Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Bakeing DueceCraig,I saw a pic of the Duece once and was attracted. Like the upper single wing, open cockpit configuration. Just thought it would be nice to think of it as an all wood bird like the Piet. Would be as strong if not stronger and I would appreciate the extra room. That's my only objection to the Piet, too crowded.A few questions please:How long is the fuse?Wing span? Spar lengths of each panel? Would a round Cessna 150 gear be applicable? And what engine is recomended? I have a Lyc 0 235 and Cont 0 200 available.Corky in La just thinking about his next project________________________________________________________________________________
