I had offered a copy of my wood list from AS&S, from 6 years ago, to the groupand a few took me up on it.Just a thought,,,,,,,Since my order was correct (long fuselage, three piece wing)Maybe AS&S tried to reinvent the wheel and messed up the list along the way.What if someone who is thinking of ordering a spruce "kit", request a free Quote,then compare it line for line with my list.I remember that when I got my order, nothing was marked,cause there is no way theyCAN mark it. Took me awhile to sort it all out, and find out what went where..Might be a case where the wrong longer pieces were cut up with waste, Thenlater on , all of a sudden you run out of the right pieces.walt evansNX140DL________________________________________________________________________________
Pietenpol-List: accurate wood list

Walt,I think what happened is somewhere along the line AS&S was given a list by a builderand he/she called that list (meaning the person who supplied it) a "ModernizedPietenpol." I suspect that it is actually the material list for a GN-1Aircamper renamed. I do know that AS&S has a GN-1 spruce kit as well. My guesswould be the lists are identical if they were to compare them side by side.I am now working directly with them to resolve the wood issue in my case. Over the next few weeks/months as I build I can promise you that the communitywill have a correct and complete spruce kit for the "Improved Pietenpol Air Camper(1933)" and the "3-pc wing" from AS&S. If someone else could supply a "correct"material list for the "1-pc wing" to them all would once again be wellwith the world
On another note to ALL: Please look at my post "Top & Bottom Struts and Braces."I really need an answer to that one guys...Thanks.StacyThere is only one greater thing than to believe in the impossible...and that isto achieve it -- Stacy Clark________________________________________________________________________________

I received the Piet wood kit from AS about 6 months ago (cost was $802 I think). This was for the 3 piece wing and included everything but capstrip and plywood. Wood was very good quality except I found a knot in one longeron piece and they got me a new one in just 3 days (suprized the hell out of me). I have attached a .gif of with contents of that wood kit.Rick Holland>>Walt,>>I think what happened is somewhere along the line AS&S was given a list by >a builder and he/she called that list (meaning the person who supplied it) >a "Modernized Pietenpol."

Rick,Thanks, I've forwarded your list to AS&S. If this didn't happen to me(wrong kit), it would almost be funny. I have no doubt AS&S will do theright thing here.StacyThere is only one greater thing than to believe in the impossible...and thatis to achieve it -- Stacy Clark________________________________________________________________________________

AS should recognize the wood kit list, I got it from them in the first place.>Rick,>>Thanks, I've forwarded your list to AS&S. If this didn't happen to me>(wrong kit), it would almost be funny.
