Am planning on attending this year for our first visit, I ordered the Pietenpolplans and and am in the process of making room in the shop for the Air CamperProject.. One of my other passions is old GM Converted buses, I have a converted 1959 4104GM Coach, can anyone recommend a campground with water/electric hookups closeto the airport, could get by with no water or sewer but an electric cord wouldbe nice. I probably will now tow a car so close would be great...I understandthere is camping on site but no hookups?ThanksRickRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Hi RickBrodhead is a simple small town, but it has good facilities. The airport is about a mile out of town. You can bring your camper in and park it in the airport parking lot for a total charge of $5. There is no electricity or water sewer hookups.Dick N.----- Original Message -----

Dan just beat me to the thought. If this was a new design it would be a differentstory, or if you plan on redesigning the airplane (not recommended). I startedwith the ribs. You can start the project with less than two hundred dollars,build the jig and go at it. I did not build a mock up and would have felt Iwas wasting building time. I drew out the larger parts on brown paper and orderedvery specific cuts from Spruce and Wicks. They are very accommodating andit saves a lot of waste. Don't over analyze and don't over plan. Order some capstrip (5 foot pieces), 16th inch ply, ask them to cut it for cheapest shipping,buy the T-88 local and go to it. Plenty of examples of rib jigs on the web.Jump in with the ribs and rest will take care of it self. The EAA website hassome good tips in their Hints for Homebuilders section.Have fun.ChuckRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead 2012

Terry; I'm sorry I can't offer exact dimensions and I don't know whether the fittingson 41CC are to plans or not, but perhaps you can look at the pictures here:http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/repair ... on.htmlThe 2nd and 6th images on that page will give you some idea of what you have todeal with in that area. Besides the heads of the strut attach bolts, you haveto slip on the tangs that the X-brace wires attach to. Another consideration,albeit minor, is that the inspection covers need to be accessed and they areright at the bolt heads.You can see a very nice arrangement here:http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/John_piet.htmlLook at the 5th image from the bottom. John Dilatush installed wing tiedowns atthose strut attach points and also extended the fittings generously below thebottom wing skin so that a box-end wrench or socket could be put over the nutson the attach fitting bolts. You might put a socket on your ratchet and seehow much space you need to get it onto a nut that is tight up against a surface.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Brodhead 2012

Terry, the new improved plans from 1934 show both the original strut attach strapdesign and a new design that Mr. Pietenpol recommended as a replacement.
