Welcome to the list,This is the place for sharing ideas. My only suggestion is that ash mightbe a bit heavy for the spars. People have used lots of diffrent woods otherthan sitka. Do you have Douglas fir in your area?Dick N.----- Original Message -----

I`m living in Bosnia(Europe) and I`m only one known builder in this country. Excuse me for my bad english, engish is not my native. Few months ago I recived my set of plans and start building my aircamper. I start colected materials. I find some woods, birch plywoods for ribs,marine grade mahagony/poplar plywood for fuselage, engine(Subaru EA 82, but I planing use EA81), weels(600X6) with brakes, instruments and some turnbucles.. Also I find Loctie HYSOL epoxy 3421 glue (very strong:23N/mm2). Expensive(cca 55$ per kilos(2-1/2 lb) but here avaliable. I recived full size rib patterns and I check spars distance . I`s corect 27 3/4". I made rib jig and few ribs without doubt in ribs size. After discussion at this list I check my ribs and find top line is corect, but bottom is`nt. 1/2 where is 5/8". I`m stoped making ribs. I`ll be corected my rib jig. I`m made fuselage jig( short fuse) and prepare and splice longerons. As hard find aircaft grade spruce I`m planing make I beam spars. I`ll use white or european ash for upper and lower spar caps(8X25mm(.3X1")) as for vertical web stiffener (8X13 mm(.3X1/2") and 8 mm marine grade plywood for web. I calculate 16-17kg(35-37lb) for all spars without fitings(steinless steel AISI 316). My friend (mechanic engineer) will be caculate stress analysis. Does anybody have coments? Thanks for help. Drago Vejnovic Vojvode Momcila 14 78000 Banja Luka Bosnia and HerzegovinaDrago,Welcome to the list !! It's great to see how the Pietenpol has become a world wide name. Don't worry about your english...you are understood. There has been much discussionabout the construction of the ribs, and it is all readily available to you in thelist archives. Just scroll down on any e-mail, and you will see the web address. As for the epoxy, most preferr T88. I use it exclusively. The Subaruengine should be a good choice for you. In your location, I would guess it would be more readily available to you, as opposed to the Continental A65, or theCorvair engine. John Dilatush, a list member, has been flying behind a Subaru for a long time, and I'm sure he could answer questions about this engine.Questions to you:Do you have the Aircraft Spruce Catalog ? Wicks Catalog ? These are a couple of the many sources of materials, as well as other infomation, unique toaircraft. Consturction methods are covered in publications such as AC 43.13-1A/2A Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and PracticesandTony Bingelis Series of four books: 1- Sportplane Construction Techniques; 2- On Engines; 3- Firewall Forward; 4- The Sportplane Builder.and'32 Flying and Glider Magazines- available to you thru the EAA Chuck GantzerNX770CGPietenpols Forever !!________________________________________________________________________________
