Kent,Where in Oklahoma are you, I'm in Tulsa. I have my fuselage nearlycompleted. I started my fuselage first, with the thinking that when Igot started on the wings and tail, I would have something to hang themon when done. There are several ongoing Pietenpol projects that I knowof here in Tulsa. Send me an E-MAIL if you wish. By the way gang, thisis my first posting here, been just reading for a while soaking up allthe info. Thanks!!JodyTulsa, Ok.________________________________________________________________________________
Pietenpol-List: Pietenpols in Oklahoma
Pietenpol-List: Re: Pietenpols in Oklahoma

Jody, I'm in Oklahoma City. Glad to know there are some builders locally,even if an hour or two away. I'm a member of EAA Chapter 24 , but no one isbuilding a Piet. The only other wood aircraft going on here are a couple ofGP-4's, a KR-II, and a Volksplane rebuild. The rest seem to be RV's. I asked about the starting sequence of building as I wanted to startwith something easy (if ribs are easy). I figure I can hang the tail andwings off the wall after they are built, while I start the fuse, unlessbuilders usually find they use leftover wood from the fuse to use in thetail. Is there such a thing as left over spruce?
Hey, the plans for the ribs show one support against the spar, Ithought wood ribs used a support against the front and back of the spar. Is'support' the right terminology?? Is the fuse recommended first because the tail parts need to be madeto fit the fuse? So many questions, I'll have to search the archives likea wild man. I stayed up till midnight looking at the plans. There seem to beabout 3 separate drawings of the flying struts. ?? Is there anythingmissing on the plans that need to be there? That last statement will leaddown a long path, I'm sure. Need to buy some Kerosene for the garage heater, it got down in the30's here last night! Winter is here at last, after a beautiful fall.Kent________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 09:10:34 -0500
