I would like to thank ya'll for the response to my question,I ambuilding a ultra piet, from ragwing aero, with a vne of 65mph. Thanks toya'll I have found the inf. now in ac 43.13-1b, it's kinda hard to seethe first strip of tape on the rib, but there it is. in my plans it saidthat I only had to stitch the bottom of the wing rib? I used themodified seine knot,.. ?guess now that I have the tape on, now I can restitch, and tape again? Also I can't find on the graph for rib stitchingmy vne for how many stitches per inch. I used 3 per inch, can I get anyinput on this. I have the Aircraft Inspection, Repair & alterationsmanual, But not much information for planes with that low vne.Thanks, Owlnhttp://pages.prodigy.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2000 07:06:19 -0500 (EST)

Owln,,, The stits manual shows 2 1/2 inches for areas in the prop wash and 3 1/2 inches outside of the slipstream. This is up to about 160 mph.The 2 1/2 area should cover one station beyond the slipstream.Carl-----Original Message-----

Any suggestions?> Bob,I use motorcycle chain master link covers for shackles. Two covers (the chain size has 3/16 dia holes in the cover but I'm not sure the chain size), two clevis bolts, two castle nuts, two cotter pins per shackle. They tested well and broke the test fixture at 2500 lbs. I may have just been lucky to find a supply of about 200 of these at a local surplus store. I have since used most of them on my planes or I would give you some. I do have 80 hours on the first piet with these installed and am very happy with the result. I have my metal fittings sheared to generic size or at least in strips. For engine mount plates, I stack and weld the four sheared plates together with my wire feed across two unused corners, layout the holes and radii, drill holes and drill for radii cut tabs with hack saw. The four matching parts then separate for deburr paint and installation. I have seen one piet with the oil temp in the front pit. Hope you find an answer.
