Hi GuysAfter about 6 months of not being able to post (I didnt know about HTMLe-mail settings) I am finally back on the list.The scout project I had on the go got sold last summer, and I have beenhumming and hawing around looking for something to hang a soob on, and 3days ago finally gave in to the urge to build a piet (again)As of now I just pulled the 1st fuse half from the jig, and by next weekendshould have the second done.This one is not a true piet OR a true GN-1 (sorry to the purists) but rathera hybrid of the 2--plus scout gear--, with some construction methods fromthe Bowers Flybaby and the VP-1 thrown in the mix.Fuse is 3/4" square Ash with birch gussets and mahog skin (full lenght).Wing is GN-1 airfoil with mahog/birch spars and router cut ply ribs. Tail isstraight piet (spruce). Main gear will be Sky Scout and engine is a SoobEA-82 with a Jim Mylanta redrive and a chin-mount rad.Not exactly following any of the plans, but it should keep it interestingenough that I wont get bored with it.MikeAirplanes dont fly on gas, they fly on money.The more money you throw at them,the faster they fly.IHA 110________________________________________________________________________________
