Today was jackpot day!
In the mail today, my plans came from Don Pietenpol,and my DVD from Mike Cuy came. Buster Brown brought the last of the books Ihad been waiting to get here from EAA. Like Christmas in June. 
Now all I need is an A&P job or some kind of job that will produce enough incometo pay bills, and buy wood. I put Mike's DVD in the computer (I haveWindows Vista on this one) and it started. It doesn't want to fast forward, orskip ahead when I ask it to. It will pause when I ask it to, so hopefully, Iwon't be limited to the DVD player to watch it. Another bonus for the day! --------Long flights, smooth air, and soft landings,GliderMike, aka Mike GlasgowRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Plans are here

The Prop I have is a 76 X 46 Sensenich and turns 2000 Plus , but the Prop thatis on the Funk powered Piet is a 76 X 44 and turns 2000 and a Sensenich Semitardesign and will pull the Piet at 85 with two people. That is where your propwith the proper flex will go into over drive when backed down on the throttle.My estimate or guess, you should cruise along nicely at 70 plus around 1800.Neat looking Piet Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Plans are here

Yep, you are right that it would be a convenient way to get started, but it wouldindeed start to add up. Your hobby shop may be more reasonable than mine. Most of the ones here are chainstores like Hobby Lobby or specialized hobby outlets (R/C aircraft). A goodselection, but given the quantity of materials we require, none of them offerthe best deal in wood products. I know that there are also marine outlets,but I have never compared selection or prices.bcharvet(at)bellsouth.net wrote:> I have a local hobby shop that has the 6 in x 12 in plywood that isn't too expensive,but I guess to make all the ribs it would really add up.

Some big rough beams, or perhaps anold building that is being torn down, or a barn on a farm- all youneed are a couple of dry, fairly straight, rough timbers to yieldall the straight-grain lumber you'll need to build your airframe, ribs,tail feathers, and miscellaneous structure. Once you run themthrough a planer or jointer and then rip them to final dimensionon the table saw, you'll have more building stock than you needand you will have smelled some of the most wonderful wood smellsthat God has placed on this earth. All you'll need after that is alittle bit of glue and plenty of time in the shop and it will start to come together. I'll bet you can scrounge all your woodfor a few bucks, or for the price of your sweat to haul off someold wooden timbers. From there, it's all just fun and desire topull dimensioned structural shapes from big rough timbers.I love building with wood!Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2010 21:04:45 -0700 (PDT)

Hey Shad,I'm still planning on showing up Friday evening, with one of the kiddos. I justmight take you up on that offer to use a tent and air mattress or hangar flooror whatever. I talked to Frank P. and he said he still doesn't have the Lambertback up and running, so he probably won't be making it. I'm looking forward to it! Who else is coming?
