Subject: Pietenpol-List: Wing / Fuselage I've got a big weekend planned. I'm going to haul my wing to Benton Airport, and mount it on the fuselage. Some guys from work are going to come over friday, to help get this wing out of my living room, and mount it on the trailer. Saturday morning, just before dawn (not much wind at this time of day...even in Kansas), were going to make the 15 mile trip to the airport, traveling about 10mph. My biggest concern is to get this wing mounted...undamaged !! After it is assembeled to the fuselage, I'm going apply for my registration, using the 'NX' designation, and eliminating the requirement for the word 'Experimental' on the side of the plane. One of these days I'll get a web site going, to show the world another Pietenpol !! Wish me luckChuck GantzerWichita KS________________________________________________________________________________

I don't know if any of the Pietenpols in this area has the capacity to haul a 200lb payload, but I'm planning on that kind of payload with mine. That's why I measure weight in grams. I am very meticulus about weight, and also aerodynamics. This is going to be an exciting summer !!See y'all at the Fly-In this fall !!Chuck________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks Chuck.Seeing how your getting ready to attach wings and all. Do you have a goodsource on airfoil shape lift strut tubing for your wings? I found some goodcaban(sp?) tubing at the yard this week but no lift strut tubing.Greg________________________________________________________________________________

What and when did you find your tubing? I called Friday and all they saidthey had was .5" x 1" chromoly. Which would be great for cabane but notlift struts.Good luck on the wing. I wish I wasn't so busy I would drive down andhelp/watch.Greg-----Original Message-----
