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 ;) WF2 -------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=469862#469862 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:31:59 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Visit to US From: Ben Charvet Welcome to the US!

I also noted at the time that Bernard used 1/16" tail brace cables. So those are the wires I used in NX929DH. Dan Helsper Loensloe Airfield Puryear, TN -----Original Message----- From: aviken Sent: Wed, Jun 7, 2017 2:51 pm 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.
