I wish they did. This is the only flaw I have found with them (so far) and the other online vendors that have reasonable pricing. Besides, these shirts are mostly worn when eating fatty foods, partaking of too much liquor and the telling of lies about love conquests and flying adventures.

I have a question about the lower motor mount fittings that are bolted to the lowerfuselage longerons. On the original plans, Bernard shows two small tabs thatare bent at right angles to the fitting. These are the tabs that rest againstthe firewall. My question is how necessary are they structurally? I have somephotos of finished Piets where they are not there, some where the tabs arethere, but butt welded instead of screwed into the longeron as Bernard shows.If the upper tab is screwed in place. it will interfere with the upper cross bolt.The lower tab screw will be very close to the bottom of the longeron. On theoriginal plans, Bernard must have used wood screws to attach the tabs. It appearsthat on the original, these tabs did not add anything structurally, butactually weakened the structure. I realize that welding the left and right halvesof the lower fittings together at the tabs would be better, but is it reallynecessary?I have attached a drawing showing the fiiting.Thanks,Rick Schreiber________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Skinny axles WAS Brodhead Pietenpol GatheringDate: Tue, 7 Jul 2009 11:11:55 -0400

I think each of us build these things slightly different. It is always interestingto inspect other peoples process or technique. When I see some sort of differenceit makes me say, "wow, that's a cool way to do that"... and I oftenwonder, "did I do that right?" I may post a few pics of mine later just to getsome eyeballs on them. I'm nearly 100% certain that mine are just fine. Theymay not be just like others, but they were built to the plans and should workfine. I was sanding several of my ribs last night in preparation for urethane coatingwhen I started to notice that each one is a separate work of art. I cut thegussets in batches, and they were all built in the same jig... so they are nearlyidentical... but to the builder there are noticeable characteristics thatstart to become more evident after handling a part so many times.
