If I am building the 3-piece wing, do I need to build 6 ribs with the additional bracing, instead of two as called for on the plans?Chris TracySacramento, CaWebsite at http://www.WestCoastPiet.com ________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks Guys, it sounds like I need to make 4 more. One clarification. I think I only need the plywood on the two center section and the two inner wing panel ribs. Basically the 4 new ones needed because if the 3-piece design. Is this correct?Chris TracySacramento, CaWebsite at http://www.WestCoastPiet.com ----- Original Message -----

Hi all, re discussion on the strength of bolts through longerons for cabanefittings, for what it is worth an old aircraft wood worker friend has advised meto run a liquid type glue thru all holes, wait for it to cure, thenream I used West Systems two part epoxy he explained that the glue penetrates the wood fibres & makes everything much stonger.The plans I am using are from the PFA in England & they reccommend usingtufnol bushes for all holes for lift stut fittings thru the spars & alsofor all fittings for engine mount to front of fuse Tufnol Rod can befound from a supplier in the UK. Not expensive!!Talk to Gavin Davis email shop@davis-plast.co.ukWeb site for Tufnol www.tufnol.co.ukkeep buildingGraham Hewitt________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: 3-Piece Wing Rib Question

Chris, I was told by a few experienced Pietenpol builders that it was advisableto add the most rearward brace, shown as a dashed line on the wing plan drawing,to all of your wing ribs. I was told that a piet wing has experienced failurein this area of the wing during a pull out from a steep dive. It sound logical.But I sure would like to hear from more builders who have actually addedthis brace to all the ribs.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 8017#208017________________________________________________________________________________
