Those who are increasing the center section to 3', are you diminishing thewings by a like amount? Does anyone have a flying example of a 3 piece wingwith a 3' center section?Gary Boothe Cool, CA WW Conversion 90% done, Working on Tail Group (and ribs) _____

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: 3' Center SectionNot that I know of, but I built mine with a 4' center section with vertical cabanes. I did take off the amount of wing panels to get the same wingspan.Flies fine. Larger center section gave a slight increase in fuel capacity. ~14gallons.Stevee

Gary,Bill Rewey's NX17WR has a three-foot center section. It flies (a lot). Idon't know whether he shortened the outboard wing panels or not.Here's a link to a photo of his center-section:http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/Bil ... 05.JPGBill C. _____

So far I have come up with Bill Rewey, Jack Phillips and Roman Bukolt. Theremay be more, but that's all I know of for now. The pro's seem to all beabout increasing the center section tank size, primarily. Size range from30", 36" and 48".Does anyone care to express any concerns or cautions?Gary Boothe Cool, CA WW Conversion 90% done, Working on Tail Group _____

Hi Jack...I had thought about putting my radio in the centersection of my Piet a long time ago but decided that reaching up into the wind stream would make it difficult if not impossible to change stations etc. My Piet is not flying yet and I am still toying with the idea so I thought I would ask someone with first hand experience if it is a problem or not.
