PietersOn the tail section my plans show the tail fin to be one inch longer(19) than the horizonal stab (18) is this right. It would appear sincethe fin sits on the horizonal stab it would be the same or shorter.Ken________________________________________________________________________________

make it 18". Same as the H-stab. One of my GN-1's is 19 per plans (andneeds to be fixed) and the other is 18. 18 is what it should be.DJ VeghMesa, AZGN-1/Piet hybridwww.raptoronline.com N74DV-----Original Message-----

Pietenpol-List: GN-1 Plans
Original Posted By: Ben Charvet
after many months of trying to get in touch with Bob Grega (late J. Grega's son), I'm debating on whether or not to make the plans available.I get several emails every month asking where they can be obtained. I have emailed Bob and asked him if he would sell rights or just let me handle the distribution. I get nothing back from him. I know he was experiencing some "family health issues" as he put it, months ago and for all I know something unfortunate may have befallen him.So would it be wrong for me to distribute the plans.... and I would hold the funds in an account so that if at any time in the future he should come from the woodwork I could reimburse him less printing costs????I certainly don't want to cross any lines and come across and violating any copyrights and what I propose may by definition do just that but I hate dearly to see the GN-1 fall by the wayside.Opinions please?DJ Veghwww.imagedv.com/aircamper________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 03 Mar 2007 16:48:17 -0500

I think the way you offered to place the proceeds in a separate account sounds good. If you know a lawyer (or if someone on this list is one) then maybe there's a short one-page legal document that could be written up to state that you are not profiting from selling them but rather just distributing the plans on behalf of the non-responsive copyright holder and all profits would be forwarded to him if requested within a reasonable time period.Also, for the record, save your emails where you tried to get in touch with him. That all should be quite a bit of backup documentation that you were acting in good faith and again, giving him the money if he were to ask for it would go a long way towards making everyone feel warm and fuzzy.Eric (not a lawyer but an engineer, so I'm forced to write specs sometimes.)>From: "DJ Vegh" >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: >Subject: Pietenpol-List: GN-1 Plans>Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2007 14:01:15 -0700>>>after many months of trying to get in touch with Bob Grega (late J.

If anyone is interested i have a set of plans that i purchased from Mr. Grega quite a few years ago that i'd sell or trade for something interesting. They should be in real good shape as i omly had them out once. I dont remember if it was Kitplanes or Sport Aviaton that interviewed someone that had built a GN-1 but after reading the artical i thought it was something i could build so i called Mr. Grega and ordered a set of plans. Not long afterwards we bought Champ basket case that we rebuilt with a lot of help from Mark Anderson (AP IA) who has an Aircamper that he built while in high school and also a Sky Scout he built latter on. Mark and his Grandpa Andy Anderson really got me hooked on the Piets but it took me awhile to finally get started building one.
