If any one has the chance find a copy of "Those magnificent men and their flyingmachines". It's a 1965 movie about an international air race set in the 1900'spretty good comedy but great old plane footage.Jake--------"Be who you are and say what you think, those that mind don't matter, andthose that matter don't mind" Dr. SeussRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Frued table saw bladesDate: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:24:06 -0500
Pietenpol-List: Frued table saw blades

Jake,One thing to remember when calculating board feet of wood required is totake into account the thickness of the saw blade. I know, it's only about1/8 of an inch, but when you are talking about strips 1/4" x 1/2", it makesa difference.As I recall, you'll need roughly one hundred six-foot lengths of capstrip tomake thirty ribs (not sure why you would want ten wall hangers). If you addone sawblade thickness to the width and height of a capstrip, your effectivesize of the capstrip becomes 3/8" x 5/8". This means that you would needabout 10 bf , but I would add 20% for scrap and undetectable defects. Buteven at that, you're only running about $80 for your rib wood (plus about$50 for a 4' x 4' sheet of 1/16" ply for gussets).Bill C. -----Original Message-----

Dick,based on my recent experience you will likely get 40 hours. The reason is the engine and propeller are not a certficated combination. See FAA Advisory Circular 20-27F, page 13.--Jim Lagowski----- Original Message -----

Mike,Looks like you have received lots of advice (I did not say 'good').Obviously Mike C lied to you about this group, as vendors are prone to do..;<)I was very lucky to find a local hard wood supplier (who also knows A/Cgrade) who allowed me to root through all his stacks of wood. My Piet isalmost all Poplar! I bought mostly full 1" pieces (usually 1 1/16") and havecut everything to size. My spars are not yet purchased, but they will beFir. So far I have spent less than $300 and that includes all the Hickoryfor my landing gear struts, cabanes and wing struts! You could buy a goodtable saw, mill your own wood, and have less into it than buying A/C Sprucefrom a supplier! The fuselage and tail are all framed and I still haveenough wood to build all the ribs. Also, as Mike C said (he doesn't lie about everything), I bought a carbidetipped saw blade 5 years ago (about $100) and have cut a prolific amount ofwood for all sorts of home projects. The blade has never been sharpened!!Come to think of it.everything I know about Piets came from thisgroup..guess I was wrong about Cuy..someday I'll buy him a beer and tell himhow much I like the video..Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, working on fuselage(10 ribs down.) _____
