A guy could probably get creative and make this thing work. Just have to comeup with a way to attach a Stainless Steel welding rod through the bore of it.I suppose you could solder a thin piece top and bottom and run the rod throughit and solder. http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT?PM ... =61847625I used a big fat magic marker body for mine. I pulled all of the ink soaked feltout of it, turned up a small fitting on the lathe for the end of it, drilledand tapped it for my 3/32" threaded welding rod and then welded that onto themarker body. Just some ideas.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Straight axel again

John, I used Fly Baby gear which has no bungees and a single axle, wire braced. Fat, low pressure tires are the Shock absorber. I did so because of Kyle Bradford in Eaton Rapids Mich. who used the same on his many year old Piet. When I looked at his plane I liked the simplicity of it and copied it. He sent me a copy of a Pete Bowers article which shows how to build the gear. Bowers is/was Mr. Flybaby. I'll send you (or others) a copy of what Kyle sent me. It is from an article datedMay 1963.--Jim Lagowski in N.W. Michigan----- Original Message -----

I would sure appreciate a copy, if it is possible. I have the plans and most of the wood and parts, including ribs completed. Will start building this fall. I will pay the cost for copying and sending, etc.Thanks,Ray Krause843 Jay StreetColusa, CA 95932530-458-7097----- Original Message -----

Matt, 2-1/2" is the recommended spacing in the propwash unless your VNE isgreater than 175 mph. If you keep the rib-lacing as done, you will have tolimit your Piet to speeds less than 175. It is conceivable that the tailcould see such speeds, after the wings have been shed in a terminal velocitydive.Incidentally, I used the 2-1/2" spacing on my entire wing, just to make iteasier. It only added a couple of extra stitches per rib.Jack PhillipsNX899JP _____

Matt, I used 2 1/2" spacing in the prop wash area per the diagram in the Polyfiber manual, and then decided to use 2 1/2" everywhere for uniform appearance--Jim Lagowski ----- Original Message -----
