Subject: Pietenpol-List: What about these changes?I would imagine I might get one or two comments on the following idea. As I stated earlier, I have the fuse down to the "box". After looking at it side by side and underneath once again I am about to decide to make me a couple of false, parallel longerons about 5 inches lower at each pit and create a couple of fold over doors for a little easier in and out. Anyone ever tried this? Someone with a sketch or drawing to assist? Get your can opener.Corky still in La________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: What about these changes?Thanks Owen,I'll give her a call tomorrow am. Ithink this can be done safely. Those parallels could be beefed up and crossed brace with additional gussets. Yes, I mean both cockpits even if I had to alternate them on either side. As for the pucker-up head between my knees situation, it's worse than that trying to get aboard presently and I still can't get that right leg high enough to get over yet. Fire plug or no fire plug.Corky, practicing leg-ups in La________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2001 22:20:31 -0800 (PST)

If this iscorrect, you are definitely headed for a "put your headbetween your knees, and pucker up" situation. It takesa lot of re-thinking to do this safely.That said, Keri Ann Price did it successfully. It's beena while since I saw her plane, and I can't recall whetherthere were doors on both cockpits or only the front one.However, last I heard, Keri Ann offered drawings, andperhaps instructions, for this and several other mods.Try writing to: Keri Ann Price 9 Piper Lane Hampton, NH 03842.Owen Davies________________________________________________________________________________

With an A-65 I think you'd offset the vertical stabilizer leading edge to the left a touch, and with a Corvair, I believe it would be to the right. Remember basic flight training when you have the left turning tendency? You want to counter that with a little offset to try to force it to the right a little. If you offset the vertical stabilizer leading edge to the left it'll force the nose to the right, counter to the left-turning tendency. I imagine it'd be just the opposite with a Corvair. No idea about an A-engine Gary Meadows Spring, TX________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: What about these changes?
