Pietenpol-List: W&B with tube frame

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Kip & Beth Gardner
It hurts to ask this, since I have never really been able to feelthat a tube-fuselage plane is really a Piet, even if The Masterhimself designed it, but does anyone know how the steelframe balances with a Ford engine? I'm pretty much firmon wanting to go with Model A power, and my next projectwill be a tube-and-fabric plane with a lot higher performance.It would make some sense to build my Piet with the sameconstruction methods I'll need later on, but not at the expenseof requiring a lighter engine on the nose.Many thanks.Owen Davies________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2002 08:26:18 -0500
