Pietenpol-List: Piet fuselages

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Doug413(at)aol.com
Hey guys, on the plans for the extended fuselage that BP drew (the extra 9 1/2") it appears that there is a slight undercamber in the area of the rear fuselage, not a lot but definitely there if you sight along the lower longeron looking from he tail. The original shorter fuselage definitely does not have this. Is this intentional and are there any problems with this?

Hej Jannica,Vlkommen til Pietenpols!I think you've made a good choice for a first airplane. I also approve ofyour choice of glues - I've used resorcinol and T-88 epoxy on my Pietenpol.The only concern with resorcinol is to be certain that your shop and thepieces you are gluing are at least 70 F (21 C) to get a good reliable joint.At least one of your countrymen has some experience working on Pietenols.My friend Leif Brunstrm from just outside Stockholm has helped me quite abit on mine, when he's been in the U.S. on business.Just keep subscribing to this forum and just about any question you have canbe answered.Good Luck!Jack Phillips-----Original Message-----
