Pietenpol-List: Next time...

Post by matronics »

I have the one piece and, while it was probably less complex to build, it was apain in the butt to handle. I was stranded on more than one occasion lookingfor help to flip it. As Jack says, if I land out and have to recover the aircraftby truck the one piece wing will be a challenge.Regarding weight savings: I believe most of my corvair brothers have built thethree piece and and the corvair powered piets are all about the same weight.I'll built a 3 piece wing next time.--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/San Marcos, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Next time...

I just hope I get the one I'm working on finished before I pass on! I have never considered building another one. I might think more about it after I have flown the current one for a while. There are some things I would have done differently had I known before hand what would happen. ChuckDon not archive----- Original Message -----
