If you are big and tall,I'd think about making the rear cockpit longer,like thelong fuselage drawings or a bit more.I'm 5-9 built the long fuselage and thereisn't much room for my skinny self.dave--------Building a PietRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Avionics package

yup.... it reads in tens of knots... from 20 to 120 on the outer scale then upto 195 on the inner scale as it goes around again..i can't believe these are NOS..the boxes are even cooljeffRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/spee ... ______Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 10:59:09 -0600

Tom,As a rule, edge welding two smaller thicknesses to obtain one thicker finishedpiece does not equal the strength of a solid piece. The only place the two piecesare joined is at the outside edges, so, in bending, the resulting piece isweaker than a solid piece. This would be like making a sheet of plywood, butonly gluing the layers together at the outside edges, with no glue in the middle.Now, if the part will ONLY be loaded in tension (no bending forces), then the two-piecepart will be able to carry basically the same load as the solid piece.The piece that you are referring to (see attached images) will be primarily loadedin tension, so you might be all right with two thinner pieces edge-weldedtogether. But a better solution would be to use a solid piece. The title blockof Drawing No. 3 calls for 1020 steel, not 4130. So, if you can't find a pieceof 5/16" steel locally, I'm sure you could find a piece of 3/8" thick steel.That would provide 20% more strength, and only add one ounce to the total weightof your plane. Alternately, if you can get your hands on a bit of 1/4" thick4130, that would also work, since that would be stronger than 5/16" thick 1020steel.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/lg_1 ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Avionics package
