Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Dumb wing spar mistake?Ben,I personally would not hesitate to fly behind this spar as repaired. The doublers will strengthen the whole area and there is no way I see those holes becoming a stress riser. When doing a repair of a cracked spar, the method is simply to use plywood doublers per AC43-13. Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL.

After someone's post, I've decided to go ahead and register, rather than renewing my N number each year.Before I fill out the form though, I wanted to get your input on what I should write in the "manufacturer and model" box, and in the "serial number" box.I'm thinking of putting "Pietenpol air camper experimental" in the first and "Blumberg Pietenpol 001" in the second.Thoughts/ experiences??Thanks, as always.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: FAA registration formDate: Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:32:50 -0400
