sentence or what?
the search function on Matronics
I like the feel of the BPA in my hand. OK I can give that up.
Thinks I don't like
Silly fights over things that don't matter.
the shortness of facebook posts
Since you are doing the work I will let you alone.
Blue Skies,

Hi All,
Picking up the discussion here about this list versus the Facebook group...
A group of us at Brodhead Airport have agreed to take over responsibility of
the Brodhead Pietenpol Association, beginning this week. As part of that handover,
we are creating a new BPA website and I would like to know people's thoughts
on having a Builder's Forum there. It would be an updated version of this
list's software and I have asked permission from Matronics to use the entirety
of this list's content in an archive on our site, so it is searchable.

Hi Pat,
I think Steve's idea of having prominent links to both sites is a good
idea, after all, we all like the same plane.
Both FB and Matronics have their pro's and cons, however, I think that
in this day and age, the FB page reaches allot more people around the
world, spreading the good word about Piet's, which has to be a good
thing right?
As for me, I like the idea of utilizing all of the information, pics etc
that are available on both sites.
I do however really like the archives list on Matronics, that is the one
thing that FB lacks.
If the new BPA site can have a mix of both, that would be very good.
Thanks

I'm all for this! Especially including the BPA newsletter. It has been frust
rating because I've subscribed, but never received the letter. Also, FB is t

| Subject: | Riblett to Spar Fit |
Guys,
I'm not building them yet, but I would like to know what the procedure is to fitting
a standard dimension spar to a 612 Riblett design. Laminate a strip the
full length of the spar to fill 1/2" or so gap? Just use a small spacer block
on each rib? Should the spacer be on the top or the bottom?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Brent

I think this is great news! And very appropriate to have it based in Brodhead.
I, like most, enjoy the traditional bulletin board format. However, I can't stand
the matronics software. It's just antiquated and not moderated. Modern bulletin
board software will enhance what folks like about matronics about a hundred
fold. And then appoint some good reliable moderators, or do it in house.
Search functions are better. Different boards for different topics. Easy picture
posting.

Brent,
Have you already built the spars. If not, I would make the spars taller,
which would increase their strength. I do not have the engineering
expertise to compute how much.

I look on whatever is=C2-happening at Brodhead as a positve thing and kno

Would love for there to be ONE site where information would be archived, ea

Questions:=C2- =C2- 1. Is there going to be a Brodhead Fly-in prior to
AirVenture?
=C2- =C2- 2. How do I pay up for the services that the BPA =C2-promis

| Subject: | Re: Riblett to Spar Fit |
Brent,
I am building my Pietenpol using the Riblet 613.5 wing rib profile. It is slightly
taller than even the 612, I believe. I am also using aluminum extruded spars
like are used on a J3 Cub or similar aircraft with wooden ribs. The ribs are
taller than the spars, but also understand this - lift is trying to push the
ribs up toward the spar, not the other way around (not pushing down from above).
That is why many/most people assemble the wings upside down, so that the bottom
of the rib, the lower capstrip, is fully against the bottom edge of the
spar when the wing is assembled. I don't think that the "spacer" is necessary
for overall strength, although I did use them. I am a belt and suspenders kind
of guy.
I am away from home but will be back tomorrow and post a picture or two then. No
I do not think that you need it the whole length of the spar. You are just adding
weight by doing so. Also, I am not an engineer, but simply building your
spar taller does not necessarily make it stronger. This is an extreme example,
but imagine your spar being 1 inch thick X 5 inches tall. Now imagine how your
spar would be if you tripled its height but left the thickness the same. I
don't believe it would be 3 times stronger. It is a combination of height and
thickness that makes it stronger. That is one of the reasons I used aluminum extruded
spars. I don't worry about spar strength at all. As Dan Weseman half-jokingly
put it, "Let's see if I get this right. You have a 9 G spar on a 2 G airplane."
Works for me.
P.S. Take this for all that it is worth. I am not a structural engineer, NOR did
I sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

| Subject: | Corvair Engine Project For Sale on Barnstormers |
Builders,
I received an email from a Corvair builder, Chuck Callahan, that I had met several
times at Corvair Colleges. He has decided to not build any aircraft, so he
has put his Corvair engine project on Barnstormers -
http://www.barnstormers.com/ad_detail.php?ID=1223914
He asked that I make it known on this forum, so I am doing so. His pricing is on
his spec sheet. I have no other advice but to say that I met Chuck, and he seemed
like a good guy when we spoke. I hate to see anybody leave aviation, but
I also would like to see another Corvair engine built, and not languish in a
garage. If any of you have an interest in getting a head start on your Corvair
engine, contact him via Barnstormers.

| Subject: | Re: Riblett to Spar Fit |
John, no I haven't built them yet, I am looking at a started project that has all
of the ribs and center wing section built and the spars are "standard" size
so they will have to be spaced.
Terry, thank you for your comments. The spacer on the top does make sense now that
you mentioned the force on the wing will come from the bottom.
I am just starting down this road and will have many more questions I am sure.
Thanks to both of you for your replays.
Brent

I'll try to answer as many questions as I can here.
Douwe:
Yes, we plan on continuing the newsletter. John Hofmann sent his last one to the
printer this week and we plan to produce the quarterly newsletter after that.
Hope to get two out before the Brodhead Piet fly-in in July. We welcome any
and all article submissions. bpa@pietenpols.org.
Steve Dortch:
I agree with your comments about the printed newsletter vs. Facebook vs. Matronics.
Our hope is to continue with long in-deoth articles exclusive to members
in the newsletter. FB can be its own thing. We can continue with ads both in print
and on the new website. I've never been a fan of the Matronics software,
which is why we installed a modern forum program on the new website. I hope I
can drag people away from here and move discussions over there and hopefully get
permission to archive the entirety of this group on the BPA website. Then everything
is in one place.
Tools:
See above and check out the new forum:

Doug Bowman:
--Yes, there will be a Pietenpol Reunion at Brodhead, as always, July 20-23, 2017.
--I just received the current membership roster and will be sending out a letter
once we figure out who is paid up and for how long. How the funding works out
in the short term remains to be seen. We have a committed group at Brodhead
Airport though and want this to succeed. Stay tuned!
