02/23/2001 01:28:05 PMHi Everyone,With all the talk about spars, etc. over the past few days, something thatI've wondered about from time to time stirred in the back corners of what'sleft of my mind (try being a first-time father at age 41 some time).Namely, has anyone ever put together a comprehensive list of wood types &sizes necessary to build a Piet? I'm talking about a list that wouldreadily translate into an order to a supplier. I got the constructionmanual from the Pietenpols when I bought my plans & there is a 'parts' listin the back, but it's really just that, a list of all the pre-cut parts BHPused to sell. I'm looking for more of a 'bulk wood' list, i.e. 'x feet of3/4 x 1/2" rib stock', or the # of sq. ft. of each thickness of plywoodneeded, etc. Anyone ever created such a list that they'd be willing toshare?Thanks!Kip GardnerLaboratory Manager, ODUDept. of Ocean, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences4600 Elkhorn AvenueNorfolk, VA 23529(757)683-5654Bumper Sticker of the Week:"When I Grow Up, I Want To Be A Kid!________________________________________________________________________________

Kip,I was given a list made up by a previous builder that Aircraft Spruce basedtheir quote on. I had sent it to a few people back when this was discussedearlier. Be glad to send it to you if you'd like. At this point I'm donewith all of the wood work, and the quantities came out pretty much on themoney.walt---------------------------------------------------------- Original Message -----

02/26/2001 10:08:53 AMMark,William Wynne, the guy who publishes the Corvair conversion manual, has ashort fuselage Piet that he bought as his 'test bed' for his engineconversion. When I visited him in FL, I asked him how far forward he had toextend his engine mount to compensate for the short fuse. He said an extra6". Of course, he had a Corvair mounted on this plane (approx. 210lbs. drygross wt.), I don't know how that compares to a Continental or Franklin.BTW, he sells an improved engine mount for the Corvair that is lighter thanBHP's design & is very reasonably priced.Good Luck!Kip GardnerLaboratory Manager, ODUDept. of Ocean, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences4600 Elkhorn AvenueNorfolk, VA 23529(757)683-5654Bumper Sticker of the Week:"When I Grow Up, I Want To Be A Kid!________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Wood?

Walt, Re your ? aboutBrodhead, I sure hope to get there myself in the next year or so. You canget the 'straight from the horses mouth' info from the 'new' BPA (BrodheadPietenpol Association). They have a web site at: www.pietenpol.org Rightnow the site is a little short on content, but it has contact info, etc.Like the 'old' BPA, annual membership is $10, not a bad deal.Kip GardnerLaboratory Manager, ODUDept. of Ocean, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences4600 Elkhorn AvenueNorfolk, VA 23529(757)683-5654Bumper Sticker of the Week:"When I Grow Up, I Want To Be A Kid!________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2001 09:06:30 -0700 (MST)
