Ragwing ultrapiet is wood,ply gussets fuse spars are ply Web with spruce caps. ribs are 1/4 x1/4 spruce with ply gussets. Very much like a scout . Fun airplane.Hard to get weight to legal. Ultralight with minimal panel, nice turtledeck,spoked motorcycle wheels and brakes mine came in as a perfect exampleof a fat Nevada ultralight and I loved itSent from my iPhone> On Feb 17, 2014, at 7:21 PM, "taildrags" wrote:> > > WF2 wrote-> >> A "pop" riveted gusset plate aluminum tube Pietenpol fuselage>> could be done .... would be an interesting exercise.

Legal ultralight, performanceand dimensions actually quite close to the real Air Camper except thatthe Ultra-Piet is single place (by Part 103 definition). Most fly with air-cooled2-strokes.
