I would only use aircraft graded wood an leave the longerons a full 1" x 1". In
BP time the plane were very light because they were low cost builds dollar wise
and material wise, no fancy electronics or other non-essential items.
Today's Piets are way over gross weight, including pilot and a passenger, added
to that all the fancy full IFR panels builders embellish their plane with.
If you deviate from the plans remember you become a test pilot. The Piet was design
to be a light flying airplane, simple in its nature and design. If you keep
it like that you will have one great flying airplane. Just do as the plans
say .... and for God's sake do not use a 2x4 ;)

I actually measured "The Last Original", and I can confirm the 7/8" dimension.
I also noted at the time that Bernard used 1/16" tail brace cables. So those are
the wires I used in NX929DH.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wood size
I read a post by Forrest Lovely who said that people wonder how BP built his craft
so light, and that he knew he sometimes ripped his one inch longeron pieces
from a two by four and with the missing Kerf the boards wound up being 7/8
by 1 . Now I don't know just how much that change would multiply into measurement
problems following the plans and all, But I do not think it would be
un-doable. I also believe that a 7/8x1 would be plenty strong , and if I build
another piet I will probably do that just to save a little weight. Just
my piddling 2 cents worth.
